television considerations
Installing a television above a fireplace has become increasingly
popular; however, the area above any fireplace gets hot and most
TV manufacturers recommend against placing their products near
a heat source.
If you install a television above this fireplace, Empire Comfort Sys
-
tems accepts no responsibility for damage or injuries. Follow the
television manufacturer’s installation instructions, including any
recommendations regarding proximity to heat sources.
If you have a TV above your fireplace, turn off the fireplace and
let it cool completely before servicing or touching any buttons on
the TV.
