Description of Work: I recently bought a house in Lexington, Ky and received an advertisement that ADT would be only $29/mo. I hadn’t used an alarm system before but wanted to try it, I could afford that. I called and was told yes, it would be that amount and yes, I could try it out and cancel if I didn’t like it. Then I focused on moving, fixing my house while still working full time. A guy came and set it up and had me sign a small tablet, he said to confirm he set it up. Then I get a bill for $50. I call to complain and am told I signed a two year contract for that amount by the set-up guy. And I had a small window of time to contest, which of course no one mentioned, and of course had already passed. They were very smug in telling me they have my signature and there’s nothing I can do about it. The way this company cons people into their service is dishonest and deceiving. Your customer service is rude and terrible. I will not recommend and never use again. In fact, it’s just WRONG.

The installer ADT sent from SecurityAlarmNow constantly tried to upgrade. He drilled 2 holes that could not be used and put in a poor patch that he said 'I could paint over'. I was due a $100 VISA gift card that I could claim 90 days after install. I needed a contract copy which was never sent. I called 4 times to get the contract and found that SafeStreetUSA now owns SecurityAlarmNow. I was handled very rudely by the agents, they told me they had 'no control' over the contract document, I could not talk to a manager, they had no contact with ADT....Finally I contacted ADT by going through their corporate website and got their customer service line. I was sent my contract. Now the adventure begins to see if my rebate arrives.
Description of Work: I had a security upgrade done to a system previously installed in my home

The transition went well and we have no complaints. We had a serious alarm situation and the call center agent was fantastic. The absolute best!!! I have read a number of dissatisfied customers and recommend you work with ADT directly.

Installation went fine. The guys stayed late to get the install done. Gave us adequate instructions to use the system. I was not crazy about paying a second party extra fees to be the broker and now I find that my on site service is through a second party. I thought I would be serviced by ADT. After a couple of weeks the dogs set off the glass break alarm via a dog door or barking. Police came out, false alarm. I called ADT to get someone to come out and adjust the sensitivity. I got worried when they said I should get a call within 24 hours from the service company " Protect Your Home". Then they said if I don't get a call within 24 hours to call them and made sure I got E number. Great, so it's a week later and still no call so I have to make a second call. If I had realized ADT was farming this out I may have went a different way. Also I have one of the sensors on the front door dropping and binding on the door. Not great.
Description of Work: Installed alarm system with glass break sensors, doors, windows, ADT pulse for remote arm and disarm, auto door lock.

I have had to call them to mention the changing of a battery. They have called or sent something mentioning a low battery in the past as well.
Description of Work: They installed an alarm system about 15 years ago and the company was actually under a different name at that time. They do monthly monitoring.

I currently have ADT at my home in Virginia, and recently purchased a home in Kentucky. The home already had a very old security system with Pinnacle, but I couldn't get them to answer the phone, so I decided to switch. ADT offered what I thought was a good deal, and was very accomodating to do a Saturday afternoon install. The technician arrived right on time, did a walk through of the house and started figuring out the placement of what I had ordered over the phone when I signed up. We were moving in at the same time that he was there, but he worked around us. He was quite a talker, and probably could have finished the job faster, but as it was he finished in a couple hours which worked for me. The only downside, and the reason for the B overall and on price, is because of all the up-selling the technician did (who also was clearly a salesman). After he analyzed my house, his proposal was to add additional equipment and sensors to the tune of $1600, most of which I found to be absolute overkill. So I took him back to square one, which is what I ordered over the phone. Then I decided to add some window sensors, which he did work the price down on. In the end, I'm happy with where we ended up, and the technician did a professional job on the install and training. Just a little frustrating getting a sales pitch in my living room when I thought I had already agreed on what I had bought. But overall, I would recommend ADT and would use them again.
Description of Work: Installed new home security system.

I would advise people to use a local provider and not a national chain. Our alarm is spotty in terms of use. It often goes off for no apparent reason. ADT is of no help is resolving the situation.

Very pleased with overall installation and monitoring with ADT. When calling ADT they seemed to be very knowledable, professional and efficient.
Description of Work: Called ADT to get estimate on home security. Made appointment for the next day. Installer was prompt and on time. Courtious and professional gentlemen came and estimate was given and agreement was made for installation. Installation was immediate and performed in a couple of hours and as installer left home was secured.

The installer explained everything and was very quick in installing the system and checking it out. You can access the system remotely through the web or IPhone or Ipad in case you forget to arm it or if there is an alarm you can see which sensor it is.
Description of Work: I purchased the ADT Pulse system as I do not have a land line for phone. Added in motion detection as well as door and window sensors.

It's hard to say anything about ADT because when I got it the initial equipment came free as long as I let them put a sign in my yard for 2 years, but they do their own wiring and clean up their messes. But in terms of the actual maintenance stuff I haven't run into much because other than us setting off the alarm a couple of times accidently you don't know they are there which to me is the mark of a good security company. If the system is installed right and it's working properly you shouldn't know that they are there. I like it because if we need to keep track of what the kids are doing we can fix it so that every time they open an outside door we know somebody is coming in or out. You can do that and it would alert you and I like that about it. It runs quietly in the background and we don't know it. They were fast when we accidently set off the alarm and called my cell phone because no one was home. I think they are very good and they bill me automatically so I don't even have to deal with the bill. I think monitoring for fire and medical and break-ins and stuff for a $1 a day is reasonable.
Description of Work: I've had an ADT alarm for years and I think it was installed in 2005. During the time I got it I had an elderly parent at home and I actually had a medical alert on his key fob because he wouldn't wear a necklace. A year ago we set off the medical alert and didn't realize that my niece had my dad's fob and we couldn't figure out why the alarm kept going off and they came out to check it and reprogrammed it and we haven't had any problems since.

I called and enquired about replacements and they scheduled the appointment and had someone come out and do it. He arrived at the appointment time and did what he was supposed to do and went away. It was a relatively no fuss operation. My overall experience is positive. The batteries were covered on my agreement and I had to pay them just a small fee of about $25.
Description of Work: I use ADT Security Services for replacing the batteries of some of my detectors.

Their service was excellent but the installation was not so good. It took longer than they thought it would take. That was not really a problem but they accidentally knocked out our internet. That made me lose two hours worth of work because I work from home. They did not accept that it was their fault.

So far, we like them fine. The only complaint that we have is that they exaggerated a lot on their TV commercial about the number of monitoring units that you get. We didn't get nearly the 15 that they said would be included in the installation special. The pricing is average.

Service was OK, contract was a scam, customer service is typical in repeating the company's policies. Maybe its the policies that need to change with the times.
Description of Work: Don't sign their contract. I was an ADT customer for over 15 years, then because we no longer use land lines we wanted to cancel. OUr system needed a land line to phone in any issues to police or ADT or fire. When I called to cancel I was told that I would be billed another month for service that we cannot use and $135 for the contract cancellation. Our contract renewed supposedly when we upgraded the system 2 1/2 years ago and, even though we were very long term customers, they won't let the 6 months go. I really think this is a back-end scam and know other people who have experienced the same gouge to get free of them. This looks like potential class action suit like Verizon Wireless experienced with its cancellation policies. They lost millions in the suit for the exat same contractual behavior.

I found them on Angie's List. I looked at their feedback and at that time and maybe still they were the only security service with a good rating. That had a great deal to do with me choosing them. The salesman that came out was very professional. There was absolutely no pressure of any kind, which I really appreciated. He was very patient and I just liked his approach. I am very happy with my system. He gave me a piece of mind. I was burglarized before. It was terrible and I certainly didn't want to go through that again. When they installed it, they showed me how it worked. That guy was extremely patient with me and just very thorough. I was very impressed with everything. I think their price was fair. It wasn't great. I know people do phone solicitations and door-to-door solicitations and they offer you the equipment for free. I didn't want that. I just wanted to make sure I was dealing with someone locally. I would recommend them and I would hire them again in the future.
Description of Work: ADT Security Services came out in August and installed a security system and also a fire alarm. They are a nationwide company, but I contacted their local franchise on Fortune Drive.

I could not believe that they did exactly what my husband wanted them to do. John, he was just great. That was his name. My husband did not think that they would be able to do this because he would have to go through the walls. He did just that. He went through the attic wall and down to the basement. That was exactly what we wanted. We are now having them monitor our service monthly.
Description of Work: DAT installed two keypads, a voice thing for when the front door gets opened; three motion detectors and four doors that are connected to it as well.
