Your contractor has totally screwed up my checking account with their mishandling of my payment for your alarm system. I paid off their account on 7/21/16 and they subsequently did a flex payment in August and now AGAIN a flex payment on 9/22/16!! I want my checking account credited ($624.84) immediately... and I want 6 mos of complimentary monitoring in lieu of this unnecessary hassle!!

When reaching for a package on my backdoor step, I fell down the two concrete steps and landed hard on my shoulders and head. As I cannot get up from the floor anymore, I was unable to stand. My husband died two months previously and I was faced with lying on the concrete in the full sun until somebody happened by my rural home. I have no children, and would have been stuck outside at least until morning, when my personal aid comes to work. I didn't have my telephone with me as I had not intended to go outside. Although I could tell I hadn't broken anything, I suffer from heat stroke.
This could have been very serious for me, but I wear the emergency fob all the time, and pressed the button. The first-responders arrived fairly soon after I pressed the button, and checked me over, then helped me get up and inside my house. Soon the ambulance came and offered to take me to the hospital, but I declined. This help alone is worth any money I have spent on ADT services. I feel secure in my home, and can continue to live alone.

Completely uncoordinated - moving from one home to another. You guys continually billed me for my old location/closed account. The 800 line to go deal with accounting is complete waste of time - rude... Basically laugh at you - simply told me the credit would work itself out!!! Installer continually tried to upsell me - even led to a second appt so essentially 8-9 hours to install my system - Crazy. I had to resort to the regional Atlanta office - only people that would listen or follow thru. Absolutely horrible experience - I am sure to tell my friends.

I have nothing specific to report. Only that each and every time over the years that I've called ADT with a question about my security system, the CSR's have been quick and cheerful to help with the information that I need at the moment. The only reason I did not put five stars is because I could not think of a specific instance of help. I think four stars for everyday, consistent performance is pretty darn good.

We have been with ADT before it was ADT. We have had no problems whatsoever. I remember one time when I set bug foggers out and forgot to put the red cover over the smoke detector. We were only about 2 min from the house and heard emergency sirens and then a phone call from ADT. They shared that our smoke alarm had gone off. They were able to cancel the fire departments visit to our house after we assured them what the source of the alarm was. I have also mistakenly opened our sliding doors, which immediately sounded the alarm and ADT called to verify all was ok.

A bunch of people from the Warman Church was involved with a security system. They kept coming around a little deceptively to try to replace ADT but we caught them. I've had a great experience with ADT so far even if it catches me every time I forget to shut it off or don't get to it on time when I come in the house. All of their sales reps were great. The only thing I don’t like is that they came and upgraded the system three years ago to the later model which does not have any voice capability. The previous one had some voice messages for us like ones indicating our status. That was very helpful but we’ve adapted and are pretty much satisfied with what we have.

The installation seemed to go flawless. I asked about my rate. Told him the home phone line was in the basement and I was using that to get the original rate of 27.99 a month. He said, "Okay, they will still call your cell phone in case you're not home." I informed him my name was incorrect and was not Alexander and he said not to worry. It wasn't a big deal. I signed 2 places which said I understand the contract. Never once seeing the part of the monthly charge of 52 dollars and to my knowledge was getting the 27 dollar package previously agreed upon. I was also informed that the installation was free and was given so many sensors enough to cover everything but yet still was charged 300 dollars the day of installation.
I reviewed the document I signed after I received my 1st bill and my name was still incorrect and my signature was forged. I signed with my signature on the electrical pad and suddenly my name was signed Alexander ** in multiple places I do not remember seeing the day of installation. After spending 90 minutes on hold today and transferred to many people, I will be contacting the regional manager on Monday and have a lawyer to overlook the documents and will be considering legal action. I feel violated and taken advantage of and you all have been less than helpful in the situation. I will never recommend your services to anyone and will deter people from purchasing anything from your company.

Several years ago I had a system installed and ADT billed my account without notice, incurring overdraft fees and causing me to remove my card from auto billing. So here we are again. I had a new system installed and opted for the 3 pay plan. The initial card that I used was not the card I had intended for all 3 payments. I was assured that I could go into MyADT and change it anytime. Nope! That is not the case. I changed all my info on MyADT but they continued to charge the wrong account. Last month I had to do a mad scramble to get the funds in there to cover the charge. Yes I was charged overdraft fees AGAIN.
I called adt and asked them to purge that card from the system and use the card on file. They assured me that they did. 4 days ago, yup, they charged that card again. I scrambled to get the funds in there from another account. I was charged an overdraft fee and I called adt to once again ask them to purge that card from the system. I was assured that it was done and the money would be refunded to that account (7 to 10 days later of course) and the correct card charged. The very next day, yes, you guessed it, the charge was applied again. This time for more than the first charge, leading to yet another overdraft fee. I have never had to deal with so many incompetent noobs. I am re-thinking our relationship!

We were on the phone and my husband set our ADT system up. They basically asked what we wanted and he named all the stuff, but their guy came out and told us what we needed and what we don't. It was pointless for us to say what we needed when someone could've just come out and looked at it. Even so, the sales representative was good and we got a service package that includes the fire alarm.
The first guy who came for the installation was also good but something happened and the alarm went off one time and then I was getting an error code. They had to replace the box and another guy came out but he wasn't too knowledgeable. He didn't quite know what he was doing and what he was talking about. He had to keep calling someone to figure out how to do it because he didn't know how. Then he didn't set it up right. It works but I have a lot of sensors and the way he renamed all of them sounds weird. When I open my window it says, "Mr. Window 1st" and in my living room, it's "Living Window 1st." It's a weird order instead of saying, "First living room window" like it used to say. It's annoying when a weird name announces when I open up a window. I still have to call someone to come out and see if they could rename them again. Nonetheless, my ADT system makes me feel safer.

Overall service has been great. Whenever I have had an issue they are quick to respond and corrected the problem.

Whenever I use it, the alarm screeches as though it was being set off. I called to see what could be done and was informed that a technician would have to come out to see what is wrong, and I would be charged for that trip. I do not feel I should pay for a call when the technician who redid the system should have checked to see that the key fob was working properly.

I emailed again asking someone to actually read my message. The response was to cancel the password thing and ask me to call so they could reset the zones. I called and was told that it was impossible to reset the zones. The phone representative was rude and insulting. She implied that I was making it all up, even though I was reading to her from the email. She did, however, make an appointment for a service call. The service guy was great! He got everything fixed in no time at all and explained it all to me. So A+ for the service guy, F for the phone girl, and C- for the email people.

The experience has been TERRIBLE. First off the flyer represented that this was ADT which it was not. It was an authorized installer, which IMHO was not disclosed correctly and was inherently misleading. Second it said installation was free and did not mention equipment is extra. Third the installer comes to the house and basically jams the equipment down our throats by saying, "It does not matter. I am getting paid for this visit," and as I had given my credit card, I felt pressured to continue. All told I am out $570 because installation was not free (another lie) to have a security system when I had Slomin's already.
Now the kicker is we were charged 3 months in advance and the $100 card that was promised costs me $6 to get, and it will arrive in 6-8 weeks if ever. By far the most unprofessional experience I have ever had. How ADT allows Defenders to use their name, I do not know. But I would be embarrassed to be associated with this company whether it is as an employee, a client or as business partner. I have never felt so violated.

When I called and set up the appointment for installation, I was told that for all we needed, there would be no charge except the installation fee. I was also quoted a monthly fee of $46.99. When the techs arrived to install the system, they immediately installed the control pad and then proceeded to make a list of all that we needed and then break down the cost. To get "all that we needed" would have cost about $3500 extra. After telling them we couldn't afford that, they "called their boss" and texted their boss and finally got it down to an additional $450 (big price drop - big surprise!).
I told them to NOT install the equipment until we could decide if we could afford the $450. They absolutely insisted on installing it saying that they HAD to install it because they were already here. We were very upset and felt like we had been taken advantage of - the monthly fee had even been raised to $52.99 to get the cell service. It was a classic case of "bait and switch" - I was so disgusted with the entire process.
The next day, I called to cancel our service and was sent an email with the cancellation form. I tried several times to fax it to the # on the form, with no success. I then called the toll free # on the form and was told to email the form, which I did. When I called to check up on the emailed cancellation form, I was told that I had to send it to the local dealer, NOT ADT. So I tried to fax it again (was told that when you send a fax, you'll hear music, then push "send" again - stupidest thing I ever heard of). So I tried a few times more to fax the form but it never went through. So I ended up sending the form via USPS with return receipt and signature confirmation on the 3rd business day.
This was such a huge mess and handled very poorly. I think that the local dealer thinks that consumers will just give up and keep the service, but they have met their match. All I can say is "buyer beware"! There are several other home protection companies that won't pull this kind of nonsense on their customers. We ended up going with another company that quoted a monthly cost, included all that we wanted, no hidden fees or bait and switch. They also did not require any "installation fees" or add on fees once the tech got here. I would personally avoid "Protect Your Home" altogether!

We have always had ADT as our security company. They are excellent with their service as advisors and technicians. We have left the Garage Door open and for added security ADT installed sensors. The Alarm won't set if the doors are open.

We have been very satisfied with the service provided for the past 10 years. Unfortunately, we have been the victims of a burglary but the alarm system worked as advertised and police were summoned quickly. We have not considered any other service since this system is easy to operate and reliable.

We have been a long time customer beginning with Brinks Alarm Company. We are a firm believer that a alarm system will greatly improve home security and fire protection. We had the original system for many years with very little problems. With the changes in companies and the upgrades to an old system we started experiencing "connectivity" issues which caused the panel to beep at all hours. ADT was very responsive in trying different solutions to correct the problem but to no avail. They corrected the problem by replacing the entire system with a current new upgrade. We have had no problems since then. Thank you ADT.

When I hung up with ADT the most recent time I called, I actually said to a friend how easy, quick and pleasant my interactions always are with ADT. Other companies waste my time, don't resolve issues and are flat out difficult to work with. ADT is top notch!

Woke up at 3:15 am to the sound of an alarm (it was the keypad to the system). Went online to try to fix and found great helpful info - however it did not resolve the issue. Called C/S and spoke with Kyle. He walked me thru a fix and the system was back to online in less than 5 minutes. He also had me test it and he was able to confirm we were back online. Kyle was awesome! Thanks!

Yesterday morning I tried to test the companion services connection. After the 6 repetitions of "Companion Services," the beeps kept beeping without anyone answering. So I cancelled and tried two more times; no one answered. I then called the number. The person who answered said I should call the number first to alert someone that I would be testing the connection. That answer does not make much sense. If I am in an emergency situation, I need to have a response to the button. I should not need to get to the phone to find the number to call. The ADT rep wondered if my unit might need replacement. He asked me to try the system again this morning. I did so, and the connection was made. However, I am dissatisfied that if I had needed assistance on Wednesday morning, ADT did not respond to my call button. That undermines my confidence in the ADT system.

One evening while preparing dinner, I walked away from the stove for a few seconds longer than I should have, thus causing lots of smoke in the kitchen. Within seconds of my alarm sounding, my phone was ringing to confirm I was OK, and didn't need the fire dept. called. Thank you ADT for the feeling of comfort you gave me knowing you were there if needed.

I was burglarized two years ago. I needed an alarm system and called a number of local companies. I did notice many ADT signs in the neighborhood and called them. Within a day, I had a representative come out, very helpful. The initial phone call was also good as I was able to negotiate the cost to fit my budget. A year later someone also tried to break in but the locked windows deterred them. I feel safe. The important thing to remember is you MUST turn the alarm on...even when you are at home.

First of all, I haven't had any experience with ADT for at least 5-6 months now. Earlier this year, I upgraded my system to ADT's digital equipment. I don't remember much about this visit by the ADT tech, but apparently everything went well. However, prior to the tech coming out, I was promised by the ADT phone tech, that our monthly bill was going to be reduced to $50.00 per month. We just received our new invoice & it was still $58.00. I am not pleased with ADT right now, because the phone tech lied to me.
