- CristalHD ranks first (19 of 20) and Pixl second (17), ahead of Servicified (14), Audovation (10) and Geek Squad (7).
- Pixl ties for the top score on posted prices, quotes and pay-after terms, and scores 0 on public reviews.
- Ask every company: is the price exact before you book, when do you pay, how long is the warranty?
How did we score these 5 companies?
Every company gets ten checks worth 0 to 2 points, 20 at most. The card was written before we scored anyone and is the same for all, Pixl included. A point needs a statement on the company’s own website or public listing (HomeStars, Google if visible, Bark); anything not stated scores 0 (“not stated on its website, checked November 11, 2026”). BBB is not used. The order is the sum of the ten scores, and ties are listed alphabetically.

| 3. Pay after the job | Stated | Deposit or payment at booking |
| 4. Same-day or next-day | Stated | Broad hours or 7 days only |

Why do we rank ourselves where we do, and where do others beat us?
Pixl ranks second with 17 of 20; CristalHD ranks first with 19. CristalHD scores 2 on public reviews (Google, 5.0 from 749) and 2 on age, where Pixl scores 0 and 1. Pixl scores 2 on insurance and CristalHD 1: Pixl states it has the permits and insurance needed for this work, CristalHD says only “fully insured”. The other seven checks are level.
Others beat Pixl on public reviews (CristalHD 749, Servicified 162, Audovation 36). Pixl leads Servicified and Audovation on posted prices, paying after the job and warranty term. Pixl has few public reviews so far; we show them here when we have them. Pixl does not rank first, so this page calls no company the best overall.

What local rules matter for TV mounting in Calgary?
Condos and rentals. Ask your board or landlord before you drill, especially into concrete. CristalHD’s booking form labels drywall on metal studs “Standard Apartment Building”; Pixl (+$15) and CristalHD (+$20) both price it.
Outlets and wiring. A new outlet behind a TV is electrical work. The City of Calgary says an electrical permit is required for all new wiring installations and for extending or altering a branch circuit, and not for replacing fixtures alone (checked November 11, 2026). Ask who pulls the permit.
Fireplaces and masonry. Pixl adds $20 for a fireplace; CristalHD installs pull-down mounts at $129; Best Buy does not mount on stone or brick.
