| - TL;DR: Find someone else to mount your TV. If they mounted your TV, check for extension cords which are fire / safety hazards.
**UPDATE**
The owner called me after I posted this review trying to get me to give a higher rating. During the conversation he defended their use of extension cords by saying they only use UL certified extension cords which are safe. I responded that was not true and that the more he talked, it was clear he wasn't aware of what he was talking about.
Here you go Nick, straight from the NEC itself:
NEC ARTICLE 400 Flexible Cords and Cables General 400.1 Scope.
This article covers general requirements, applications, and construction specifications for flexible cords and flexible cables.
400.8 Uses Not Permitted.
Flexible cords and cables shall not be used for the following:
(1) As a substitute for the fixed wiring of a structure
(2) Where run through holes in walls, structural ceilings, suspended ceilings, dropped ceilings, or floors
(3) Where run through doorways, windows, or similar openings
(4) Where attached to building surfaces
Exception: Flexible cord and cable shall be permitted to be attached to building surfaces in accordance with the provisions of 368.8.
(5) Where concealed by walls, floors, or ceilings or located above suspended or dropped ceilings
**END UPDATE**
Amazon sub-contracted this company to mount my TV to the wall and install a PowerBridge to conceal the cords. Two guys show up, and we get down to discussing the details.
I show them the TV, HDMI cable, power cord, TV mount, and where I want it mounted. One guy immediately says my TV power cable won't be long enough to run through the wall. I replied that it's not safe to run the TV cord through the wall, but they should install a certified PowerBridge kit which creates a second outlet.
They tell me they don't have this kit and that instead they will use extension cords. I told them no, extension cords are not safe, and proceeded to show them the Amazon invoice which clearly states the service provider is suppose to supply a Powerbridge kit based on the price I was paying.
They finally call their boss and offer to install a new outlet, daisy chained off the existing TV outlet, but neither of the two guys on-site doing the work were certified electricians or even journeyman. They claimed their boss was certified, but the boss wasn't going to be doing the work.
I turned them away...
