How To Hide TV Power Cord And Cables | Easy Way To Move An Outlet

I will walk through the ste-by-step process of moving an outlet to the back of your wall-mounted TV. The kicker is we will make it so you don't have to do any drywall repair or painting. Additionally, all the work will be completed in the room and you won't be going up in the attic or down in the basement.

I am a contractor with over 30 years of experience in multiple trades, and I just wanted to compliment you on your very nicely demonstrated procedure. You articulate very well and your information is "refreshingly accurate"..a real benefit to people who would consult such videos of guidance on how to do something themselves, particularly if they have little or no experience at "do-it- yourself" tasks.

Thank you, and Cheers to you, my friend!

Excellent video & workmanship. In my 50+ years as electrician, I:ve done thousands of similar installs & you layout the work perfectly.

I have been watching youtube for over 20 years this is a great demonstration on how to add an outlet

construction all my life. I'm 69 years old. done a lot of electrical. never would of thought of that nor never seen it. That was cool as hell

I was thinking there is no way you can do this without ripping up the wall. And you did it. I am stunned 😳

I'm a 35 year electrician and this video shows an excellent example of how to add an electrical outlet behind a TV. Very well done!

This was one of the most complete and learnable video ever on youtube i have seen

[ScrewballMcAdams]

Your videos are always so informative, Scott. You not only show HOW to do the project but you also show WHAT tools work best to minimize my aggravation as a DIYer. Thanks so much.

I wish you would’ve shown the part most important to me…how you got the new Romex to the original outlet once you ran it through the two studs.

Great video! One tip as a painter I can offer is use “painters putty” in place of caulk for the nail holes.

[dwaineruthannarmentrout]

I appreciate you highlighting all of the tools you use and the links where to buy them. Nothing is more frustrating than seeing a great video but not knowing where the buy the necessary tools to make the job easier. Another great video Scott.

Great video. I recommend fishing the Romex through the original outlet first. Push all the Romex through the outlet, the studs, then using a line to pull it up to the new outlet hole. This saves the effort of blindly pushing the Romex into the original outlet.

Scott as a first time homeowner I have to say you have inspired and taught me so much. This is something I have done in my home and family members as well. Excellent video and channel!

[jozsefizsak]

That's fantastic! It just didn't occur to me that pulling off the baseboard was the way to hide the rework. Much appreciated. 😊

[leebarker]

Beautifully filmed and edited; it's all business, no cutesy stuff. Excellent educational standards. I am subscribed!

[just_breathe]

You are a wonderful teacher! I knew almost nothing about electrical aspects & after your clear, ego-less explanation, I know I could do this. Thanks!

Industrial electrician here...find myself doing stuff like this in retirement...great tip.

This is a nice project for a DiY homeowner. A few things to remember:
(1) always be careful where you lay your tools. Drill bits can get very hot. If you have carpet and lay the bit down after use, it might melt your carpet or burn your hard wood
(2) this project applies best to interior walls that tend to have empty wall cavities. If your TV is on an outside wall, it will be full of insulation which could make a mess or make fishing the wire in the wall much more difficult.
(3) be sure to watch his other videos that show how to properly install a receptacle. The one he pulled out of the wall was NOT installed to code and should not be used as an example of a properly installed receptacle. He fixed the problems when reinstalling it.
