Need help mounting a flat-screen television.

Does anyone have recommendations for someone to mount a large (52″) flat screen television?  I have the television and the bracket/articulating arm, but not the know-how to securely attach both to the wall.  Should I call the Geek Squad or a service like Today’s Handyman or…?  Any feedback is appreciated!

Also, if you are going to put the wires behind the wall I recommend buying a product called Powerbridge. The TV’s power cord isn’t fire-rated so you would normally need to hire an electrician to install an outlet behind the TV. You don’t need to install an outlet if you install powerbridge and it costs about $35.
