    Original system installed 17 years ago and no problems. Upgraded to have some new features recently. Installation technicial was professional, on time, and did good quality work. Due to age of our system and house pre-wired design, he encountered challenges but came up with good solutions. Monthly service is great as well.

    We’ve had ADT since we first had our home built 14 years ago. I like the system itself, although we’ve never had to utilize any of the features of it. Also, if we’ve had an alarm go off, we’ve always been contacted right away. Just the other day, I was trying to figure out where one of my little batteries was. I called and they helped me with that. The reps were very polite, very respectful and helpful. ADT's system is easy to use and we’re very satisfied with them. I would highly recommend them to my friends.

    I previously had ADT in my other house and now I have them in this house. So far, their service has been excellent. I have a wireless system with them and the installer was a wonderful and very nice person. We had two spells due to the weather and he was very accommodating. He also got the flu, plus the video and ring door were on backorder. But he finally got everything installed the Saturday before last.

    After the installation, I noticed that ADT keeps on sending alert messages to my email and I never set that up like that. But I got a call the other day about a burglary on my house so I knew they were calling the phone number. But I have to sit down, call them, and update that information. Also, I had to put the power source for my cameras in a very obvious location and when my electrician hired some day laborers, they unplugged it and stole some items out of the house. My cameras didn't catch them going out the front door. But if I had a landline, they would never have been able to unhook anything.

    ADT is fantastic. And the banks have them around here. So if it's good for them, then they are good enough for me. We have motion detectors included with our package. And I got my system hardwired here, too. It’s an older deal. ADT's sales representatives are excellent. If my alarm goes off, they call within seconds. Although the installers were great at first, we had a little problem here and there. I had a motion detector downstairs and it was going off all the time. So we moved it and it was still going off. I wanted it put back in but the people from ADT never did it. That was two years ago and I don't even bother calling anymore.

    Also, they said my system was obsolete and I have to go with the digital instead of the hardwired. Now, I changed everything to digital in the house but I still got hardwired. So if somebody cuts my phone, they’ll come right to me on my cell phone. I would like to have another sensor but I don't want to spend the money and I didn't want to be bothered with it. So I just left it the way it was. Still, ADT got to be doing well since everybody in my neighborhood has them. I got five people set up right in my area, and they’re all right here within 10 houses.

    Think long and hard before signing a contract with ADT. In 2016 I signed with ADT because the property that I had move into had a pre-existing alarm system from ADT. They replaced the batteries for the system and it was up and running. Within a month I started getting a fault on one of the door sensors, no biggie check the door reset all good for a while, but the sensor continued to fault more and more. you would think they would follow on that.

    Here is the rub, ADT only makes appointments during the week from 8 am to 5 pm and Saturdays by special arrangement. Even though I had repeated faults on the same sensor including a false alarm that brought the police to my home while I was at work ADT never investigated the repeated faults. Pitiful waste of the police's valuable assets. After the false alarm involving a police response a result of ADT hanging up on me because I couldn't give them my password while I was operating a motor yacht for my employer. I find out later that the ADT agent should have asked me two questions to verify my identity, but instead just hung up.

    Now I can't get a technician to the house to repair my system because of their hours and Saturday appointments are booked three weeks out leaving my home unprotected now for well over a month. What is up ADT not enough technicians? All the while I'm making payments for service that doesn't work because of their faulty equipment. Hey how about letting me out of my contract because of ADT failure to provide timely service which is part of the contract. No way says the manager after hours of being on hold on several occasions. Only way out is to pay them the last year of the three year contract over 300 dollars!

    So I agree to wait two weeks and tell my employer that he won't have a Captain on Saturday morning Easter weekend so I can let the ADT tech in to repair my system before I leave home for two months for my employer's cruise. Risk my Home, Risk my Job, Thanks a lot ADT. Well guess ADT is a no show for that appointment. Called ADT after another 30 minutes and three transfers they tell me their record shows an appointment on April 7th. Strange I would make an appointment when I know I will be at sea?

    Home unprotected, faulty equipment, bad customer service, lame hours for technical response. Pretty sure most folks will be at work during ADT service hours, best time for the alarm to be working too! Burglars! if there is an ADT sign there is a good chance the system is not working due to lack of service like mine. I even offered to pay them off just to be rid of them. Instead the account manager conned me into scheduling the appointment the next Saturday the appointment that they never showed up for. If all these thing don't add up to breach of trust for an alarm company I would wonder what would. ADT brags about how good they are over and over again while you're on hold as they string you along with what amounts to service exactly opposite to what you would expect. ADT think about it.

    We have motion sensors, doors, windows and a glass break system for monitoring. ADT bought the security company that we were using. Now, our system does what we need it too. We are still looking to make upgrades but ADT has done what we asked them to do. We had a remodeling done and it was wicked expensive to get the modification done for that. Their team had to come out when we were doing the kitchen and the remodelers knocked some wires off. It was also expensive to get ADT to come out and repair those. Still, we've been okay.

    We became an ADT customer when our home was broken into about 20 years ago. Early years were fine. When we moved and reconnected it was fine. In the last 6 years, not so much. We received new phone service and for about 3 years after we were under the false pretense that ADT was monitoring our home. Our home was robbed and though the alarm sounded and scared off the thief (after he stole a flat screen) We thought it was odd that ADT never called. So we called them to discover they didn't have a signal coming from our home. We had been paying for service for THREE YEARS without a signal coming from our home! $35 a month. That's over $1,300. No refund.

    From that point forward we tested the signal several times and then PAID them to check our signal every month. 6 mos ago we started a remodeling project so discontinued service temporarily. They still charged us $14 a month to hold the service. (What?) When it was time to turn service back on and re-install a keypad in our kitchen we called for service. An unidentified ADT worker showed up at the house who was rude and snappy and clearly didn't want to be here or talk with a woman. He said he didn't know he had to install a keypad, said we needed to speak with sales, because he couldn't do anything for us without the right order form (No customer service. "Let me get someone on the phone and let's get this figured out." Not.).

    I called the local sales person who was lovely (Quinton) and was starting to go down the path of setting service back up when my husband and I decided we had had enough. So we called today to end our service. And they tell us they have to turn the service back on for 30 days to end it and charge us $30. Are you kidding me? We don't have service turned on anyway and they want to charge us $30 to turn it off. It's laughable! It's not about the $30 dollars, it is about their inability to listen to the customer, care about the customer, attempt to understand the customer and honor the customer.

    On two occasions I called attempting to end my service, I literally begged them to record my conversation and share it with the customer service manager. The service is horrible. I'm in the customer relations business. They've done everything to get rid of me and then want to hit me in the gut on the way out the door. I will never do business with ADT again. And I really hope others read this and hear me, so they don't sign up with a company so selfish and unreasonable. There. I've said my piece.

    Response from ADT

    Good Afternoon,

    We thank you for reaching out, Valissa. We want to stress to you that we truly appreciate and value your tenure with us.

    ADT sympathizes with you and reciprocate your frustrations, for the recent events that have transpired. We strive to provide the best possible service and it is important for us to know when you feel that we have not met your expectations.

    When communication trouble occurs, the system is unable to "communicate" with ADT. It sends signals, but they cannot reach us, due to the error it is experiencing. ADT will monitor for and respond to any signals the system reports to us; this is why ADT does require that the customer test their system, at least, once a month. Failure in doing so may result in extended communication loss, which we would not be liable for.

    Testing the system is a simple process that ADT does not charge additionally for. Upon review, I am not seeing you paid to test your system with ADT monthly, as you had stated.

    With regards to the remodel that you have referenced, I see that you called in November, 2017 to notify ADT of this process. You had the option to discontinue the services altogether at this time, but you requested to keep the account open. Since ADT cannot pause services, your monthly monitoring rate was reduced to $14.99 for 6 months, as a courtesy.

    We again apologize for your experience and your interaction with the service technician on January 18th. We will ensure that this interaction is reviewed and addressed.

    With regards to your decision to discontinue your ADT services, we are very sorry to learn of this. Please be advised that we have reviewed your cancellation request and show that it was processed with an effective date of 3/30/2018; the date you called in on. While ADT does require 30 days' notice on all cancellation requests, it appears that this was waived for you as a courtesy.

    If we may be of greater assistance reviewing your concerns, please be encouraged to message us directly here. ~Tréchell

    I've had ADT for the past 2.5 years and had been content with the service until this past month. On March 2, 2017 we had a big wind storm that knocked out the power for over 2 days. Our whole-house generator came on, but after it was on for about 24 hours it set off the carbon monoxide detector at 3am. Although my ADT panel was connected to the generator, the alarm didn't go through to ADT (even though I could see it on the panel) because the phone lines and wifi were still down. That's fine-- we were grateful that the CO alarm had gone off and took care of everything. The next day the panel still showed a yellow "trouble" light. The phone lines were still down, so I called ADT on my cell phone and told them about the CO alarm going off and about the light. I was told that the light would go away once the phone lines were working again.

    Eventually the phone lines came back but the yellow light didn't go away. I should have called and told ADT, but life was busy and I never thought it would cause me the trouble that it caused me. A week later at 3 am I get a call from ADT telling me that my CO detector is going off and that they are sending the fire department. I get out of bed and look at my CO detector and panel-- the alarm is definitely not going off and has not gone off (you can tell on the panel if an alarm has gone off) and the panel looks exactly like it did before I went to bed except that the yellow trouble light is now gone. I explained to the woman on the phone that my alarm wasn't going off and about what had happened the previous week and that the trouble signal from the previous week must have finally come through, and asked if she could cancel the fire dept. She said that it was a life-safety issue, so she could not cancel the fire dept.

    I asked to speak with a supervisor and was transferred to one. I explained the whole story to him, only to hear that it was a life-safety issue, couldn't be canceled, and to have him tell me that "Carbon monoxide is tasteless, odorless, and colorless" as though I were some sort of fool who was ignoring a legitimate CO alarm in her home. I asked to be transferred to a supervisor but he insisted that none were available. So I got nowhere with him and had to wait for the fire department to come out at 3:00am so that I could tell them that my alarm was not going off and that ADT had completely wasted their time. I don't so much mind my time getting wasted, but it is NOT ok to waste the time of the fire department, which may have a legitimate emergency to respond to. I live in the country, so it's at least a 20-30 minute drive for the fire dept to get to my house, and then they have to drive all the way back.

    I was still angry the next morning, so I called ADT again and explained the situation; I was transferred to a man and explained the whole situation again. He pretty much had the same response as the original supervisor I talked to so I asked his name and it turns out it was the same guy, who never bothered to tell me it was him until I said "aren't you the same guy?" I called again later and spoke to a woman who said she was from HQ and that she would review the tapes and get back to the employee if anything was done incorrectly. I don't know if the employees are misinterpreting the company policy or of the policy just doesn't tell them what to do if they're getting an alarm signal but the alarm isn't actually going off in a person's house.

    I feel that I had a perfectly reasonable explanation for what was happening and should have been listened to and the fire department's time should not have been wasted. I take CO very seriously and would never hesitate to have the fire dept come if my alarm was actually going off, but in this situation it was just a waste of resources. ADT should have a little more respect for their client's intelligence and ability to determine if they're actually in danger.

    About four years ago, we had an incident on the street. A house was about to be broken into and the owner chased the guy who was trying to break in and got hurt and ended up in the hospital. Then we had a neighborhood meeting and in that meeting, ADT came with information and gave it to the neighbors. We got the alarm set, so they are monitoring the house. We got the security system, which is wireless. And with that system comes the fire and smoke detector. It was fine with the person who installed the sensors and the equipment.

    And the system has been fine. If I fry and get the kitchen, the stove too hot, there with the pan, and then the alarm goes off and there's smoke, it's immediate, they call. They also do it if they notice that something is not right with the equipment and they call to alert us that there might be a battery problem error. And then we check everything until we decide. When we needed, they come over to look at it. Recently, I think last year, they changed the equipment. They changed it to a Honeywell equipment. They changed to a different device there because it had to do with communication where something that were necessary to do. Plus the battery was getting old. ADT is professional and does a good job and do what they are saying they're going to do. So we're happy with that. I would recommend them.

    I spent a lot. A lot on a system, installation and monthly monitoring by an ADT partner, DEFENDERS, INC. d/b/a PROTECT YOUR HOME. We had the monthly monitoring service for a few years, but decided not to renew when the contract expired about two years ago. My obligation was paid as agreed and in full. Should be the end of the story, but Defenders decided to charge me $25 recently. Since I do not have service with them nor have had any for over 2 years, I contacted Wells Fargo and have them reverse the charge, which they did after making contact with Defenders. What's worse, and much worse, is that Defenders decided to contract a collection agency by the name of McCarthy, Burgess & Wolff - oh, and get this, to collect $419.85. Of course I immediately contacted the collection agency and they are contacting Defenders to require that they support their claim.

    Of course Defenders will not be able to do so, but who knows where this will head. Yes, of course I will contact the Better Business Bureau, Consumer Affairs, and file a complaint and review on ADT's website. This is precisely the way that consumers experience very harmful reports to all 3 credit bureaus. If that happens I will then have to pursue Court action to recover from some very harmful tactics on the part of a company that professes to "protect" you. My advice from this experience is to stay clear, very clear, of a company like this.

Then when we agreed to install ADT I was told we would be charged for April and a prorated amount for March. That again was untrue. I reviewed my bank statement and realized I was not charged what I was told. I called what they say is customer service and after being talked to VERY RUDE had to be put back on hold and spoke to someone else to find out that they charge the higher monthly rate.

    ADT has been my alarm company for probably since I bought my home, which was over 20 years ago. Service is good and we have no issues with the hardware included in our package. I didn’t realize it, but I actually have a service contract with them because obviously I'm paying extra for that. But when I've had replaced the door, they came out and everything they did was covered under my service plan so I didn’t have to pay for any extra. That part was great. Also, everybody has treated me fine in all the interactions I've had with people from ADT. Other than the email I got one time that my sister was unable to run a self test, everything is good.

    The ADT at mine home lost communication last Saturday when I was away from home. The entire Sunday I was away and ADT didn't have any communication with the device and hence no security at home. No one from ADT contacted me to inform. Then when I came back on Sunday evening and called ADT they just said it's a temporary problem and asked me to press some code to supposedly fix the issue. The issue recurred again and now I had to pay $25 for a supposed trip visit from a ADT technician. On top of that the guy can only come on office hours so I had to stay back at home. Instead of ADT compensating for loss of security they charged me. The technician came and again gave a story of missing programming, took away $25 and practically didn't fix anything.

    This got proved because the very same night the communications again failed. So again I had to call and again ADT sends somebody only at office hours and made me sit at home supposedly to fix the issue. The technician supposedly replaced the radio and himself said this probably won't fix the issue but did that anyhow as supposedly his tech support team asked him to do so. Then ADT worked for a couple of days and again the communication failure started on Saturday night. So now when I call the customer support says that they are redirecting to local support.

    Again another person will come on a weekday, I will lose my work day and ADT will supposedly fix something temporarily. All this while I have to supposedly pay for a non-existent service. They not only charge me but also doesn't compensate me anyhow for all the loss of security and the loss of work. I am supposedly keep on hold of ADT because I have a three year contract of a non-existent security and I can't go out of. Why would I pay for something which doesn't provide any solution and also why would I keep on hold of ADT. This is extremely unfair and I am on the verge of taking legal action against ADT.

Half of the people on my block have come over to see how we were handling the security system and if it was working. My husband was the one who communicated with the reps if there was a problem or situation, but I don’t think there has ever been a problem. The installers cleaned up after themselves very well and they double-checked. I'm one of those people who don’t like the noise and having to check the system.

    I had my smoke detector go off 2 times within 6 weeks. The first time they explained it was probably battery needing to be replaced if there was power outage and we did have loss of power from Irma. So I replaced with a brand new battery. Then I get a second call about smoke detector going off. Both times the fire department was dispatched.

    The first time this happened I had a friend meet the fire department at the house as I work approximately 30 miles from home. The second time I had to leave work and get home as soon as I could possibly get there as the fire department was waiting. Both times were false alarms but the fire department suggested that I contact ADT as there was probably an issue with the detector. I called and got the run around about a service order and getting someone out either after 5:30 or on a Saturday as I work. To date I still haven't heard anything back from ADT. I am seriously considering changing services once I have time off from work and can meet with different companies. Your prices go up and you are unwilling to accommodate your customers.

I spoke with service representative Chris at ** about the type of services the company can provide. Chris gave a quote of $27.99. I didn't agree to purchase yet. I wanted for them to send a service rep to verify if their system would be compatible with the house since it was pre-wired for an alarm system. We schedule the free consultation for 06 March 2018 from 8:00 to 9:00 am. My wife was at the property. The representative arrived at the property and started to install the system where I was under the impression it was only to verify and consult for installation. I called Felicia from customer service and in a disrespectful manner told me to tell the installation team what I wanted. After this conversation I told my wife to tell them we were terminating the service.

    I receive a call from Tim **, service manager for Defenders and he apologize for the customer service rep and told me it was never scheduled as a consultation. It was scheduled as an installation. However, the price monitoring was going to be $49.99. On 09 March 2018, after receiving all documents my wife signed. I noticed the price went up to $52.99. I call to cancel and the service representative told me they will provide three $100.00 gift cards to cover the difference in price. Also, the $160.00 charged on my debit account would be refunded in a couple of days.

    On 16 March 2018 receive an email stating; a correction to your Alarm Services Paperwork was needed for ADT to correctly process my account and continue service. The signatures on your original paperwork do not match the name listed on the account. The signature name must be the same as the account holder's name. Balance due did not reflect current charges on the account, contract is backdated to time of install. This time the monthly charges went from $52.99 to $53.99.

    I called customer service on 19 March 2018 at 08:30 am to cancel the contract. Spoke with Rashaad about the situation and told him about my dissatisfaction with the company charges less than 2 weeks of the contract and that I'm not signed the document. I told him I would like to speak with the supervisor and he said the supervisor will not talk to me. I told Rashaad I will contact legal advice and file BBB report. File report on BBB on 19 March 2018.

    On 22 March 2018 receive call from representative from ADT stating they will refund initial contact fund ($160.00). She offer to lower my payment to $44.00 a month; however, I was not interested and wanted to cancel contract. Her response was contract is still validate and I would have to pay over $1,000 to cancel. So, word of advice for all my military brothers and sisters. STAY AWAY FROM ADT AND AFFILIATES.

A guy came and installed it. He did the box on the inside of the door in our kitchen which goes out into the garage. He also did the wiring in there and put the box right inside the door. He was very knowledgeable and he mentioned the fobs. I told him that was a lot better instead of worrying about getting in the house, pulling the panel down, and putting in the code. We like the fobs very well.

    So far, ADT's service has been great for us because when we leave or go out of town, we can turn the alarm on and we don’t have to worry about anything. I'm glad we have the system and we feel safe when we leave. I would also recommend ADT if I had someone inquiring about it. But there was a time when I was coming home and there were two deputy cars parked in the driveway. Apparently, the man I live with, Michael, pushed the panic button by mistake so, the police came and they wanted to see his driver's license and to make sure he's the one who lives there. Michael said it was his fault and the police wanted to make sure everything was good. Then they left and weren’t here very long. Michael was a little upset because it has never happened before.

    Contract & Terms

    Reviewed March 22, 2018

    Here's the deal with ADT: First, your system will stop working half way through your contract. Next, nobody will be available to come look at it. But you'll pay your bill anyway, you know, because you're a stand up human being. Then, when your ** long contract expires, you'll call to ensure that they don't put you into some month-to-month billing **, because you know that's how they do. But then you'll have to listen to some guy from the retention department spout out 45 minutes of ** about how your insurance premiums are going to go up, etc. Now they won't cancel your contract until you listen to the whole 45 minute vomit fest. It doesn't matter how politely or forcefully you ask. They won't let you speak to a supervisor. They won't transfer you to another agent. And they won't take "I just want to cancel please" as a coherent thought. They keep talking in circles.

    This is unethical, ADT. People have earned the right to cancel your ** service by paying their contract, and subjecting them to narcissistic ** agents whose only sliver of power in the universe is forcing you to listen to a ** spiel about insurance rates and equipment fees is insulting and, I suspect, illegal. If you bill me again, I'll sue. How's that for **?

    The cost does not justify the service. I rarely have any need to use the service, but the cost has gone up again. The recent increase has made me want to make a change. Just haven't had time to look at other alternatives.

    It is comforting to know that when the alarm goes off, the call to check is always well within a minute. I know, because I have set it off accidentally. I usually do that once or twice a year. The call back is all business until they verify that all is well. Knowing they can call police or fire gives you peace of mind that you have adequate protection.

First because it is thorough, easy to use, and if I can’t remember whether or not I activated the system, I simply use Pulse on my phone or iPad. The Service is as thorough as the system itself. When I needed new batteries, I simply called and within 36 hours a rep was at my door and installed replacement batteries.

    My wife called ADT on a Thursday evening to get prices and features. She spoke at length with a salesperson and his manager. She had specific questions written down and wrote down the answers we got to the questions. The discussion revolved around a service quoted at $36.99 or thereabouts. One of the specific questions we asked was whether or not you could arm and disarm the alarm with an app on a cell phone. The answer to that question was yes.

    During the conversation, the Salespeople told us about different deals and different equipment available and waived some fees and threw in some equipment and credit and we settled on getting the $36.99 a month service with a 3 year contract. We would pay the installation fee of about $105 after tax, and we would get a $100 gift card in the mail, after installation as a way to waive the installation fee. We scheduled an installation for the following Monday. The sales team said they would send a follow up email with all the details explaining what we were getting and what was covered and they also said that they needed a credit card to start the process and that they would apply a pending charge for the installation/activation fee that would not be charged permanently until the installation was complete.

    Monday afternoon, the installers arrive. We still don't have the email detailing what was agreed upon and the $105 charge has been permanently charged to my checking account. The installers, before they start anything, say there had been some communication issues with other people they were doing installs for and wanted to make sure we knew that the service that allows the app based arm/disarm feature is not the standard $36.99 fee, but an additional $16 a month.

    My opinion...classic bait and switch. We called back our salesperson, but he was not available, so we spoke to someone else and explained our issue. He agreed that he would feel the same way in our shoes, but there was nothing he could do, other than give us some additional credit for other pieces of hardware (camera or more window units or whatever). I cancelled the order and sent the installers away. It has only been 2 days, but I still don't have my money back, I have no email correspondence documenting the order or cancellation and I've gotten more and more annoyed by this experience. I called Slomin's as the ADT installers left my house, and that evening, I had an email contract clearly explaining what I would be responsible for and what services were covered with their setup. This might just be a case of miscommunication, but it certainly didn't feel like it to me. I would not recommend ADT to anyone.

    I made the HUGE mistake of inquiring about this service online. I'm a first time homeowner so I wanted to get security on my house. I didn't complete my inquiry online, but they still had my phone number and they immediately called me. They gave me a great spiel. Told me it'd be $49 a month, and all I had to do was book a time for a technician to come out. The catch - they wanted my credit card number so they could charge me $104 for the person to come to my house. I told them I didn't want to do that at this time. The assistant manager got on the phone and ASSURED me that I would get reimbursed that money. She also threw in an additional $400 of free equipment and a $100 gift card. I decided to go ahead and book the appointment because this was too good to be true.

    The person came out and installed their kit before he then showed me all the equipment I had to pay for out of pocket. His total assessment was over $2000. I told him I didn't want to do that. I naively thought that the $800 package they were offering plus the extra $400 the manager gave me would cover the security equipment. I told the technician I didn't want to spend that much. We got the price down to something that still too high but something I thought I could manage. I had to pay for half the equipment up front. He then assured me that the first charge for my service wouldn't come out for a month along with the rest of the equipment charge.

    So I check my charge card tonight. Not only did I not get reimbursed my initial $104, but they also charged me a prorated $80. When I called and complained about the $104 charge that the assisted manager told me I'd get reimbursed, the person said "the sales people tell people the wrong information all the time." She also said she gets complaints like this a lot. The Visa gift card was supposed to go toward my charge, not an extra perk as it was originally described. Oh and that $49 a month that was supposed to be my monthly fee...forget it. Because I'm using their app, I have to pay $52 a month. Between the $80 plus the $104 plus the equipment charge, I'm out over $600 within the span of a week. Another thing - I'm locked into a contract for the next 36 months unless I want to pay 75% of the charge right now. This is not right. Don't use this service. They do not tell the truth.

The installer spent over 8 hours doing little to nothing other than making my wife feel very uncomfortable, and another engineer had to come out to do the installation.

    The Nest products were not installed because they were incompatible and so were removed from our order BUT the discount we were offered was all on these third party products so low and behold we are now paying full price >$1300 for a system which was already installed in the house. We were told we could cancel in 6 months. So after 3 months I try and cancel and guess what. No you can't sir!!! You signed a 3 year contract and the 6 month money back guarantee doesn't apply to you.

At that time he obviously came very irritated when stayed another hour trying to convince me and in the meantime he took off the panel of my security system. Took all the wiring out and then he went to leave when he realized I absolutely was not going to go with him and he refused to put my original panel back on. Said he wasn’t authorized and didn’t know how to put it back on when he in fact took it off and pulled all the wires out so my system I have now is virtually useless.

    I will have to call another company to have a person that actually knows something about security systems to reconnect it. He was so rude and it was actually frightening me. He got somebody a manager on the phone and the first thing she asked me was what was my birthdate.

    I had recently moved in to the home and it had been burglarized so I was looking for a security system. The sales rep was very friendly. I have quite a few windows in this house and he was trying to figure out the best and the cheapest way to put sensors on everything. As a matter of fact, one of the problems was the TV room. It is an addition to the actual house and in that room, there are six windows. Doing those six windows would have added a sizable amount to the house. So he suggested that we set it up so that if someone breaks the window, the alarm would go off, not necessarily if they open the window. It was a good solution because the alternative was quite a bit of money. Because with the way they price it, we had already gone to the free part.

    I like the sensors. If anyone tries to open the windows or the doors that had sensors on it, the system alerts me that something is being opened or closed. The sales rep put all sensors on all the windows except the TV room. He said that the motion detectors would have to handle that if someone actually breaks a window. The installer was very nice too. He got along a little better with my son because I'm not really a computer person and he was trying to explain how to use the internet with the ADT system. He explained everything to my son and my son explained everything to me. It worked out very well.

    The only problem that I'm having is because the house is only one-story. It's rather long and the alarm is in the front part of the house. The alarms had gone off and I couldn't hear it back here in my bedroom. Otherwise, this system works as low as anything I've ever had. It was funny 'cause one day my alarm just started going off and I didn't know it was going on. ADT called me and they were trying to make sure that people knew their codes. The representative said that if I didn't know my code, they can't turn off the panic alarm. I couldn't remember it but she was able to send me the codes and I'm glad that they did a trial run. As soon as I saw the code, I knew what it was. But I didn't know at that moment and if something had happened, I would have been at a loss. I'm satisfied with the service and I would tell others to get it.

    Thanks for your vote!
