Their equipment and service is garbage Their equipment is garbage, customer service not much better. You can’t understand what 1/2 of them are staying and whenever there is an equipment issue, they just pass you off to another associate who also can’t help and so you get passed to someone else and on and on! It’s a joke!

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.

WONDERFUL CUSTOMER SERVICE! Today April 4,2024 I spoke to an ADT tech named Matthew. He was so amazing. We had a service call for our cameras this morning; however, the notifications on my phone was not fixed. So I called ADT and spoke to Matthew. A WONDERFUL KIND RESPECTFUL GENTLEMAN WHO KNEW HIS STUFF. HE DID NOT MISS A BEAT AND MY NOTIFICATIONS ARE RIGHT ON!!! If I could I would give him a million stars. It took him a while but he never got tired of helping me. Thats what you call GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE! THANK YOU MATTHEW. PENNY MADDOX SMITH SHELBY NC.

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 “

This company is absolutely horrible… This company is absolutely horrible never sign up with them. Their service is impossible to cancel. The phone agents openly lie about their ability to cancel things and claim they need to send you to another department. Then they basically hope you will give up after a couple hours on hold. Their price has increased steadily for the past several years and it is flat out not worth it anymore. When exploring security companies overlook this one and go another you will be doing yourself a bit favor.
