03 Mar Easter Break: The Ideal Time to Service Your Classroom AV Equipment

With schools closing on Friday 27th March and not reopening until Monday 13th April, the Easter holidays offer the longest break of the spring term and the perfect opportunity to get your classroom AV equipment professionally serviced. Whether you’re running Clevertouch interactive flatscreens, classroom projectors, audio systems or video conferencing setups, a service during Easter means everything is checked, cleaned and ready to go for the final stretch of the school year.

Supporting Irish Schools for Over 50 Years

We’ve been supporting Irish schools with professional AV equipment for over 50 years. We know that reliability isn’t a nice-to-have in the classroom it’s essential. That’s why we offer a comprehensive onsite maintenance and servicing programme designed to keep your equipment performing at its best, all year round.

Why the Easter Break Is the Best Time to Service Your Equipment

The Easter holidays give schools over two weeks of downtime – more than enough for our technicians to work through every classroom without any disruption to teaching. With the State exams approaching and the final term ahead, the last thing any school needs is a projector failing or an interactive screen playing up during revision season. A service now means your equipment is in top shape for the most important weeks of the year.

Your AV gear has been working hard since September. Dust builds up on projector filters and vents. Cables loosen. Software needs updating. Small issues that go unnoticed day-to-day can develop into bigger problems if left unchecked. An Easter service catches these issues early, saving you time, money and stress when it matters most.

What Does a Toomey AV Service Visit Include?

Our experienced technicians carry out a full onsite maintenance programme, going room by room and component by component. Here’s what you can expect:

• Interactive flatscreen health checks software updates, touch calibration, connectivity testing and screen cleaning for Clevertouch and other display brands.
• Projector servicing lamp hour checks, filter cleaning, lens cleaning, image alignment and brightness testing. We’ll flag any lamps approaching end-of-life so you can plan replacements before they fail mid-lesson.
• Audio system inspection testing speakers, amplifiers, wireless microphones and portable PA systems to ensure clear, reliable sound in classrooms, halls and GP rooms.
• Cable and connection checks verifying all HDMI, USB and wireless casting connections are secure and functioning properly.
• Video conferencing equipment checking cameras, microphones and speakers used for Zoom, Teams and hybrid learning setups.
• Detailed report after every visit, we provide a comprehensive status report on all equipment, so you have a clear picture of what’s working well and what may need attention or replacement before the new school year.

Get Exam-Ready: Don’t Let Tech Let You Down

We’ve all heard the stories: a projector lamp blows ten minutes before a revision class, or an interactive screen freezes during a lesson. With Junior Cycle and Leaving Cert exams just around the corner, these disruptions waste valuable teaching time and can be incredibly frustrating for teachers and students alike. Regular servicing dramatically reduces the likelihood of unexpected breakdowns, giving teachers the confidence that their technology will work when they need it most.

For schools that want ongoing peace of mind, we also offer annual maintenance contracts, keeping your equipment serviced in line with manufacturers’ guidelines throughout the year. This means you’re never caught off guard, and your investment in classroom technology is properly protected.

Thinking About Upgrading Your School AV?

A service visit is also the ideal time to assess whether any of your equipment is due for an upgrade. Technology moves fast, and what was cutting-edge five years ago may now be holding your school back. If your projectors are nearing end-of-life or your interactive whiteboards are showing their age, getting a clear picture now gives you time to plan and budget for upgrades over the summer.

Many schools across Ireland are making the switch from projectors and interactive whiteboards to Clevertouch interactive flatscreens with good reason. Interactive flatscreens offer 4K resolution, no costly lamp replacements, low maintenance and over 50,000 hours of use. Combined with wireless casting, built-in software and easy connectivity to any device, they’re transforming how teachers deliver lessons in classrooms nationwide.

We’re also offering a free 30-minute AV consultation for schools. Chat one-on-one with our education AV expert Jody about your classroom needs, your budget and the best path forward  no pressure, just practical advice from people who know Irish schools inside out.
