When it comes to installing electronics around your home, it’s easy to think, “How hard can it be?”
But one wrong move with a wall mount, a tangled mess of wires, or a poorly placed security camera can turn a simple upgrade into a frustrating, expensive fix.
Whether you’re setting up a new entertainment center or adding motion detectors for peace of mind, here are 7 TV & Electronic Tips to help you get it done right—the first time.
1. TV Mounting: Don’t Just Wing It
By now you may have realized that your brand new 4K TV doesn’t look as good mounted on the wall than it does sitting in a box. Don’t worry, we’re here to help! With our expertise and experience handling all sorts of mounting situations – like putting up large signs or banners without damaging them (and even showing customers how) — there’s no task too big for us.
Mounting a TV isn’t just about drilling holes and hoping for the best. You need to know:
• The weight of your TV
• The type of wall (drywall, brick, etc.)
• The location of studs and wiring
Do use a level and a stud finder.
Don’t trust drywall anchors alone—they won’t hold up over time.
At Rutherford Handyman, we mount TVs safely, securely, and with all the cords tucked away for a clean, professional look.
2. Computer Setup: Avoid the Headaches
Setting up a new computer or home office system can be overwhelming—especially if you’re juggling Wi-Fi, printers, cloud backups, and security software.
Do make sure your system is protected with antivirus and firewall settings.
Don’t skip updates or ignore those “setup” prompts—they often include critical security features.
We’ll get your system up and running, optimized for speed and safety, without the tech jargon.Handy professionals are the most experienced folks in their field, with thousands of installations under our belt. We’re not satisfied until you are!
3. Entertainment Centers: Plan Before You Plug
From gaming consoles to streaming devices, entertainment centers can quickly become a jungle of wires and remotes.
Do plan your layout with ventilation in mind—electronics generate heat.
Don’t overload power strips or daisy-chain extension cords.
We help you organize, install, and streamline your setup so it’s functional, safe, and easy to use.
4. Motion Detectors: Placement Is Everything
Motion detectors are great for security and energy savings, but only if they’re installed correctly.
Do place them at entry points and hallways for maximum coverage.
Don’t install them near vents, windows, or heat sources—they’ll trigger false alarms.
We’ll help you choose the right detectors and install them where they’ll actually do their job.
5. Security Cameras: Think Like a Burglar
Security cameras are only as good as their placement and visibility.
Do install cameras at entry points, driveways, and blind spots.
Don’t point them directly at glass or lights—glare can ruin the footage.
We offer smart camera installation with remote access options, so you can monitor your property from anywhere.
6. Cable Management: Keep It Clean
Loose wires aren’t just ugly—they’re a tripping hazard and a fire risk.
Do use cable sleeves, clips, and raceways to keep cords tidy.
Don’t leave wires exposed or tangled behind furniture.
We’ll make sure your setup looks sharp and stays safe.
7. DIY vs. Professional Help: Know When to Call
Some TV & Electronic projects are perfect for DIY. Others? Not so much.
Do call a pro if you’re dealing with electrical work, wall mounting, or anything involving ladders.
Don’t risk injury or damage just to save a few bucks.
We’re here to help with all your TV and electronic needs—from setup to troubleshooting—with no pressure and no upsells.
