If you have a TV mounted on your wall (or want to put one up) you probably want to figure out how to hide the TV cables in the wall. Most people don’t realize that if you just cut a hole in your wall and run power cables through it then your setup is not up to most electrical codes in the US. Using a recessed wall plate with a power outlet helps you get around this. Clean up your clutter and beautify your home by doing things right the first time. This also adds value to your home (and you won’t have to worry about failing an inspection if you ever sell your home).
