Who do I call to install cable inside of a wall?

We need the cable moved out of the floor (the typical way it's installed) and moved to a wall jack. We've tried to ask our cable company to do it, but they only have a few technicians who know how to, and others are just trained for the standard way.
Do I need to call technicians who are of TV installation, electricians, or?
Thanks!

For some reason my post did not take. But R Adam is correct or there are folks that simply just do this type of work. Low voltage contractors. Expect to pay about $100 for the service plus parts.

Another option would be to call your local vocational school. They use small projects like this to train their students, and perform work at a low cost.

Electrician is most likely your best bet and are able to put it in conduit. In case anything ever happened during storm seasons and it had to be replaced

I did it myself. Pulled it down then ran it back up where I wanted it. Bored a hole in the wall after buying the plate from Lowe's and voila! Of course six months later, I changed my mind, pulled it out, moved it back up the floor, patched the wall and there it's stayed!

I would leave it where it is and have another one installed. Wont cost you more and maybe one day you will need to use the first one. Monique

Is that also for phone jacks that some of still have that type of phone and electric plugs outlets. Fine in basement but need more plug outlets upstairs and need a couple of phone jacks in 3 other rooms. I am in Canada so might be different in other places. Hard to get job done without big cost.

I work for a cable co. You definitely need a electrician. Preferably licensed. It won't be cheap. Call around for estimates
