Chris was great beyond what I could've imagined. He showed up early, on short notice, was able to figure out a better way for our set up and completed it in little time. Highly recommended, very knowledgeable, and very polite.

Why hire a projector installation specialist through Airtasker?

Getting your projector and screen installed usually means waiting for a guy from the store to stop by and do it for you or learning to do it yourself (thanks, Wikihow and Youtube). But what if we told you that these aren’t the only ways to get your home theatre up and running? That there’s a way that’s more reliable and affordable than the appliance store installer and safer than a DIY job?

On our platform, you can book a trusted projector specialist in minutes and have your appointment ASAP! First, select the “Post a task” button on this page. Specify your request - the type of projector you have, the size of your screen and the room you want to put it in, your location, budget, and desired appointment date. Once you’re done filling out the form, tap “Get quotes” and wait for offers.

Take your pick based on the Taskers’ rates and customer reviews. When you’re ready, tap to confirm your appointment, and voila! You’re all set. Ready to complete your projector setup? Book a Tasker near you today!

Top Projector Installation related questions

No, you don’t have to provide any tools or equipment. When you book on our platform, your chosen installer arrives with all the necessary tools (and skills) for setting up your home cinema screen. All you need to do is point to the projector, the screen, and where you want everything mounted. Your Tasker then takes care of everything else. 

A projector fitting service usually takes 2-6 hours, depending on whether the cables need to be built into the wall. To get an estimate for your particular project, we recommend that you ask your Tasker. Once they assess the components you have and your space, they’ll be able to give a more accurate timeline for the installation work.

You can request a Tasker specifically for mounting your speakers, but they may require another handyman for a massive set-up. If you want one person to take care of your entire home theatre system installation, you can specify these requests in your task post. Of course, prospective Taskers will give you a rate that corresponds to the needed amount of work.

The answer depends on the size of your screen and the throw distance of your projector. For example, a 220 cm (87 inch) screen plus a projector with a throw distance of 1.3 means that the projector should be 87 x 1.3 = 113 inches (287 cm) away from the screen. Measure this distance from the center of the projector’s lens straight to the screen.

No - but only if the projector has a horizontal lens shift range that can adjust the image’s placement on the screen. Otherwise, we advise that you center your projector by aligning the lens with the horizontal center of your screen. If certain limitations make it hard to do this, feel free to consult a projector installer or tech support specialist near you.

Our platform is your go-to place for trusted projector screen installation services near you. Here, you can find a rated, reviewed, and budget-friendly specialist in your area. In just a few minutes, you can go from posting a request and poring through offers to booking an appointment. To start booking a projector installer near you, tap the “Post a task” button on this page.

What does a projector installation service include?

Our projector installation service covers pretty much everything you’d expect in a handyman or installation service: equipment, set-up, and testing. Though the details may vary from Tasker to Tasker, you can pretty much expect the standard inclusions, such as: 

Home theatre projector placement

First, your Tasker needs to pick a spot for your projector. This depends on the size of the projection and your room or home cinema. If your projector can be mounted to the ceiling, your Tasker may suggest it so that it doesn’t block the seats.  

The goal is to provide the best possible experience for you, your family, and your guests. If you’re using a fixed installation projector, make sure you’re happy with its placement in your home theatre.

Screen set-up

If you decide to put up a screen instead of just projecting onto a wall, your Tasker will also take care of this. Screens are recommended for a better viewing experience since they produce a better image than a blank wall.  

AV projector installation

Whether you plan to set up the projector on a table or up on the ceiling, the picture must show up properly on the wall or screen. Your Tasker may test this a couple of times, after which they’ll confirm that you’re happy with the positioning. Then, they’ll fix the projector onto its mount or bracket (for ceiling-mounted ones) or mark the spot on the table and floor.  

Once the projector is installed, your Tasker connects it to the source - your cable box, gaming console, DVD player, and so on. If necessary, they’ll conceal the wires running along the floor, walls, or ceiling. 

Testing the projector

Once the projector is installed, the Tasker projects an alignment image. This ensures that the projector and screen locations are aligned and that there’s no need for further adjustments.

Afterward, your specialist may do a simple run-through of your projector’s features to ensure it works correctly. This step includes checking on wireless transmission, correcting the image shape and saturation, etc. 

When you and your Tasker are 100% satisfied with the image quality and the home theatre experience, your Tasker packs up and goes on their way. You’re now free to pop some popcorn, order some takeout, and enjoy your brand-new home cinema!
