The heat from a fireplace can ruin a tv long term. So don't hang a tv worth a damn up there.

The mounting part will be easy.


It's posts like this that remind me that I'd really hate to be in the residential insurance business.

If you spend $200 dollars on a wireless receiver you won't have a need for any cables.

People with little or no experience mounting heavy things and running potentially combustible materials around ignition sources for two.

TVs are very light nowadays

How often do people actually turn on fireplace in SE Louisiana?

TV's aren't very heavy and I've done it before no problem. What materials are combustible, the cables? And the ignition source is contained inside the chimney pipe/flue correct?

What are your thoughts if the cables are run inside fire/heat resistant conduit? Appreciate your input.

thats why i sent that last link. make sure you know everything that is back there. if its lined that should contain some heat. I wouldn't put on on a fireplace just because its not my preference. seems like a unwarranted risk

I wouldn't personally mount a TV above a fireplace, there's the heat issue coming from the FP (even though it's not used often) and the eyeline for viewing is not good.

If that's the only place to mount it, then I'd go all the way through the brick and out the back (if possible).

Here's a thread on the subject from "diy":

Good luck
