    We have never regretted our decision to choose ADT as our home security provider. They were instrumental in protecting our home from a potential break-in within the last year. We couldn't be happier with the quick, consistent, caring reps who contact us any time something is happening and even in cases where nothing was happening but could have been. That's the kind of company we want to work with. Thank you again.

    A ADT representative phoned me quickly after the alarm went off. He explained how to check the battery and how to reset the alarm system. He explained if the alarm sounded again with 24 hours we would need to replace the battery. His instructions were clear and easy to follow. As it turned out we did need to replace the battery. ADT has always given us good service and responded to our needs quickly.

    My window washer disturbed one of my window devices which immediately caused my alarm to start beeping. While the window washer and I were scrambling around trying to realign the small unit, to no avail, I received a call from ADT with the option of talking to a live person. I chose that option and the rep was so patient and helpful. She stayed on the line with me for over a half hour while I tried everything, including changing batteries. Eventually, thanks to her, everything was reset and my alarm system was working again.

    I feel that ADT provided me with an easy way to secure my home. They were able to update and reestablish service on a preexisting system very quickly. I feel that one thing that ADT could improve on is the options they have for service. Unless you live in the stone age you have to have their second tier package, and if you live remotely you can't use the perks of the top tier package. The packages for service felt forced as I didn't have much of an option as to what I chose. This can be discouraging as you do have to sign a 3 year contract with them.

    Original Review: Oct. 5, 2017

    I am upgrading to Pulse. I have been told that I need a three year contract. That seems excessive. The upgrade should not affect what is already in place. What if I move out of my current house and go to another home where I don't need monitoring? The penalty seems unfair. I also scheduled my appt. which is a whole half day commitment. I was called to say it had to be rescheduled when I had waited all afternoon.

    I have called numerous times to complain about our ADT Pulse app crashing since the new update on Sept. 18th. I was told ADT is aware that iPhone 6s and above are having a problem with the app, but they have no ETA for a fix. I would think a company as large as ADT would make this an urgent issue and fix it asap, since the app is non-functional right now, and therefore not even a reason to have the Pulse system. We were in Australia when the update came out and were not able to access our home camera or system from there. NOT GOOD! The customer service reps I spoke with were excellent; they are not the problem. The IT department perhaps needs an overhaul, if so many people have the Pulse system but are unable to use it at all. I have been with ADT since the 90s, but will drop them if this is not fixed soonest. The app crashes immediately upon signing in (if you get that far), thus making it useless.

    I have been an ADT customer for several years. My system works wonderfully. I know because I have dropped items and set off the glass breakage alarm, opened doors and walked out without turning on the alarm, and more. In each of these several instances, depending on the time it took me to disarm the system, ADT has responded with either an automated phone call or when I didn't move fast enough, a live person phone call - very impressive. Additionally, even the signs in front of my house are a deterrent because the bad-guys know ADT works. There have been three break-ins in my neighborhood in the past couple of years, but none at my house. Finally, I really like the App. Once in a while I forget to ARM the system, but it is simple to do so with my phone.

We have ADT's wall arm and disarm and full protection for glass breaking and window as well as door opening and closing. The installation was flawless and so far I'm very satisfied with the features of my system. I like the ease of use and immediate responsiveness even if the alarm is false.

    ADT was extremely accommodating. When I called them, they said they could be here the next day and they could reconnect the system the day after that. It's hard to find that kind of responsiveness. Usually, it's, "We'll get back to you in a week and it'll be between noon and midnight." Since the installation, they've come out twice. One was to change out the battery and the second time was more recent when I replaced my front door. That was just a request to come and put a sensor back on. ADT has been outstanding.

I had explained to ADT sales that I had an existing alarm system and the sales office said they would use that and just add their keypad in the same location (NO electrical outlet was required for that alarm keypad). The installer, Cheryl was frustrated when I didn't want to use her choice of keypad installation (on my living room wall). We never were able to go over the keypad system and operation as when I asked a question, she said to read the paperwork she gave me as it was in there.

    ADT scheduled a block of time (11 to 3) on Friday, 9/29/17 for the installer to bring me out a keychain car alarm that she hadn't left the night of the installation. I was told the installer would call 30 mins before arriving to my home. I sat and waited 11:00 to actually 3:30p.m. and NO ONE ever called or showed up.

    Originally, ADT called me when the alarm went off, and I advised them NOT to contact the police. The person I spoke to confirmed this and hung up. A month later, I received a false alarm fine from the city where I live because ADT had called the police despite telling me they wouldn't. When I called their customer service to query it, another customer service agent advised me to pay the city and I would be reimbursed by ADT. I asked her multiple times if we would be denied reimbursement and she said no.

    I mailed the copy of the payment and after 3 months (yes, 3 months!!) I was told by ADT that they wouldn't reimburse me the $85 as I didn't have the proper authorization word when originally called. Prior to the alarm going off, I had called ADT on 3 separate occasions to request that the code word be mailed to me. On those 3 separate occasions, their customer service representatives advised me that we would receive something in the mail. We never received anything. So how are we meant to confirm a word that ADT won't notify us of, even when I've requested it 3 times?

    On the denial letter, they state that if you want to address the denial, you have to email, so I emailed them. Then a week later, I got an automated response saying to call their customer services. When I call their customer services, they say I have to email. So nobody will discuss this issue with me. It's an absolute disgrace, and some kind of scam they're running. Avoid ADT if you can. I can't wait for my contract to end, so I can get as far away from them as possible.

    Response from ADT

    Hello Siddhartha- Thank you for reaching out and welcome to the ADT family! We are sorry for any trouble caused and have located your account.

    I understand that you have some concerns regarding ADT’s procedures in why you are not called or you received a recorded message if the alarm is tripped and you enter your code to disarm your system. If you accidentally set off your alarm and enter your code to disarm the system, you may or may not be notified.

    To further explain this, on a burglar alarm the signal will transmit 30 seconds after the siren activates. On fire/carbon monoxide/medical/or any type of life safety device the signal transmits upon activation of the siren. Once the alarm signal is received in the monitoring center, the agent will start notification procedures of the signal.

    However, if an authorized restoral code is received, the agent may disregard the alarm and an Interactive Voice Response call is placed to the premise number. This procedure is to help reduce false alarms being reported to authorities.

    You may review your monitoring history anytime using www.MyADT.com. If you ever have concern that your system is not communicating, you test the system communication. For instruction on how to do so, please visit the following link to our YouTube channel: http://bit.ly/2xjJmoD

In order to get it done properly, I'll have to have somebody out to the house to which I asked why somebody didn't tell me about it in the first place.

    A couple of hundred bucks later for the cops, somebody came out. He was fine and he did whatever he did and it was resolved. Everything has worked since.

Next day it would disappear. ADT can remotely turn on and turn off system. In the area of my biz was village ordinance requiring keys be given to fire department. My neighbors gave their biz keys to them. Their own ADT employees (cops and fire department personnel and their affiliates) enter premises under the color of the law then steal, not notifying biz owner (me) there was someone in my business.

    Went to court and because of exculpatory clause in Terms & Service, cannot win claim against ADT. BE CAREFUL THIS COMPANY!!! When they realized I was suspicious, they planted evidence (cops) that caused my source of income to be gone!!! They planned their strategy well. Filed a complaint with government agencies, nobody investigates criminal activities of the cops!!!

The agent told me there was no such thing and that she don't know where I got that false information when on their website it clearly states I have 6 months hassle free. Clearly it's not hassle-free.

    Spoke to them a second time and was told by another agent I had 90 days from my start time to back out so I went ahead and said, "OK I want to do that." She then transferred me over to cancellation dept. This agent told me I have 3 days and was already over the 3 day period so I asked to speak with a supervisor. That's when things got ugly... She was very dismissive of my situation, she was talking over me saying there was nothing she would do to help in any way after I explained to her I was unhappy and felt tricked into this contract. I asked for the Corp. phone #. She then gave me the same number I used to call customer service and told me she ran the highest dept. and there was nothing else or anyone else that would help me, that no matter who I tried to call I would get the dept she was working on.

    When I asked for her name she refused to state what was her last name and said, "We don't give out last names in this company" so I left it at that and tried the number she gave me. To my surprise I got the same dept. so I tried again to have them honor their money back guarantee. This time I mentioned I don't want any money back just wanted to simply cancel. Again I was told I had to speak with cancellation dept. At this point I decided they were not going to honor their guarantee and gave up.

    When we moved into the house there was already an alarm system but, it was not the ADT. My sister who lives in Everett Massachusetts has an ADT system and she really liked it so when we switched the carriers, we went with ADT. We got the basic system unlike my sister's which talks and tells them when the front door is open. ADT took over what we had and listened to what my wife and I had to say about what we like and didn't like about the system that we had. They were good about modifying based on our needs.

    Whenever the alarms went off, they have been very responsive. They called the police department and got them out here to check the place so I'm very lucky that we've never had a break in. However, we're on a fixed income and we’re retired. Whenever they raised the rate, it's a big thing for us even if it's only a couple of bucks. But the customer service department has been willing to work with us regarding that and I'm pleased. I'd recommend them without hesitation.

    Somebody got robbed across the street so a few of our neighbors and I decided that we needed to do something because we were going to go on a long trip. I was very happy with the presentation of the gentleman from ADT as well as what he had to offer and the efficiency of how they put the system in. We got the basic alarm function and we have a wireless system. The installers put all the sensors in then we had a problem with the far reaches of our house so they came back and rewired the system with a wire for those sensors so I would have better connection with them. After that, we put in additional motion detectors and deleted a couple of window sensors. The technicians came as promised, did the job and were gone.

    I've had a few service calls and ADT has taken care of the problem. We had one burglary and they responded very promptly. We were out of town but they contacted me and my neighbors were very good to let the police in. I've also had a couple of blotch in the system and ADT has been very good about calling me about that.

    We upgraded our old system to the Safe Watch Pro 3000 to take advantage of an improved system as described by the ADT salesperson. After installation, our two major complaints is that the salesperson said that the upgrades would take only a couple of hours - it actually took approximately 8 hours to complete. Also, we were led to believe that the upgraded system touch pad would enable us to control the volume of the sounds that the pad makes for alerts and to control the brightness of the pad's display - neither can be done with the Safe Watch Pro 3000. We have to use a flashlight to view the display data.

    I called customer service to see if there was an alternative to the current touch pad and was told that there was another touch pad available that would cost us an additional $250.00 to install. I then asked to be transferred to customer loyalty and the person who I spoke with informed me that even though we had been an ADT customer for approximately 10 years, we were now basically considered to be a new customer with the new system so we had no customer loyalty points built up. So, we are stuck with a 3 year contract with ADT, but at the end of the contract I seriously doubt that we will renew with ADT. On a positive note, the system does work fine.

    The authorized sales rep ADT sent over was nothing but a player who was into nothing but getting his commission. He lied through the sales process; promised services that he was unable to deliver. When I Reached out for solution after finding my first problem, I was told they have no solution. When I brought up the promises that were made on record; I was told, authorized reps do not have the power to promise such. But ADT is not willing to step up and honor; I am therefore left with inoperable equipment that I am expected to pay for the next 36 months. Services not delivered as promised; I am left with a contract and no services to use. I am speechless.

    Anyone reading this post please never, ever use ADT. They are a horrible company and absolutely don't care about small businesses, or anyone in general. In October 2014 we opened an account with ADT for our small fashion boutique, and for smart business reasons we decided to close the store in Nov 2015. We obviously called to cancel our ADT service since we were no longer going to need them.

    However, we were told that we had a two-year contract and couldn't cancel until October 2016! We were so upset about that since we were never told it was a 2-year contract, but since we are responsible people we continued paying for our commitment. We were also told that we had to submit a letter in writing and request a cancellation. My husband followed up and everything was fine. They said they received the letter and will cancel as of October 14, 2016.

    Well it's 2 years later and ADT are still charging our credit card!!! When we called to complain we are now told that it was a 3-year contract, AND, they have no record of a cancellation request. It is a very frustrating situation to say the least. I absolutely dislike this company with a passion. They are like a modern-day Mafia. When you call requesting a refund for the unlawful money they have been taking from your account, you are told, "Sorry we have no record of cancellation" and "We are taking you to collections for missing two payments" and now probably more since we stopped our CC company from authorizing any more payments as of August 2017. They were stealing money from us for a whole year. I don't know what else to do to get these demons to stop charging me and reimburse me.

    I wish them nothing but bad luck and misfortune, and sincerely hope that anyone reading this seriously consider another alternative. They don't care about small business, you are just another revenue source. Customer service is the worst and they are all trained to lie and hang up the phone on clients. Customer service is a nightmare and conveniently never have any notes of cancellations or call history at all, because this is how they can continue stealing from people. Every year they seem like they keep adding another year to the contract; I want a copy of this contract. I absolutely don't recommend these crooks to anyone!

    Hello Keith- We are sorry to learn of your experience and appreciate you reaching out.

    We have located and reviewed the account. Unfortunately, there is no record of a cancellation request having ever been received. That said, ADT would not accept nor process a cancellation greater than 90 days in advance. If cancellation was requested in 2015, it should have been completed at that time. You would have then been billed for 90% of the remaining contract balance, as a lump sum. By leaving the account in service, you would have been responsible for paying the alarm monthly and sending in your cancellation request at the end of your 2-year agreement. (P.S: All ADT contracts in the state of California are 2 years, not 3.)

    Please let us know if you would like to review further. We see that you are currently in touch with our corporate office as well. ~Trèchell

    Fortunately my ADT system has never had to be used to indicate an intruder. I have had false alarms due to doors not being shut all the way or metal front door interference. The lack of intruders may be due to the signage on front and back of house indicating that the property is protected by ADT. The ADT system gives me the opportunity to travel and know my property is monitored while I'm away.

    Tyler was fantastic! Patiently explained everything. My husband and I are both over 65 and sometimes require extra time to understand technical stuff. Have never had a security system before so everything was new to us. He is a very pleasant person. We were ready to take him into the family by the time he took his leave. Very satisfied with the system so far. We have recently moved to Savannah from NY. Have not had to use it for any emergencies. Would like to thank Tyler and ADT for helping us feel secure here.

    To say the least I am EXTREMELY disappointed in the customer service at "Defenders." I find it downright comical that when I called very late in the evening on August 23rd just to inquire about what they had to offer the rep was more than eager to get a tech out to "speak" to me first thing the next morning. The tech showed up completely ready to install, apparently the sales rep didn't explain that I hadn't even made a decision yet. I explained that I was having a new front door installed on September 15th and wanted to hold off until that was done. The tech and the sales rep both assured me that it wouldn't be a problem to come back to move the sensors. I agreed to the install, after it was complete I called and scheduled a service call for the 16th to move the sensor. I was given false information on a couple of things from multiple people along the way but I didn't make a big issue out of it.

    Then about a week or so later while I was in the shower, my whole family was home and my system was UNARMED. I had my husband barreling into the bathroom saying that the alarm company had to speak to me. Dispatch from ADT said that it showed multiple zones alarming at my residence, the problem was that not only was it completely quiet but I didn't even have the alarm on. I had to call the rep back after I got out of the shower and they were able to log into the system and see that it was in fact unarmed at the time. They asked me to call defenders and set up a service call. I called and told the defenders rep what happened, they said something about ghost signals, ADT corporate still told me to insist on having the system checked so I said since I already have an appt set just add this issue to that ticket.

    That is when I found out that the previous rep had documented everything but had failed to schedule the appt so at that time the new rep Dave called the supervisor and had the appt approved for the 16th, you know, the appointment that had originally been made almost a month prior and now was being made again a little over a week prior. So the 16th came and I waited all day with my two small children stuck in the house on a beautiful day waiting for the alarm guy from 10a-2p... At 2:30 still no one. I called defenders and was told by a very rude rep that although the supervisor approved the appt the person that does the calendar schedule felt that another customer needed the slot so they gave my time slot to someone else. NEVER was I given the decency of even a phone call to let me know that a tech wasn't coming, then the rude rep said that she would reschedule and her first available was that following Tuesday.

    I took the appt and asked to speak to the manager, I was told there's no need to speak to the manager because it was rescheduled, that I could put in a complaint but probably wouldn't get a call back because they would see it as resolved since it's scheduled. I called multiple times after that asking for a manager and have yet to receive a callback. I put a dealer complaint in with corporate ADT and still never got a callback! Most recently on September 22nd I called again to speak to a manager and was told that "Kevin" was on the phone and would call me back... Never happened. I think it is pathetic that you can get someone out less than 12 hours later when there is money to be made off of an install but once you get the contract the customer is no longer worth the time to speak to.

    Also I am paid up until October first yet I just got notification that my card has already been billed and today is the 23rd of September, I haven't even officially had the damn system in my house for a month yet. They don't waste any time pulling that money but good luck getting someone of authority to return a phone call. I had two people that I was setting up to refer to defenders for an alarm system, I even told that to the tech installing that day. I can now assure you that I will not be referring that business to defenders and the next issue I do have all of this equipment will be ripped out of my house and returned. You can't hold someone to a contract when you can't even supply the promised service on a consistent basis.

    I pay the $4 extra/month for the app that doesn't work and gives errors 60% of the time. The tech couldn't figure it out and he also couldn't figure out why the "ghost" alarms went off, had I not been home police would've been dispatched for no reason and it would have been at zero fault of my own. The installation reps have been more than polite and accommodating, the customer service and management have left a lot to be desired. Again I have never in my life been more disappointed in a company and will definitely be spreading the word on my experience when asked.

    This was the first security system we have ever had so I was starting from scratch. Early on and throughout the process I was impressed with the detail, communications and follow-through. From the initial sales call the plan was discussed thoroughly with all aspects of the equipment, service and installation discussed. I did call back with questions a few times and each time I was treated very well, questions answered completely and response times were all good. Then came installation. Nate was our technician and installer. Nate is outstanding 5 Stars!! Nate, was prompt and on time, discussed all aspects of the installation in detail, and thoroughly explained all equipment, recommendations and options.

    I had a friend that was working for ADT and I was having some issues in the neighborhood, so I decided it was time to handy up the security. I've always had dogs but still I don't want them hurt if I'm out of the house and somebody tries to get in. The sales rep knew pretty much what I was asking for and explained some new benefits. They're friendly, informative and answered all my questions. Then the installer came out and he just stuck to his business. When he got it all done, he explained everything to me a couple of times. I'm an old lady, so we do learn but it takes us longer. So I was a little confused on the remote and he clarified all that for me. Since the day he got me up and running, I've been functioning, so job well-done. Their service people are also always nice and polite.

    I have ADT in two places. In my old place, I have the door and monitoring pads. Then at my new home, I've got the door sensors, glass breakage sensors and remote. So if I forget to set the system on, I also have the process of being able to arm and disarm it on my phone. That's all new to me but ADT's system has always been good and I never had any issues with them for several years. I recommend ADT all the time, too. When friends are talking and asking who has what and whatever, I tell them I have full confidence in ADT and that they're Johnny-on-the-spot if I need something. I have also felt safe in their product and their monitoring. Over the years, I've had a few issues here where they sent the police, so I'm covered.

    I have remained a customer of ADT over the years, being very satisfied with the service. A friend asked if she should give ADT my name as a referral for me to receive a referral discount. I called ADT to inquire and the person was unable to answer. She transferred me to another who was equally evasive, stating that the business must be a qualified ADT sales but could not tell me how to determine who is a "qualified" ADT salesperson. Nor did they have a list. So I feel they are advertising referral discounts unfairly, as the public does not have ready access to this information. They were also somewhat short and began to question me. This was the first time I've been made to feel uneasy or displeased with their response but it definitely left a poor impression.
