Apple HomeView Installation
Jersey City, Hoboken & Essex County, NJ

The clean way to hang a HomeView is the AC Wired mount on a powered box in the wall. That is electrical work. We wire it to code, pull the permit when one is needed, and leave you with a flush screen and no cord.

Send a photo of the wall and the nearest outlet. We’ll tell you which mount fits and what it costs.

What HomeView Installation Costs

Prices for the AC Wired mount, from real jobs in Hudson and Essex County homes. What is behind your wall decides which one applies.

$150–$300

Power is already at the spot

There is a box or outlet with power right where the screen is going. We fit the AC Wired mount to it and hang the display.

$400–$600

New line from a nearby circuit

We fish a new line through the finished wall from a nearby circuit and set a single-gang box at the height you want.

$600–$1,000+

New circuit or difficult access

A dedicated circuit from the panel, or tough access such as plaster walls, multiple floors, or no attic or basement access. Permit fees and any drywall repair are extra.

The mount and the display are bought separately from Apple. PoE installs run roughly $150–$400 per Ethernet run, plus $100–$250 for a PoE switch if you don’t have one.

Which Mount Should You Buy?

The wall-mounted HomeView needs one of three power mounts. Buy the mount that suits the wall before you book the install.

AC Wired

$79.95
Licensed electrician

Most homeowners. Runs on house power from a single-gang box, sits flush, no visible cord.

Apple HomeView Installation FAQs

Which Apple HomeView wall mount should I buy?+
For most homeowners, the AC Wired mount. It connects to your existing home power, fits a standard single-gang box and sits flush with no visible cord. The USB-C Wall Connector is the easy do-it-yourself option if you don’t mind a visible cable. The PoE mount makes sense if your home already has Ethernet or the walls are open.
How much does Apple HomeView installation cost in New Jersey?+
For the AC Wired mount: about $150–$300 when there is already power at the spot, about $400–$600 when we fish a new line from a nearby circuit, and $600–$1,000 or more for a new circuit from the panel or difficult access, plus permit fees and any drywall repair. For the PoE mount, roughly $150–$400 per Ethernet run, plus $100–$250 for a PoE switch if you don’t have one. Your quote depends on what is behind the wall.
Do I need a permit to install a HomeView wall mount in NJ?+
For the AC Wired mount, often yes. In New Jersey, adding a new box or circuit generally needs an electrical permit, and the town’s electrical inspector signs off on the work. We pull the permit as part of the job. Plugging the USB-C mount into an existing outlet, and low-voltage PoE work, generally don’t involve new line-voltage wiring at the wall.
My HomeView hasn’t arrived yet. Can you wire the wall now?+
Yes. We can set the powered single-gang box at the spot now, so the mount and display go up as soon as they arrive. If you are renovating, this is also the cheapest time to add an Ethernet run for the PoE mount, while the walls are open.
Can you install HomeView in a condo or co-op?+
Yes. Check with your HOA or building management first and confirm their requirements for licensed work and access. We work in Jersey City and Hoboken condo buildings regularly and can provide our license and insurance documents to the building.
Can I move the tabletop HomeView onto the wall later?+
No. Apple sells a tabletop version and a wall-mounted version at the same price, and they are not interchangeable, so decide before you order. The wall-mounted version needs one of the three power mounts.
