Home Theater & AV Wiring
Quick answer
In-wall AV wiring for theaters and media rooms, concealed TV cabling, surround speaker pre-wire, projector runs, and dedicated AV circuits. Typically $500–$2,500 by scope.Typical installed cost: $500–$2,500
Great rooms deserve better than a cable waterfall under the TV. We conceal power and signal in-wall (with code-rated cable and proper boxes, not extension cords behind drywall), pre-wire surround and Atmos speakers, run projector and screen power, and add the dedicated circuit serious systems want.
About Home Theater & AV Wiring
The gap between a TV on a wall and a room people fight to watch movies in is mostly wiring: concealed power and signal, speakers where the format intends them, a projector fed without a cable crossing the ceiling, and equipment on a circuit that doesn't sag when the subwoofer hits.
We do the electrician's share of great AV: in-wall rated cable and boxes, recessed power behind displays, 5.1/7.1/Atmos speaker pre-wire with proper backing, dedicated 20A circuits for racks and amplifiers, and lighting zones dimmed for viewing.
Media room electrical checklist
- Recessed power + cable pass-through behind the display
- Surround pre-wire: 4 ceiling + 3 front stage covers most formats
- Projector outlet and conduit to the rack
- Dedicated circuit for amp/receiver/subwoofer stacks
- Zoned, dimmable lighting with a 'movie' scene

Yes, a recessed power/signal kit puts an outlet behind the TV and passes HDMI through the wall legally and invisibly. It's a 1–2 hour visit that transforms the room.
No, power cords and extension cords in walls violate code and void insurance. In-wall power uses proper circuits; in-wall signal uses CL2/CL3-rated cable. We do both correctly.
Now, if any ceiling or wall is open or accessible, speaker pre-wire is cheap during other work and expensive as its own project later.
Yes, most theater work is retrofit: fishing walls, adding the recessed kit, and rationalizing the rack. One visit usually converts spaghetti into a serviceable system.
