FLAT TV Panel hidding cords


I have a SAMSUNG LED mounted VERY close to the wall all wires run thru wall. ALL codes say run electical wire outside(leaving one cable hanging down or move electrical box up behind TV. I am not a electrican but do not see what 3'of tv cord would really cause wires to get hot, Opinions?

A power cord could not easily be inspected for age deterioration or what ever if concealed inside a wall. It is a safety issue. Power cords shall not be run through wall or be concealed in walls, NEC.

Hire an electrician to install an outlet behind the SAMSUNG LED TV. If there is an existing outlet below the location of the new one the cost will be minimal. That is providing the wall is made of studs and drywall. Probably about an hour and a half labor tops.

Work is slow right now, the electrician could use the work.
If your afraid use a short piece of Romex and put a female receptacle on the TV end, plug the TV power cord into it. Run it inside the wall and put a male plug on the other end and plug it in the the outlet. I wouldn't be concerned about running the original power cord inside the wall though. As long as it is of sufficient size it won't overheat.

Vernneal, You posted on my thread about mounting a flat screen above the fire place.

Looks like you're working through the same problems. Which Samsung did you go with? Did you buy a regular mount or one of those fancy motorized jobs?
