Trusted by Gungahlin households since 1981
Palmers TV is Canberra's family-owned AV and smart-home installer — three generations, founded 1981, and licensed for the work (ACT SEC LIC 17502783, NSW SEC LIC 000108288). We've been installing TV installation in Gungahlin and the surrounding North Canberra for over 45 years.
Most Gungahlin TV installs we do are 65–75 inch wall mounts in open-plan living rooms with Hebel external walls and timber-stud internal partitions. The Hebel needs the right anchor and the open-plan layout often calls for either a full-motion bracket (so the TV swings to face the kitchen) or a thoughtful soundbar set-up so dialogue still cuts through over the rangehood. We've done dozens of these along Hibberson Street, around Casey common and through the newer Throsby and Taylor estates.
What a proper TV install actually involves
A clean TV install is the part most people only notice when it's done badly — TV not at seated eye height, cables draped down the wall, soundbar handshake never set up, picture mode left on the over-bright showroom default. Our team does it the way we'd want it in our own homes: bracket chosen for the room, centre of screen sitting at the right height for your couch, cables run inside the wall cavity where the construction allows, free-to-air tuning and streaming sign-in completed before we leave.

How a Gungahlin TV install runs end-to-end
- Free in-home consultation. We measure the wall, check the cavity construction, and confirm the right bracket type — fixed, tilt, full-motion, recessed, or above-fireplace.
- Fixed-price quote. Bracket, cable runs, recessed GPO if needed, streaming sign-in, free-to-air tune — every line item written down before any work starts.
- Install day. SMS arrival window the day before, drop sheets down, position sign-off from your couch before we drill, mount and cable in 60–120 minutes for a standard single-room job.
- Hand-over. Picture-mode calibration, remote walk-through, written workmanship warranty emailed within 24 hours.
Samsung, Sony, LG and Hisense TVs on the screen side. Brackets from Sanus, Vogel's and Atdec for residential, with weatherproof outdoor brackets where the alfresco actually needs them. We don't push a particular brand — the bracket and bracket type get chosen for the wall construction and your viewing position.

Frequently asked — Gungahlin TV installs
How much is a standard TV wall mount in Gungahlin?
Standard wall mount with cable concealment in Gungahlin starts from $250 — fixed-price after a free in-home site survey, subject to standard conditions and the wall construction we confirm on the day.
Can you mount on Hebel or double-brick walls in Gungahlin?
Yes — most ACT homes are one or the other. We carry SDS masonry drills, Hebel-specific anchors, and conventional plasterboard kits. Wall type is confirmed during the site survey and the correct anchor system is included in the fixed-price quote.
Do you set up the streaming apps and free-to-air tuning?
Yes. Every standard install includes a free-to-air auto-tune, Wi-Fi connection, and streaming sign-in on the major apps if you have your credentials. We also run a basic picture-mode calibration so the screen isn't running the over-bright showroom default.
How quickly can you get to a TV install in Gungahlin?
Most weeks we can book a standard Gungahlin install within 7–10 days. Larger jobs (multi-room, fireplace, recessed mounts) typically need a site survey first and then 2–3 weeks lead time.
Do I need to buy the bracket myself?
No. The bracket is supplied as part of the install — we pick the right bracket type (fixed, tilt, full-motion, recessed or weatherproof) for your wall and room layout based on what we confirm at the site survey.
