Best Buy Canada lists TV setup with mounting starting at $249.99 for TVs 50 inches and smaller, with higher prices for larger sizes. A local installer such as Pixl charges for labour by TV size and sells the mount separately: in Calgary and Edmonton, labour is $99.99 for 32 to 60 inch TVs and $109.99 for 61 to 79 inches, plus a $70 fixed, $80 tilt or $125 full-motion mount, before tax. The two prices are not like for like, so compare what each one includes.

Mounts are $70 fixed, $80 tilt or $125 full-motion. A fireplace adds $20. Harder walls add: plaster $10, metal studs $15, concrete, tile or stone $50 and brick $80. Hiding wires is $25 in an existing channel, $60 in a raceway or $99.50 inside the wall.
How do the totals compare by TV size?
These Pixl totals are labour plus a tilt mount at $80, before tax, with no wire hiding. Best Buy’s figure is its listed setup price. They are close to like for like only if you add the same extras, so use them as a guide.
| TV | Best Buy listed price | Pixl labour | Tilt mount | Pixl total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 43 inch | $249.99 | $99.99 | $80 | $179.99 |
| 65 inch | $349.99 | $109.99 | $80 | $189.99 |
| 85 inch | $449.99 | $149.99 | $80 | $229.99 |
A bigger TV may need a heavier or full-motion mount, which changes the total. Confirm the mount before you compare.
What should you ask any TV installer before booking?
| Ask | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Is the mount included, and what type? | A mount is often a separate cost. |
| What does the price include for wires? | Hiding wires is often an add-on. |

| Is there a travel or remote-area charge? | Stores may not serve remote locations. |
| Can you take the old mount or TV away? | Haul-away is often extra. |
