    My experience with ADT has been fine. Their people came, put the system on and never came back again which is the way I like it. However, I've had the service for many years but nobody has ever bothered to come and tell me that there are's something new which are even less expensive. I've talked to my friends who had some other services with a lot more features yet pay less than me. I also want more features for free. If it's going to cost a lot, I don't want it.

    My experience with ADT has been very positive. I was in an app working group with an ADT person. I knew him and trusted him so at the time it made sense to get the security system. I have accidentally set the alarm off on several occasions and we know for sure that there's gonna be a call. We don't even think about it anymore. When we hear the alarm go off mistakenly in the middle of the night, we go "Just keep the light on because they're gonna be calling us in a minute." and sure enough, it always happens. They're always courteous, too. Everything works fine and we're more than happy with the service.

    DO NOT BUY VIDEO SYSTEM... WARNING. Had PULSE installed with 2 exterior cameras, and interior camera, and a RING doorbell camera. Needless to say, my vehicle was broken into and the camera did not record the event... why you might ask? Because after it records 30 seconds of video it takes 4 MINUTES... 4 MINUTES to reset the camera and to start recording again. This system is worthless. After being a customer for 10 years the loyalty program had the gall to offer me 50% off my bill for 4 months. Great... that replaces about 10% of what I lost.

    I've been with ADT for about 30 years and it's been a very positive experience. I've been very pleased with them and nobody else has come up with anything better. Whenever I call about anything, it seems to be taken care of very quickly. Once, their tech came out and changed the pad up in my bedroom, and he was very pleasant. My sense of security being with ADT has been fine and I haven’t had any attempted break-ins. It's been very effective and every time anything happens, I get a call or I call them and everything is taken care of.

    I've always been happy with ADT and have gotten good customer service when I've needed it. Things seem to be working well. The sales rep was very accommodating and he explained things well. The crew that came in to install the system was informative and did a good job. I feel safe when I have the system on and it's been easy to use. It goes off when it needs to.

    One of the features that I really appreciated was that I got an email from ADT saying that my battery was low. I didn't even know that it was low or that I needed to ever change it. Through their system, they could realize that my main battery was getting low and that it had gone beyond the normal changeover time. They were able to put it into a mode where I could change all the batteries without it alerting them that something was wrong. When I needed to change batteries, I was able to communicate by phone and they walked me through it. Between that and online, I was able to change the main batteries and also all the door batteries.

    I learned to appreciate Ackerman more after trying another service (ADT). What a BIG MISTAKE. I do not know exactly why I changed. That is, except I was told by ADT they would treat me fairly and it would be worth it to make the change. After having the system for about four days, I decided I did not want it anymore (prices changed among other disappointments) and was told it was too late. I didn't want it because I found this was the wrong SECURITY service to trust. (Main reason) - I prefer my accounts paid on time. Since a few years have been added to my age, I have mostly automatic payments. Someone from ADT, (Didn't get the name from the not so nice person.) decided to get a large sum from my account without my permission. As I asked questions, I discovered she had gotten my credit score without my permission as well. There was a freeze, I thought, on my credit.

    When I asked her how she managed to get the report, she answered very strongly "Because I am security". I asked how could I stop the service and was told by paying three years of service. It was too late now. I didn't, at the time have the service for a week. In the beginning, I was told the cost was 29.00 per month. It is now 49.99. Yes, it hurts. I have a very limited fixed income. Yes Ackerman was quite a bit less. I could pay them over two months with this amount. Very nice company who checked periodically on their service. There should be something done about ADT. I have had conversations with other consumers who feel the same. I know I have two services here. I feel there is a justifiable reason for both. One ADT, is so bad, I just had to mention it. ACKERMAN is so GREAT, it needs to be mentioned.

    ADT has some great home security options, but they don't disclose that a third party is who your contract is with. They also don't disclose ANYWHERE in my contract that you have to re-enter a new 3 year contract EVERY time you move. This is NOT good when you're a renter and tend to move a lot. I don't like contracts to begin with and it's actually rare that at any rental for up to 3 years because of rent increases and other factors. High pressure and misleading sales at time of installation. ADT and their third party contractors that are actually providing the service don't seem to communicate with each other. You can ONLY use ADT supplies with their services which are astronomically expensive. Had I known all of these details before getting a home security system, I would have shopped around! I trusted the ADT name though. I do, however, feel secure with the security system itself.

    We were with Brink’s and then when ADT took over, we just went right along with them. ADT gives us excellent service. Their technicians' very efficient and pleasant and I've never talked to anyone there that wasn't as polite as they could be. Also, our sense of security with them is very high. Occasionally, when we have too much smoke in the kitchen, it sets the alarm off. They call us immediately to make sure everything is okay. And then once, we had just left the house and was a couple of blocks away, they called my cellphone and we turned around and came back and everything was okay. Another instance was when we weren't home and the alarm went off and they couldn’t reach us, they notified the police and they came out and checked it out to make sure everything was okay. We're very happy and we have been totally satisfied with ADT.

    I called ADT several numbers but all representative hang up or transferred my call. We moved from Gurnee. We completed the relocation and had accessed number. On 9/3 9:00 pm, the man visited my house and introduced himself as ADT salesman. We believed ADT send the man for extended our agreement from Gurnee. He made a contract and told me I would be able to cancel his service anytime. Also, my husband reminded him about double check of previous contract cancellation. But, we've charged double for 7 months. I called several numbers of ADT. Many of representatives hang up phones, also screaming. Some representatives told me "ADT but TOTALLY DIFFERENT COMPANIES". It's not be the reason as the sales told me as he was from ADT.

    But, I needed to call two companies. The first company accepted our cancellation by charging more 6 month $360 after we moved out the previous house. If the salesman talked me honestly as he worked for the different company, also he couldn't cancel for the previous contract, we didn't make a new contract. He deceived us and made a new contract for $318 for devices and $1943.64 (53.99/month).

    We paid almost $100 monthly for 7months only for security. I called more than 20 representatives and many of them hang up the phone or transferred me to somebody. I talked the same things many times and tired out. Even if I asked them the business address, they can't answer it. Where is their office? Their evidence is just charging me. What is ADT. I called 877-842-0818 and asked the cancellation as this contract was broken by the sales. But representative strongly pushed me to pay more than $700 for cancellation. I didn't break any promises. We paid $318 at first and pay monthly. As the salesman didn't let us know the truth and we got a big damages. Then we are asked cancellation fee more than $700. This is not fair. I STRONGLY ASK THEM TO CANCEL THIS CONTRACT BY NO CANCELLATION COST AS THIS DOUBLE CHARGE HAPPENED BY THEIR FAULT.

    I have been an ADT customer since 2004. We upgraded our security system two weeks ago. We added two outdoor cameras, one indoor camera, five more door/window sensors, one smoke detector, Ring doorbell, a digital control panel, and upgrade keypad. The installation technician didn't know what he was doing. He spent more than twelve hours to install the digital panel with keypad as well as the door/window sensors. He even called his coworker to come over to install the cameras for him. Eventually, one of the cameras was blocked by the outdoor flood light because he forgot the camera location where I wanted him to install. He wanted me to keep the camera location since it was too late to reinstall the camera. Also, he told me a big hole would be left in the wall if the camera moved to different location. Now the side camera can only cover less than 40% of the designated area.

    The front door camera angle is too high and does not meet our expectations. The technician refused to re-adjust the angle because he had an errand to run after the installation. Now the front door camera cannot sense any unknown cars parked in front of my house as well as any people trespassers. I told him the Ring doorbell position was too low during the installation but he refused to adjust the Ring doorbell location. Now the Ring doorbell cannot capture the persons facial image at the front door. The function of the system is completely out of our expectations.

    The technician spent more than one hour trying to sell me more devices instead of focusing on the installation. He wanted me to sign the paperwork quickly so that he could leave the place. He told me it wouldn't matter whether or not I sign the paperwork, even if I was dissatisfied of the outcome of the installation. We were very very very upset about his poor performance. I sent an email to his supervisor the next day but he selected to refuse responding to the complaint. I then sent another email to ADT's corporate office in East Coast. They also selected to refuse responding to the complaint. We want our money back and want to discontinue all services with ADT. We will not use them again since they are absolutely unprofessional.

Ridiculous rate, yeah but was busy and not thinking clearly. Then after reviewing contract I found that it was for 3 years! The representative also told me that I would have one free move, meaning that if I moved, I would not be charged to move my system. It turns out that, not only am I charged for moving, I have to purchase more equipment and extend my contract for three more years. The worst of it is that I have a security system at my present address, but is required to buy new from them (ADT) because I'm still under their contract. Someone please help.

    ADT Service has not been functioning properly for about 6 months. A technician came to "fix" the problem but issues persisted. The Alarm would go off on its own for no reason, all hours of the day and night, and go off when it shouldn't. It then went off and wouldn't turn off regardless if I unplugged the machines and attempted to log in online to turn it off. I contacted ADT to schedule another technician service and requested they turn off alarm. The tech was scheduled to come out later that day.

    The agent disarmed the alarm and as soon as I hung up the phone the alarm went off on its own again. And again I couldn't turn it off no matter what I did. The police even came to the home. It was 5 am. I then took a hammer to both machines as this was the only way I knew of to disarm them. I immediately called ADT and was told I would now be charged for a technician and new equipment. At which point I canceled the service. Now, I receive a $700 bill for the remainder of a contract. How could a company charge you for a service that does not work, and when you cancel, you are charged? Sounds like highway robbery to me. From my research, there was a class action lawsuit against ADT in California not too long ago for this sort of business practice. DO NOT USE ADT!

    Defenders ADT got in touch with me promptly and completely satisfied my dispute with them.

    Original Review: March 27, 2017

    My experience with purchasing and getting my alarm system installed was punctuated with multiple false promises, including a verbal promise from 2 agents that I could cancel my contract within 6 months, promises for additional devices, and a hidden fee and process for getting the $100 gift card. This was a local installer Protect Your Home of Kansas City. Frankly the only good reviews I can find about ADT are about the corporation. Most reviews of the franchises, if that's what they are, are terrible. Considering ADT's excellent reputation, I foolishly believed what I was told.

    I responded to a mailer offering $100 gift card refund for my installation. I was promised 2 motion detector devices on the phone but only received 1. Victor assured me multiple times verbally that, even though it wasn't in the contract, I had 6 months to cancel it. Considering that ADT is a well regarded company, I assumed he could be trusted.

    The installation person, promised I'd get support from him via personal text for 2 weeks after the installation, but couldn't get him to fulfill multiple promises to come fix my system. My home was unsecured for 5 days while he tried to get someone to fix it, but I paid full price. He also took down the wrong numbers, which resulted in a police call for a faulty window alarm. 4. The $100 gift card they promised required me to print out and send a $4.95 S&H fee, so the actual amount of the card $95.05 less postage and cost of the money order. 5. I called the 800-689-9554 number attempt to cancel my account, but was told repeatedly that despite what I was told repeatedly, they would hold me to the 36 month contract. At every step of the way I was promised things just to get my business that turned out later to be not entirely honest. It's a shame that a company with such a stellar reputation would tell a series of half truths and outright lies just to get my business.

    ADT's sales reps were good in explaining things. I got their fire alarm, sensors, as well as the smoke and motion detectors that go with the windows and everything that I have. The installers also added the phone to the new system, and it's up-to-date, so far. The only problem that I had was with the batteries that go with the system and the sensors. The battery doesn't go out frequently, but it's been there for a long time that it's had its toll.

    The guy who convinced me to get ADT was extremely nice. He was a good salesman, and everything he said happened. Even the people who came over to install the system were extra nice. They were all wonderful. But I was disappointed a couple of months ago because somebody tried to open the window and the alarm went on. It was on for about 15 minutes before we tried to get back and check. We turned it off, but nobody even bothered to call us. Next time I’m disappointed, I’m gonna take it out and get somebody else. I have the alarm because I want to feel secure. But if ADT doesn’t call me, then what’s the use having the alarm? Other than that, I like it. It’s working with the basement, and I’m satisfied. I will recommend them. As a matter of fact, I’m trying to convince my sister-in-law to get it. She lives next door to me and I think she’s gonna do it. But they have to be a little bit more up to it.

    We used to be with ADT. No prior complaints. Changed to AT&T Digital Life for the upgrades. We got a letter from ADT, asking us to return, offering a great price - $19.99 for the first 12 months and $36.99 after that. I knew it was a three year contract and had no problem with that. I spoke to Jason at ADT. (I think that was his name). He told me there was a $99 installation but we got a $100 Visa to offset that. We would also get a $200+ Visa to offset the difference between the $19.99 and $36.99 for the first twelve months since they would charge us the $36.99 each month. We set up the installation.

    Dustin came in to install the system. He told us the $36.99 was for a landline system (which we have) but it was better to have Pulse, which would be cellular and would give us access to everything on our phones. That was going to be $52.99. But it was cellular and was still a little cheaper than AT&T, so we bit the bullet. And then he showed us all the upgrades he had available. That would be an additional $4900+ but we could get it all for $2100+. This shocked us. While talking to Jason, he knew our system was compatible with ADT because we had been with them before. But our current system was installed before we bought the house in 1992 and has had a couple upgrades. We eliminated 75% of the suggestions and added some much needed upgrades, biting the bullet again. But we are happy with our security system as it is now and know the upgrades are important.

    Today, I opened all the documents that were sent on the day of the install. Of course, we are too late to cancel the contract, which gave the standard three day termination clause. Today I found out we have to send $4.95 to a 3rd party company to get the $100.00 Visa card. That is not on the letter enticing us back and that was not disclosed by Jason. So, I called ADT customer service. That's when I told the lady about not being told about that extra fee and being a bit surprised. I was more surprised when I was told that since we went with Pulse, we would not get the $200+ Visa card because that was an offer only for the landline offer and going with Pulse vacated that offer. So, in short, we were not told the following:

    We had to pay to get the $100 Visa card until after the installation and after getting the documents mailed after the installation. We were not told the $36.99 was limited to the land line and we would have to pay $52.99 for the cellular protection and phone app until the installer came out. The letter does say Pulse is available. We were not told during scheduling we would need to upgrade our system and in fact we were told we would not need any upgrades to make the switch. The installer was very good and trustworthy but we were not expecting to be asked to buy $4900 worth of new equipment. We are happy with what we had upgraded. We were not told that by upgrading to Pulse we would lose the $200+ Visa and in order to get that we will have to have another appointment with the installer to downgrade the system, potentially making us less safe.

    The new equipment we put in will work when we downgrade our system and it will move with us if we move so we were not mislead there. The installer told us that when they install systems, they keep the same installer going to the same home for continuity. ADT customer service told us they cannot do that. I have contacted the installer. As a third party installer contracted solely to ADT, his company keeps the same installer so he did not mislead us but ADT was unaware of that.

    I know ADT is a good company but the scheduler flat out mislead or failed to be honest about the offer, the extra costs associated with the offer, the fact that upgrading our system would make us lose the offer and customer service did not care. I told the lady with customer service that whoever monitors that phone call needed to listen and fix a lot about what the schedulers tell people versus what the installers tell people versus what customer service then tells customers who are already entrapped. I doubt I will have any problem with the ultimate product, but I am past disappointed in how ADT conducted their business just to get back a former customer.

    I was ADT customer for 12 years. Moved to a new house last summer and was informed by ADT that there was no more debt in my equipment. All their calls are recorded and they can easily access their calls. Few months later received a bill of > $700 related to the financing of the equipment. Called again and was informed multiple times that there was no debt left in my account. Past due bills kept coming until the ADT representative informed me that I had to transfer the account and equipment to the new owner, which I did and ADT confirmed that transferred was processed and there was no debt left for me.

    I kept receiving past due letters and ADT sent my name to a collection agency named Apelles. This has been going on for more than 8 months now and I can't pay what I don't owe and ADT can't get things organized. I sincerely don't know what else I can do. They call my home daily leaving collection messages, I have asked then to suspend the calls every time I call them and they confirm to me that there is no debt left in my account.

    Before I moved in our house where I live alone, I had some repair work being done. The guys were storing their stuff in the garage overnight. Somebody broke in, took some of their tools and then went into the house and took my son's printer. So I got ADT's package with many window alarms, four door alarms including the garage overhead, smoke detectors in the house and the garage, first and second floor, a motion detector in the living room and a window breakage detector in the glass and back porch.

    I've been here for 11 and a half years now and I have never needed real help. But every time the alarm was accidentally set off, they call and try to reach me and for some reason or another, I don't answer the phone. The first time I wasn't even here. My granddaughter left the front window unlocked, so she could climb in if I wasn't home when she came here from school. Her father was supposed to meet her here. He has to click the code to the alarm. She opened the front window, climbed in and before I got home, the police were here.

    I was three blocks away at the post office. My son was not here yet because he was at the supermarket picking up stuff for her snack. They reached me on my cellphone and I came tearing down there and the police were walking up to the front door. Nobody was home but the window was wide open. I knew instantly what had happened. I said, "She's around somewhere." When she saw me, she came out into the house next door looking very sheepish.

    Sometimes ADT would call me because my batteries are beginning to die. They call me up to say, "We're getting a trouble alarm." I have heard the alarm though it doesn't sound like an alarm on the panel. It sounds like a brief burp. I'm 75 years old and I had to get some magnifying glass out to see it. I should get another panel instead, but it still works. Since ADT bought Brinks, they haven’t had the need to come out and fix anything. We’ve been able to handle everything by phone. It's a matter of going to the store and buy the right size battery and install it. At one point, they thought they might have to come out and repair it because we couldn't get something solved but then it solved itself from something they did from the office. I am satisfied with the service and I have also recommended them to several friends.

We called off the first one, and called back on the second one to have them call off the police in the nick of time. Our sensor was clearly faulty. We scheduled a four hour appointment window for about two weeks out, and when it finally comes, we get one hell of a run-around.

    The technician comes over, asks if we have cats, and we say we have two. "Yeah, that's why it's getting set off." We asked the salesman if cats were an issue a year ago, and he assured us that it was motion and heat activated and nothing under 50 pounds would set it off. We've had the system for a year without the cats setting it off. Technician says cats jump up on the furniture and look bigger than they are to the motion sensor. We were told it was heat AND motion, and we have had no problem with this sensor for almost a year. We have network cameras, and frequently see the cats on the furniture when we are not at home without the alarm causing problems.

    He says to either bypass the motion sensor for short trips, or just lock our two cats in our 36 square foot bathroom with a litter box and food while we leave on extended vacations. So the technician goes, presses a bunch of buttons, purposefully sets off the alarm (for some unknown reason, seeing as he has apparently already diagnosed the issue,) and knocks our brand new, $300 video game console to the ground, (adding a few new scratches to the touch-screen,) before saying he's done, and running out.

    I call technical support to see if there is a way that we can knock this piece off of our price if it's not getting fixed and we're not going to use it. She says just to use the bypass mode, and that apparently we cannot rid ourselves of the motion sensor and reduce the monthly cost because we paid for that in the initial setup payments. You know- when the installer lied about the motion sensor. The same installer that knocked eight holes in our wall before deciding on a spot for the panel. The same one that claimed the job was done before I tested the windows, (a few didn't close properly,) and told him it wasn't.

    Installer: Commission-hungry, dishonest, and unskilled. Technician: Clumsy, blame-shifting, and dedicated to doing the absolute minimum work required in any situation. Support Center: Unapologetic, unsympathetic, and unwilling to work to resolve any issues with customer relations. Someone here is lying about something. Either the installer who sold us a motion sensor saying the cats wouldn't be an issue, or the call center and technician who say the cats are the issue when they haven't been for almost a year.

    I don't feel the need to call out the individuals as I'm sure my account is well documented, and this is potentially a problem with how management trains or oversees things. Regardless the entire experience with ADT will have me recommending a competitor, (any competitor,) to anyone who asks. Do not let ADT in to your home. They don't fix the issues they come to fix initially, set off the alarm to make it look like they did something, and cause needless property damage. Whether installer or technician, I advise you to keep any valuables out of reach and keep an eye on them while they work.

    I have been a customer of ADT since 2013. Never had an issue with the service. However, when I moved and wanted to relocate my service to a new address the experience has been just a nightmare. I sold my place and moved into a rental. Not knowing exactly what the house had set up as security, my original order included a wireless windows/doors line item for $240.00. I paid $100.00 deposit toward the install and at worst I would have to pay an additional $272.00, after their "$559" credit applied toward equipment.

    Day of install, the tech came out on time, evaluated the current system. Come to find out the house was fully hard wired, every ext. door and all windows had sensors. The only thing was there were two key pads in the house. The tech said I needed to replace them both and I had only order one. So, he removed the wireless windows/doors line item for $240.00, and added a single item for the additional keypad. He spent about 6 hours here at the house for both install and adjusting these items. He called several people to get assistance and finally he worked it out. What came of it was I did not own anything after install and that I had a credit of $73.24. I saw it on his computer. He said that I would not have to pay anything for my March service invoice and I would have $11.19 credit towards my April invoice.

    Well...I received my March bill and it stated I owe $317.11. 2/28 I call and spoke with billing (Betsy) and she had attitude with me, stating that this is what is due and everything has been adjusted. I am thinking how that can be...the numbers do not line up. Then I called my original representative (Randy) and explained the situation. He understood and stated that the Tech's adjustments had not been updated into the system. He would reach out the Tech's manager and have that corrected. He told me that I did not need to worry about paying this amount that he would call me back to give me an update.

    I gave it sometime and I decided since I never heard back from Randy (2 wks) I would call the main number to check my balance. 3/16 The system stated that I did not have anything due and that I had a credit of $11.19. Wow I am thinking Randy got it all corrected to reflect what I saw after the Tech made the necessary adjustments. BOY I WAS WRONG. Today 3/18 my bank informs me that ADT has debited from my account for $251.44, yes folks...can you believe that...?

    Needless to say, I called the billing area...and spoke with Tiffany. She pulled the account and we just could never get on the same page. I was told that all the credits were applied and this is the correct amount that was due to them. I said "what does this make up?" She gives me a breakdown of the monthly fee $62.05 and $189.39 from install that I owed. She also touched on another amount that I was charged but it was not disclosed to me, was an Acceleration Billing amount of $116.53. This represents breaking my 3 yr contract with only 5 months left. Randy had told me that they waive that charge to their existing customers that going into a new 3 yr contract. I should have never been charged this amount in the first place! They have provided a little credit back on it per Tiffany of $34.30 ($116.53-($34.30) = $82.23). Tiffany had provided another credit today for an over billing of monthly charge, which is good, but not part of this math.

    I know what I saw the day the tech was here and all I ask is that I get charged the correct amount for the key pad, deduct the $240.00, not using creative accounting. I do not have a problem paying my monthly fee, but that even went up without my knowledge. Pursuant to the website and their Relocation Movers offer with ADT Pulse, I should have the $559 credit, plus monthly charge of $47.99. I need to be credited back this Acceleration Billing amount of $82.23, plus $240.00 and charged for the key pad, adjustment credit of tax as well.

    Monthly fee should be $47.99 for my service. This all needs to be corrected and my money returned back into my account. This is not what I signed up for over the phone and I HAD to sign the electronic contract on 1/31 before I even knew what I had in the house (moved 2.18). This isn't the way to do business and I'm very disappointed with how this matter has thus been handled. I hope that ADT makes good or I will take my business elsewhere. This has been undue stress and I should also be compensated for that as well.

    The battery in our living glass sensor was low so we called ADT to send us some batteries. We were told that it would be a $25 charge for someone to come out and replace the batteries in all of our sensors. We were further told that replacing the batteries was "tricky" and we should have a technician do it. When We received the batteries I called to make an appointment and was told that the customer was expected to replace their own batteries and the $25 charge was just the trip charge and we would also be charged for labor. Fine, we'll replace the batteries ourselves.

    When I opened the booklet with the directions none of the sensors pictured was the one we had. I chose the one that most resembled ours and followed the first direction to put the system in test mode. The direction in the booklet was totally incorrect and I had to go to the internet to find the correct procedure to get to test mode. The next direction said to insert a screwdriver in the slot opposite the decorative ribs. Our sensor had neither. After one hour of messing with this I called and a rep walked me through the process and said they had sent the wrong booklet. I can only imagine what it will be like to replace the batteries in the remaining sensors. I have become increasingly dissatisfied with ADT service and if we were not moving I would be shopping for another alarm company.

    ADT uses a third party for the sales pitch and installation. They are paid commission only and arrived late. The salesperson assessed my home and advised me that I needed about $6000 worth of home equipment even though when I set up the appointment they said that I had $1200 worth of hardware available and that I would only pay the monthly service charge. The salesman was relentless, the process was exhausting. I had previously given my credit card for $100 to set up the appointment (scam). I now hope that they are sincere that I will receive a visa debit card for that good faith deposit. Within 2 days of the install ADT had charged my credit card for the first 2 months' service and it took 2 weeks to get the money refunded through credit card since ADT never answered the phone. Anyone can go online and find do it yourself installation and cell monitoring for a fraction of the cost. Avoid this company at all costs.

    I've been an ADT customer for more than 6 years and I've never had a situation that needed the ADT security system to intervene until three weeks ago. We had a situation and the alarm went off and the ADT monitor system did not work (calling and validating the status at home then calling police if necessary). After I realized that the system response did not work, I called ADT for answers. Long story short the monitoring systems "was disconnected!" The agent validated the fact triggering the alarm (two times and then resetting the system) and reconnected it to work as expected. I was surprised to say the least and escalated the issue and opened a case.

    Days passed waiting for a manager to call me for an explanation/remediation because, I've been paying for some "security monitoring" that was not working but, never received the call. I decided to call ADT again and after talking with three different agents and supervisor, landed on a "Corp Manager" called Isa (no last name with the code **) who said that a technician would visit me to validate the system and show me the history of events. ADT sent an agent that was not certified in pulse system and after validating that my equipment was working fine, scheduled a visit for a certified pulse technician that never came home. Called ADT, again, and they said that all technicians were sick that day!

    Days later a technician came to validate that there was nothing wrong with my equipment and did not know what he was doing (or supposed to do) at my house, and after explaining the initial issue he said he would escalated with his manager and call me back, thing that never happened. Days passed and I've called the Corp Manager Isa but never answer the phone and leaving several voice message with no success. ADT reputation is great but in my experience they don't care about the customer. In my case I've been paying for a service that was not working and they don't care thus, I demand some kind of compensation.

If this was just about him, I would give 5 stars. HOWEVER, the woman I spoke with on the phone for support was totally worthless. She could not tell me how to remove the cover for the glass break (she was giving me incorrect instructions, as I found out), then asked me if there was someone else there she could talk to like I was not intelligent.

    My husband could not follow her instructions either. Because she was not knowledgeable, a technician had to be sent out, where I learned she was giving me totally incorrect information. Apparently there is also no online help for changing batteries. This needs to be taken care of. But again, the technician gets 5 stars in my book for his knowledge, experience, and manners.

    The convenience and value of our home monitoring and security system is almost beyond words. We have sensors on all doors and windows on the ground level, a glass break sensor, carbon monoxide and smoke detection, and remote garage door control. The ability to monitor all of these real-time from a smartphone or computer is great. I can tell when packages are delivered to the garage, when visitors/pet sitters come by and for how long, and if we accidentally forget to set the alarm or close the garage door when we leave, we can do it while we are away. The safety of having a "duress code" is great as well, and the ability to add/delete schedules and codes to allow our neighbor to come by and watch the cats while we are gone, for example, is priceless.

    The fee of $50/mo is very affordable, we feel. The installation cost was expensive, but the quality of products, expertise of the crew, and speed and efficiency of the installation all made it worth it. The crew of three (two techs and a supervisor) were in and out of our home in four hours, and they even set the system up in a different manner based on our request - for more reliability, they tied the monitoring connection into our phone land line instead of wireless, due to weak signal strength in our neighborhood.

    When the sales representative came by for our initial meeting, he was very courteous, personable, and professional. He helped customize our order and explained all the options. He also walked our property with us and gave us some great tips, like frosting the windows by the front door and avoiding leaving ladders in the back yard to allow burglars access to the second floor windows. Overall, ADT is an amazing company and I completely understand why they have been in the business so long. They're great!

    I am completely satisfied with ADT. I do not wish to change anything. They seem to always be concerned about my well being especially when I make the mistake and forget to turn the alarm off as I enter the house. They are very professional and kind. Although, it would be nice to receive new yard signs after all these year.

    We got a surprise from the city of a bill for $346 for using the panic button inadvertently when trying to turn off our alarm as we entered our home and was unable to use phone to call it in because our phone had died! We assumed our son who is the backup caller had been called but was not. The police came to our surprise and checked our identity and left. Grateful for the check from police but unhappy about bill as we were not told by ADT NOT to use panic button or we would suffer the consequences, i.e. charged for police check. Just wondering why we have panic button and cannot use it!

    Response from ADT

    Hello Lloyd. I apologize for this experience. The panic button, is handled as a duress alarm which is considered higher priority than a general burglar alarm that may come in from a door/ window sensor. This feature is typically used in times of duress, when you need immediate police assistance. For ex, someone is attempting to force you to disarm the system. ADT will call your home and attempt to reach you for a panic alarm, and after that PD is dispatched immediately. If this was another type of burglar alarm, we certainly would've followed the call list you have set up. If you have further questions regarding the process, please call us at 1-800-238-2727. Thank you. -Andrew

    I have been an ADT customer for several years. This is my third home that I have ADT in at the present. When I ordered my ADT and when the tech came to install, it was entirely different. The tech did not honor the plan that I was quoted. He charged me $2,500 for my installation. I called ADT 3 times before I could get anyone to review my account. A lovely lady finally assisted me and understood my concern. She agreed that I was charged twice for I should have been charged and the tech installed too many smoke detectors.

Both times set off the alarm. You might think of this as a negative. Not at all! It show us how sensitive the alarm is.
