ADT specializes in locking you into a plan and forgetting about you. Ever hearse of the term "lock in." it's what keeps companies like ADT in business. They're banking on the fact that when you spend so much to have one of these alarm systems installed, it's very difficult and expensive for you to switch to another provider, which means you'll generally remain a customer, no matter how bad the service is. And as others have noted, it is awful. They recently sent a freelance contractor out to replace the wireless system panel in the basement from 3G to a more up-to-date cell communication method. He botched it and a few days later, all the alarms started going off at once. I called ADT and they said they saw nothing wrong on their end and that they could send someone out in a few weeks to take a look. They could literally hear the alarms blaring in the background (the decibel level was horrific, and I had to go around and rip the wires from the units to silence them). Then I kept getting calls from an ADT system over and over saying that there appeared to be something wrong and to call them. A few weeks later a technician came and acknowledged that the guy had screwed up the installation. They redid it. Then recently I had a problem with one of the smoke detectors and a technician came and said I should order replacement batteries from ADT because I was on the free battery replacement plan. This had been the case for years (25 to be exact). But when I called ADT they said the plan did not cover batteries (which cost $18 apiece -- not exactly cheap). Previously, I had spoken to a customer service agent to set up the appointment, and they too said I was covered under the battery plan. So now two representatives from ADT have said I'm covered and one said I was not. How bad is ADT's computer system that you get such different answers? Also, when I do replace batteries myself, the alarm goes off but I don't hear anything from ADT. They used to call to make sure there wasn't a problem. Now, nothing. This company is horrible.

ADT is a terrible company ADT is a terrible company, my cameras never worked, I was paying a lot money just for alarm on my front door. Every time I was calling to see if someone can fix it they told me I have to pay $180 for the services and I have to buy another cameras or monitor. I canceled my membership more than 2 months before the expiration and they didn’t want canceled and continued charging me. I finally got rid of that but they still charge me $34.99 because they told me was not enough the time to cancel it. I’m not recommend this company to nobody because the only thing they are doing is charging more and more money. “Money Hungry “

ADT Solar had no idea what they were… ADT Solar had no idea what they were doing when they entered the Solar business by purchasing Sunpro Solar. Within 2 years they destroyed the best solar company in the US. And pull out of the solar business leaving customers uniformed as to who to contact for questions and services and having to rely on subcontractors for warranty and repairs with no skin in the game and no sense of urgency to take care of the customer.

No moral compass and terrible customer service I read other bad reviews and I totally agree that this company has no moral compass and horrible customer service. I have called so many times and escalated my complaints and it is a joke. They took advantage of my 88 year old mother who has macular degeneration and not able to execute a contract . I put a security system in my mom’s house and I was told it would be about 600.00 . I did add 3 nest cameras. The installer ended up putting in 21 window contacts and totally oversold my mom. I was doing errands locally and I asked him to call me when he was close to finishing. He never called and just left. The installation came to 2700.00 and my mom did not sign a contract. My copy had a black X under her name . I am my mom’s POA and I told him I needed to go over this. He turned in a contract with a forged signature. I started a fraud process 5 months ago and each time they promise to get to the bottom of this. This is such a despicable company that would take advantage of an elderly person that can’t see and has hearing issues and tries to pretend she could sign a contract . I will not give up because of the principle of it. I just wanted to warn others about these contracts- be careful about the oversell and lack of accountability.

In my opinion, ADT Security has not provided the level of security service or administrative service they should. My experience with ADT Security has not provided me with a great deal of confidence in their service, or that they would actually provide the home security and medical emergency services that they claim to provide. They "mistakenly" actually cancelled my security service, then backtracked to claim that I had upgraded the service when I did not. Then they billed me twice "by mistake" once for almost $3,000 once and $700 a second time, when my payments are made automatically billed to my credit card and I have written proof that all payments were made in compliance with my ADT contract. All of this does not inspire confidence that I can depend on ADT for competent help in an actual home security or health emergency. Does anyone from ADT actually read these reviews? Is ADT going to wake up and provide the level of service they claim to? Does ADT actually care about anything besides taking your money from you? Extremely concerned and very disappointed ADT customer
