The median TV mounting quote we received was $235. Half of 843 real quotes, sent from 19 June 2025 to 1 October 2026, fell between $170 and $310. Your total depends on your city’s labour rate, the mount you choose, your wall and whether the wires are hidden.

What counts as a quote in this report?
One quote is one completed submission of our TV form: a person chose a city, TV size, mount, wall and extras, and the form showed a total. After cleaning, 843 real quotes remain from 19 June 2025 to 1 October 2026.
A quote is not a sale or an invoice. Some quotes never became jobs, and the total is the ticket, not our margin.
| Step | Detail |

| Warning for Ontario | 243 of the 843 quotes (29%) were sent under an older Ontario price list, with labour at $99.99 and $109.49. Those Toronto and Ontario totals run below today’s. |

How do quotes change with TV size?
Mid-size screens dominate: 45% of quotes are for 61 to 79 inch TVs and 42% for 32 to 60 inches. Labour rises with each size band, as the table shows.
| TV size | Share of quotes (n=843) | Labour, Calgary and Edmonton | Labour, Toronto | Labour, Vancouver |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Up to 31 in | 1% | $79.99 | $89.49 | $129.99 |
| 32 to 60 in | 42% | $99.99 | $119.49 | $178.99 |
| 61 to 79 in | 45% | $109.99 | $129.49 | $199.99 |
| 80 in or more | 11% | $149.99 (80 to 89 in), $189.99 (90 in or more) | $169.49 (80 to 89 in), $199.49 (90 in or more) | $219.99 |
Shares are rounded, so they add to 99%. Labour is today’s rate, before tax.
Going from a 55 to a 65 inch TV adds $10 of labour in Calgary, Edmonton and Toronto, and $21 in Vancouver. A full-motion mount costs $55 more than a fixed one, so size is one line among several. We publish no median per size: our source gives it only for all quotes and by city.
How much do quotes differ by city?
In the last 90 days of the window, the median quote was $220 in Calgary, $225 in Edmonton and $264 in Vancouver. Vancouver’s labour rate for a 32 to 60 inch TV, $178.99, is higher than the $99.99 in Calgary and Edmonton.
| City | Quotes in window | Median, last 90 days | Middle half, last 90 days | TV over a fireplace |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Edmonton | 156 | $225 | $162 to $272 | 42% |
| Calgary | 151 | $220 | $177 to $295 | 34% |
| Vancouver | 58 | $264 | $220 to $359 | 26% |
| Toronto | 155 | Not shown | Not shown | 13% |
| All cities | 843 | $235 (whole window) | $170 to $310 (whole window) | 29% |
Window: 19 June 2025 to 1 October 2026. Toronto has no median because many quotes used the older Ontario price list. Quote counts cover the whole window; medians and ranges cover the last 90 days, so each median rests on fewer quotes than shown. Vancouver has the smallest base: read it as a guide.
Labour for a 32 to 60 inch TV is $79.00 higher in Vancouver than in Calgary, yet the median is only $44 higher. Our file does not show why, so we do not claim a reason. Cities with fewer than 50 quotes, such as Kelowna, Winnipeg and Victoria, are left out, and we show no province table because the source has no province counts.

What do people ask us to mount?
Over half of quotes (52%) come from people who already own a mount, so they pay for labour only. Among those who buy a mount from us, full-motion is chosen most (38%), ahead of fixed (33%) and tilting (29%).
| What people ask for | Result | Base |
|---|---|---|
| Already own a mount | 52% | All quotes |
| Mount chosen when buying from us | Full-motion 38%, fixed 33%, tilting 29% | Quotes that buy a mount |
| Hide the wires | 41%; inside the wall 46%, channel 34%, raceway 20% of those | All quotes |
| TV over a fireplace | 29% | All quotes |
| Wall type | Not sure or other 36%, drywall over metal studs 33%, plaster 18%, tile 5%, stone 3%, concrete 2%, brick 2% | All quotes |
Wall type is the hardest question: 36% answered not sure or other, and a photo of the wall settles it. See TV mounting by wall type. Not sure which mount to pick? Read fixed vs full-motion mounts.
What moves a TV mounting price up or down?
The city sets the labour rate. Four choices then add to it: the mount, the wall, hidden wires and extras. Every line except labour is the same in every city.
| Line | Added cost |
|---|---|
| Fixed, tilting or full-motion mount | $70, $80 or $125 |
| Your own mount | $0 |
| TV over a fireplace | +$20 |
| Plaster wall | +$10 |
| Drywall over metal studs | +$15 |
| Concrete, tile or stone | +$50 |
| Brick | +$80 |
| Wires in an existing channel | $25 |
| Wires in a raceway on the wall | $60 |
| Wires inside the wall | $99.50 |

Price-sheet arithmetic, not averaged quotes.
How do you use these numbers to check a quote?
Add up the same lines we do, then compare your total with the middle half, $170 to $310. Any gap points to the line that explains it.
- Find your labour rate. Use your city and TV size in the tables above.
- Add the mount, the wall and the fireplace. The mount is $0 if you own one.
- Add hidden wires and extras. Use the price sheet above.
- Compare. If your total falls outside $170 to $310, check which line explains the gap. Then see your exact price in about 2 minutes. Same-day service is available when we have an opening.
What do these numbers not prove?
They do not show what the market charges or what people paid. They describe Pixl quotes, and each point below limits how far you can stretch them.
| Limit | What it means |
|---|---|
| Not a market average | They show what Pixl quoted, not what other installers charge. |
| Not all households | These are people who were already shopping for an installer and found our TV mounting page. |
| Not what people paid | A quote is not a job. |
| Not for small places or cameras | We received 53 camera quote requests over the same period, too few for any percentage. |

My city is not in the table. Labour for a 32 to 60 inch TV runs from $99.99 to $489.99 across our cities. The form shows yours.

Frequently asked questions
What is the average cost to mount a TV in Canada?
Across 843 Pixl quotes, the median total was $235 and the middle half ran from $170 to $310. That is a median of our own quotes, not a market average. It covers labour plus the mounts, walls, wires and extras people chose, before tax.
Does the price include the mount?
Only if you buy it from us. Mounts add $70 fixed, $80 tilting or $125 full-motion. Some 52% of quotes came from people who already owned a mount, and for them that line is $0. Walls, wires and extras are priced separately.
Why is TV mounting cheaper in Calgary than in Vancouver?
Labour is set city by city. For a 32 to 60 inch TV it is $99.99 in Calgary and Edmonton, $119.49 in Toronto and $178.99 in Vancouver. Mounts, walls, wires and extras cost the same everywhere, so labour is where cities differ.
How much does hiding the wires add?
Hiding wires adds $25 through an existing channel, $60 in a raceway on the wall or $99.50 inside the wall. 41% of quotes asked to hide wires, and 46% of those chose inside the wall, the most expensive of the three.
When do I pay, and can you come today?
You pay after the job, by card, e-transfer or cash. The form shows your total in about 2 minutes. Same-day service is available when we have an opening, so choose today on the form and we confirm by phone or text.
Can I use these numbers to judge another installer’s quote?
Yes, as a reference for the same lines: size, mount, wall, wires and extras. Add them from the price sheet and compare. A few dollars of difference means little, and a large gap you cannot explain is worth asking about.
