What does TV installation in a senior living residence cost?
A suite TV is a standard mounting job. There is no seniors’ residence package; the table shows the residential lines a suite adds up from, and equipment is bought separately. Labour shown is for Calgary and Edmonton, and TV mounting service has other cities.

What size TV suits a suite?
Size the screen from the chair. A common AV planning rule puts the seat at no more than about 8 times the picture height for video, and about 6 times when the viewer reads captions or small text. It is a guide, not a Pixl spec. Where to put the centre of the screen is covered in how high to mount a TV, and we mark the height with the resident before we drill.
| Seat distance | Video only (8x) | Captions or small text (6x) | Pixl labour for the 6x size |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6 ft (1.8 m) | 18 in. (32 in. common) | 24 in. (32 in. common) | $99.99 |
| 8 ft (2.4 m) | 24 in. (32 in. common) | 33 in. (43 in. common) | $99.99 |
| 10 ft (3.0 m) | 31 in. (32 in. common) | 41 in. (43 in. common) | $99.99 |
| 12 ft (3.7 m) | 37 in. (43 in. common) | 49 in. (50 in. common) | $99.99 |
If in doubt, choose the next size up. Pick the size first, then we plan the mount.

What does a visit cover, and what does it not?
| Task | Pixl | Someone else |
|---|---|---|
| Mount a TV, hide the cable, set up a streaming box | Yes, with the posted lines | – |
| Mount a soundbar and connect it | Yes, $50 + $50 | – |
| Take down and remove an old TV | Yes, $45 per screen | – |
| Residence WiFi, nurse call or emergency alert systems | No | The residence and its supplier |
| Medical or fall monitoring, cameras inside a suite | No | The residence and the resident decide first |
| New outlets or network cable | No | An electrician or cabling contractor |
We do not offer monitoring of any kind. Cameras inside a private suite raise consent and privacy questions, so talk to the residence and the resident first.

Senior living residence TV installation: frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to mount a TV in a retirement residence suite?
From posted prices, a 43 in. TV on a tilt mount with the cable in a raceway and the old TV taken down is $284.99 before tax. A soundbar and one streaming box in the same suite is $304.99. Equipment is extra.
Can a family member book it, or must the residence?
Either can ask for a price. The residence usually has to approve wall work, so confirm that in writing before we book and tell us what paperwork it wants.
What size TV should a resident choose?
Use the distance from the chair. For video only, about 8 times the picture height; for captions or small text, about 6 times. A 10 ft seat distance suits a 43 in. TV on the 6x rule.
Can you mount a TV on a concrete or metal-stud wall?
Yes. Concrete, tile or stone adds $50 and metal studs add $15 per screen. Send a photo of the wall.
Can you take the old TV away?
We take down and remove an old TV for $45 per screen.
Can you price several suites or several residences?
No volume discount is posted. Send a list of suites and ask for a multi-site quote.
Do you offer monitoring, medical alerts or cameras for residents?
No. Pixl does not offer monitoring or alert systems, and we do not recommend cameras inside a private suite.
When do we pay?
After the job, by card, e-transfer or cash. The fixed price is confirmed from photos before we book.

Sources and method. Posted Pixl prices checked October 31, 2026: TV labour $79.99 (up to 31 in.), $99.99 (32 to 60 in.), $109.99 (61 to 79 in.); mounts $70, $80, $125; cables $25, $60, $99.50; device $25; old TV $45; soundbar $50 + $50; walls plaster +$10, metal studs +$15, concrete +$50, brick +$80; WiFi from $129. These are residential posted prices; no seniors’ residence price is posted. Calculated in Python: suite swap = 99.99 + 80 + 60 + 45 = 284.99; suite with soundbar = 99.99 + 80 + 25 + 50 + 50 = 304.99; lounge = 109.99 + 80 + 50 + 60 + 25 = 324.99; five suites = 5 x 284.99 = 1424.95; residence = 1424.95 + 324.99 = 1749.94. Screen size = (seat distance in inches / 8 or 6) / 0.4903, where 0.4903 = 9 / sqrt(16^2 + 9^2); the 8x and 6x multipliers are a common AV planning rule of thumb. Planning estimates, not a quote.
