Regular AV and TV maintenance is essential for optimal performance and longevity. For most households, an annual professional inspection and service is recommended. In high-traffic environments such as offices, hotels, or schools, maintenance every six months is ideal to address wear, software updates, and potential system vulnerabilities. Routine checks identify issues early, keeping your equipment running smoothly, reducing the risk of downtime, and lowering long-term repair costs.
Be alert for audio-visual problems such as distorted sound, persistent static, volume drops, flickering or dim screens, color issues, slow input response, or equipment overheating. You might also notice random shutdowns, inconsistent wireless connections, or remote controls failing to respond. Addressing these symptoms promptly with professional maintenance helps prevent bigger failures and can preserve your equipment’s performance and value.
Yes, our AV and TV repair services extend to all brands and installations, regardless of who originally set up your system. Our experienced technicians are skilled in diagnosing, repairing, and upgrading a wide variety of setups—from standard consumer electronics to highly customized, integrated AV systems. We ensure seamless maintenance or repairs, so you benefit from optimal performance no matter how your system was installed.
We offer maintenance and repair for an extensive range of audio-visual equipment. This includes flat-screen TVs, home theaters, projectors, video conferencing systems, soundbars, amplifiers, receivers, digital signage, smart displays, surround sound systems, control processors, and integrated commercial AV setups. We stay current with modern platforms and also support hybrid systems for offices, retail, education, and hospitality.
Absolutely. Our emergency AV and TV repair service is designed for urgent needs such as critical equipment failures, power issues, loss of sound or video, or system malfunctions that impact your home or business. We respond quickly—offering same-day solutions when possible—to restore your technology and minimize disruption. Our support continues after the repair with recommendations to prevent future issues.
Typically, most TV installations are completed in 1–2 hours, depending on wall type, TV size, and any extras like cable concealment or AV integration. More complex projects or multiple TV setups may take slightly longer—but we’ll agree a timeline with you before work begins.
Yes, we specialize in tailored AV and TV maintenance plans to meet the unique needs of your equipment, environment, and usage patterns. After a full system assessment, we design a schedule that covers essential regular checks, targeted cleaning, software updates, calibration, and system optimization. Whether you have a single smart TV or a multi-location AV network, our plans maximize system reliability and value.
Our commercial AV maintenance services are trusted by a wide array of organizations, including corporate offices, retailers, hotels, restaurants, schools, healthcare facilities, sports venues, churches, and event spaces.

Our experts keep abreast of the latest updates in hardware, software, and compatibility, ensuring every system receives top-tier support.
Professional AV and TV maintenance gives you access to skilled technicians who use specialized tools for diagnostics, cleaning, and calibration. This guarantees thorough inspection, early detection of minor problems, and safe, effective repairs. Unlike DIY solutions, we ensure all software, wiring, and settings are up-to-date, which means less downtime, longer equipment lifespan, and a higher-quality entertainment or business experience.
For an efficient and safe service, clear the area around your equipment, gather relevant accessories (such as remote controls and manuals), and prepare a list of any issues or preferences you have. There’s no need for advanced preparation or troubleshooting—simply making sure we have unobstructed access allows us to properly inspect, clean, and service your AV or TV system.
Routine audio-visual equipment maintenance safeguards against dust buildup, loose connections, outdated software, and unnoticed damage—all common culprits behind poor performance and breakdowns. Regular maintenance extends the lifespan of your investment, enhances sound and picture quality, reduces energy consumption, and helps you avoid major, costly repairs.
A comprehensive AV and TV maintenance service consists of equipment cleaning, cable and connection checks, performance tests, software or firmware updates, system calibration, and reviewing environmental conditions such as ventilation or placement. We also provide personalized recommendations for upgrades or future care, ensuring your system performs at its best.
To achieve the best TV sound quality, ensure your speakers are clean and positioned properly, wires are intact, and settings are optimized for your space. Simple measures include moving speakers away from walls, using quality cables, adjusting your equalizer, and calibrating your AV receiver. For top-tier results, professional speaker placement and system tuning make a noticeable difference.
Definitely. We handle all aspects of smart TV support, including installing firmware updates, troubleshooting apps, resolving Wi-Fi and streaming issues, managing parental controls, and optimizing software settings for the fastest and most secure operation. Our proactive support keeps your smart TV up to date and fully functional.
Typical AV equipment failures stem from power surges, poor ventilation, dust, faulty connections, outdated firmware, accidental drops, and using incompatible devices or cables. Battery problems in remotes, overheating from blocked vents, or skipping regular updates can also trigger malfunctions. Keeping up with routine maintenance and responding early to anomalies can prevent most of these issues.
If you experience intermittent video or audio loss, static, flickering images, unusual color patterns, messages stating “No Signal,” or inconsistent resolutions, your HDMI cable may be at fault. We use diagnostic tools to test video and audio integrity, recommending high-speed certified cables, especially for 4K or HDR content, to support flawless signal transmission.
Absolutely. Each AV equipment upgrade is possible during a maintenance visit, from adding streaming or smart devices to expanding sound systems, improving home automation, or connecting new displays. We consult on ideal product choices, handle full integration, and ensure your system matches your latest entertainment or business requirements.
Shutdown any overheating AV or TV equipment immediately to prevent internal damage or hazards. Check for blocked vents, excessive dust, or closely-stacked devices, and let the systems cool. Persistent overheating signals the need for professional cleaning, internal fan checks, or hardware updates to guarantee safe and reliable operation.
The average AV maintenance visit for a standard residential system generally lasts one to one-and-a-half hours. More complex setups—such as whole-house audio, conference rooms, or commercial venues—may take longer, depending on the scale and number of devices. We value your time and always communicate the expected service duration in advance.
Yes, we provide remote AV troubleshooting for a wide range of minor issues—such as smart TV setup, device pairing, or software updates. By guiding you through real-time diagnostics, we can often resolve problems without the need for an on-site visit, saving you time and restoring functionality faster.
Trust is earned, and at LMS AV, we’re proud to have built ours one successful project at a time. Our testimonials reflect our commitment to excellence.
