Yes, especially if safety is a concern. Mounting a TV might seem simple, but doing it incorrectly can lead to damaged walls, unstable mounting, or even injury. This is particularly important when the TV is being mounted high.
Professionals understand proper lifting techniques, secure anchoring, and weight distribution. That means your walls and TV are protected from damage, and everyone involved stays safe.
At Laughlin, we take safety and your investment seriously. We’ll always assess your setup before any work begins, use the proper tools and techniques, and leave your home just as clean as when we arrived.
Yes, you can, but it depends on the complexity of the setup and your confidence with electrical, audio, and structural work.
Simple, all-in-one soundbars or plug-and-play systems are generally DIY-friendly. But if you’re installing in-wall speakers, running wiring through ceilings, mounting equipment, or integrating smart controls, a professional is usually the safer and cleaner choice.
Home theaters are generally a higher-cost project. The total investment depends on the scope of the setup and the level of customization involved:
Yes, a home theater system can be a great investment if it fits your lifestyle and space.
For those who enjoy movies, sports, or gaming, having a dedicated space with high-quality sound, lighting, and visuals offers an immersive experience that’s hard to match with standard setups. It also adds everyday comfort and convenience, giving you a space to enjoy with family and friends.
While it does require a larger upfront investment, many homeowners find the experience, enjoyment, and long-term value well worth it.
The cost of professionally installing a surround sound system depends on the complexity of your setup. Factors like the number of speakers, type of wiring, room layout, equipment integration, and other custom features can all influence the overall cost.
If you’re interested in a surround sound system from Laughlin Electric, contact our team. We’ll take the time to understand your goals and provide a clear, upfront estimate tailored to your space and needs.
Most surround sound systems are fairly efficient and don’t use a significant amount of electricity during normal use. A basic home setup with a receiver and 5 to 7 speakers generally uses about the same amount of power as a small appliance when active, and even less when idle or turned off.
If energy efficiency is important to you, many modern systems come equipped with eco or standby modes that reduce power consumption when not in use. Laughlin can recommend energy-conscious options that suit your needs and install them safely and efficiently.
