Response from ADT Security Services
Hello Mr. [Member Name Removed]. I apologize for your experience. It does not appear the services you acquired was through this local ADT office. We've located your account and see that you acquired your services through an ADT authorized dealer, Defender Security. Also known as Protect Your Home. A dealer is an independently owned and operated company, not owned by ADT. If you still have any billing related concerns with the install, please contact Defenders at 1-800-689-9554. Thank you. -Andrew

Description of Work: Over a week ago we had lightening hit our house. After we got power back on our alarm system started going off and wouldn't shut off. We had to call ADT and they had no record that our alarm was even going off. We then had to schedule a time for someone to come and fix our system. The earliest they could get a technician out here was 10 days later between 12 and 3. On the day of our appointment they called us at 2 o'clock to tell us they wouldn't be able to send anyone that day. We still don't know when anyone will be out here to fix it and when you call in to try to talk to someone you get put through a long voice activated system with incredibly long hold times. I would not recommend using this company their customer service is horrible if you have a problem!!

We apologize for this customers experience. We located his account and reached out to assist him. In doing so, we waived the labor associated with service appointment. Because lightning damage is not covered by maintenance, the customer was to be accountable for parts being replaced. A month credit was also placed on the customers account as well. Thank you. -Andrew

The entire experience was unpleasant and I felt like just another tick on their customer list instead of like an actual person. Also, because I didn't have any credit history (good or bad), my only option was to get a parent to sign on the account with me, or pay an entire 3 years worth of service up front in addition to the installation fees. Absolutely abysmal service.
Description of Work: It was a hassle just to get pricing details, then setting up an install was unbelievably difficult. I could only speak to people working in a call center (no idea where it was even located) and in order to get other information and speak to them again, I had to call back and had no chance of speaking to the same representative. Because of how the call center was set up, the representative I was speaking with wasn't able to call me back even though I had literally just given them my number. To cancel my set-up (I decided to use ADS instead), I had to speak with ~3 different people and explain that they did not have competitive pricing or service. At the end of the call, the supervisor told me that he regretted that I wasn't able to go with the "best" security system and wished me luck with my sub-par choice. All of this was done in a very sardonic and condescending tone of voice.

We're sorry to hear about the customers poor experience. We certainly would like to look into what took place on that day. If the customer would like to provide their contact information to customerconcerns@adt.com, we will look into the recorded calls to provide any coaching as needed, to improve our customer service.

Very well, and we got some piece of mind back.
Description of Work: We suspected our house alarms were not recognized by the central monitoring service. A maintenance tech was dispatched. The tech noted we have a smoke alarm that pings to central monitoring monthly. He called central monitoring and they verified successful pings in Sept and Oct, proving the communication was working. We then tested the system, sent a regular alarm (open door) and panic-code alarm. Both alarm signals were recieved by central monitoring.

The sales person that came out was very friendly and very personable. The man who did the installation was really nice too. He was someone you wouldn't mind having in your house for an extended period of time.
Description of Work: They came in and asked what we needed done, then came back and installed security sensors for the downstairs.

I have been pleased with the service this company has given me so far. They have never failed me and when we had a false alarm, they were right there on the spot to check and make sure that everything was okay. The price is a good one and I will continue to use them.
Description of Work: They monitor my entire home, from my windows to the doors and garage. They gave us motion sensors and we have a new control box. This is part of a monthly service contract.

The work took a total of four visits, due to mistakes committed by the first two of the three technicians. The first technician activated the system but broke one of the sensors. A second technician returned to replace the sensor, but failed to install it properly. He returned but was unable to diagnose the problem. The third technician was the best; he immediately knew how to take care of the problem and also improved upon the work of the first two technicians. Subsequently, the alarm has been trouble free. I have given a C for quality of work: this is an average of an F for the first two and an A for the last tech. The company was very responsive to my requests for repairs and technicians showed up on time. Some wiring and a tool were left behind by the first two techs. All of them were courteous. If I was to hire ADT for future work I would specifically request the third technician.
Description of Work: We had a previously installed home security system re-activated. This involved a small amount of re-wiring and addition of a cellular communication system.

ADT had originally put the alarm in and came back eight months later and said the parts I needed no longer are made. No personal attention, just too big of a company. Really hard to work with.
