TV Mounting in Orem
Orem is full of houses where the builder framed the great room around a fireplace and then everybody put the TV above it — I see it constantly in the newer developments off 800 North and up toward the Suncrest and Cascade Heights side of town. That over-fireplace spot is the trickiest mount there is: heat rising off a gas insert, a tall viewing angle that wrecks your neck, and usually a masonry or tile face that a cheap bracket won't hold. I use a tilting or full-motion mount so you can pull the screen down and out to eye level, and I check the surface temp above the firebox before I trust any adhesive or anchor near it.
If you're in one of the newer builds up by the Orem/Lindon line or in a Family Utah HOA neighborhood, tell me if the HOA restricts exterior wall penetrations — it changes how I route wiring on shared or outside walls.
