Professional Projector Installation
Professional projector installation is the process by which an expert in electronics installs your projector either in your home, office, or school. A projector is basically a device that takes on images using light as well as concave and convex lenses. These images are then projected on a wall or larger screen, creating a magnified appearance. It is ideal for presentations or even watching videos and shows. However, it is not as easy as taking it out of the box and turning it on. Instead, it is going to need to be mounted, hung in the right spot, and the wires will more than likely need to be hidden to make it look presentable. Your projector may also connect to a wireless network, meaning that there will need to be some setup with the computer system. Because this can be a complex process, many opt to bring in a professional company to install their projectors. This is especially true when a company or school purchases multiple projectors for different areas.
How much does it cost?
- The cost of installing a projector varies due to certain circumstances. For example, the location or state where the projector is purchased and installed; the brand, features size, and specifications of the projector; the skill and experience of the person you hire to install the projector; and the labor costs may affect the price. Another factor can include height of the ceiling and the length from the projector to the screen on the wall.
- On average, most projector installation jobs are going to include both the projectors and screen at the same time. For a simple job, plan on budgeting anywhere from as little as $500 to as much as $1,900 for professional projector installation.
- For example, MRTVMount.com, a service located in Virginia, charges $499 for a professional projector installation. For another $199, the screen can be installed, which can bring the total to a pinch over $700.
What is going to be included?
- The total cost may include the cost to prepare the work site for the installation of the projector, materials, components, job cleanup and debris removal upon completion, labor setup time, mobilization and minimum hourly charges.
- Before the project begins, a professional will be able to explore and analyze the installation. Once he is hired, a projector will be connected to an existing power supply and the cables will be concealed from the naked eye. Once the wires are concealed, the ceiling mount will be installed and the projector will be mounted. After the projector is installed, a screen will usually follow to make sure that the projector is at the right distance. Finally, a demonstration will be given to show the customer exactly how the projector works. This can last 20 minutes or so.
What are the extra costs?
- Extra costs may be incurred for delivery and pick-up of the projector from the store to your home.
- There may be additional cables and connections needed for installation that will need to be purchased separately.
- If your projector purchase did not come with the mounting piece, one will be needed.
- In order to need professional projector installation, your are going to need a projector. Additional fees such as speakers and screens are something to budget for as well. SEE: “How much does a home theater cost?“
- Other costs may also be necessary for permit or inspection fees required by the local building department, sales tax on materials and supplies, and general contractor fees for organizing and supervising the installation of the projector.
- Complex jobs with higher ceilings or spaces larger than usual can cost more.
- If you are purchasing multiple projectors, you will need to pay for installation on each one. However, the professional should give you a discount per projector.
Tips to know
- Be sure to shop around for the cost of installing a projector in your area so that you will be able to compare prices and quality. A great way to compare quotes is simply by using free services such as HomeAdvisor.com. Here, you can put in your job description and contractors will bid.
How can I save money?
- Invest in a good quality projector that will fit your needs and your lifestyle. You do not need to spend a lot of money on an expensive high end projector if your only purpose is for personal or entertainment use at home. Try to assess your needs first.
- Take advantage of sales and promos so that you can save money on your purchase. Many stores will offer discounted installation deals if you purchase directly from them.
- Instead of hiring people to install your projector, you may opt to install it yourself. If you are unsure, ask around to family and friends. Chances are good that you know at least one person who will know how to do it.
