Northwest Hills is one of Austin’s most established and quietly refined neighborhoods — tucked between MoPac and Loop 360, it’s known for its large wooded lots, well-kept homes, and residents who have been in Austin long enough to know exactly what they want. Many of the homes here were built in the 1970s and 80s and have been thoughtfully updated over the years. When a Northwest Hills homeowner called Bat City TV to mount their new 65-inch TV, the ask was simple: get it on the wall, hide the power cord inside the wall, and leave nothing behind but a clean finished look. Simple ask — satisfying result.
The install was a 65-inch TV on a standard drywall wall with in-wall power routed through the wall cavity using a UL-listed in-wall power kit. We located the studs behind the drywall, confirmed solid anchor points, and mounted the TV bracket for a level, secure hold. From there we fished the power cable down through the wall, installed recessed outlet plates at both the top entry and bottom exit points, and connected everything cleanly. No cords on the wall. No power strip on the floor. The TV sits flush, powers up cleanly, and the wall behind it looks exactly as it did before — just with a 65-inch display centered on it.
One question we hear often in Northwest Hills and similar established neighborhoods is whether in-wall power is safe in older homes. The answer is yes — when done correctly with the right materials. We use only UL-listed in-wall rated power kits that are specifically designed and approved for installation inside wall cavities. These are not extension cords. They are purpose-built for this application, meet electrical safety standards, and are the professional standard for TV installations across the industry. We also check for insulation, fire blocking, and any obstructions before we cut, so there are no surprises mid-job and no damage to the wall or wiring.
In-wall power is a popular standalone add-on, but it pairs naturally with other upgrades too — in-wall HDMI routing keeps cable boxes, streaming sticks, and gaming console connections just as clean as the power run. Many Northwest Hills homeowners we work with also ask about soundbar mounting, which we handle in the same visit. And if you’re thinking about upgrading the TV itself, Bat City TV is an authorized dealer for Samsung, LG, and Sony — we can sell you the right display, deliver it, and handle the full installation so you never have to wrestle a 65-inch box out of your car. Neighboring areas like Great Hills, Allandale, and the Arboretum corridor are all part of our regular service area.
