ADT's monthly fee includes your equipment costs over the course of a 36-month contract; you'll still pay less than what you'd lose if you had a break-in. ADT's most expensive plan comes out to about $2,300 over three years — the average loss from a burglary is around $13,000.

ADT's installation fee is either $99 or $199, depending on the monitoring plan tier you select, so ask specifically about it when requesting a system quote.
ADT has been in business for over 150 years, and it launched the home security business in the United States. In 1874, American District Telegraph connected homes in a Baltimore neighborhood, and ADT has been in operation since.
ADT offers wireless home security equipment that makes it easy for renters because wireless security doesn’t require you to drill into walls.
The best way to set up security if you’re renting is to schedule an in-person consultation where an ADT representative can assess your needs and propose a package designed specifically for your space.
But be aware that ADT’s control panel is usually wired into the wall. And its contracts are a minimum of three years, so you'll need to stick around your current place if you don't want to deal with cancellation fees.
ADT operates its own monitoring centers. Its six monitoring centers means you get the benefit of "redundant monitoring."
Redundant monitoring means that if one center goes down due to a power outage or an extreme weather event, the homes monitored by that center are automatically transferred to another center.
This means you’ll always have the protection of 24/7 monitoring with ADT, even if something happens to take a monitoring center offline.
ADT leases its equipment, but the company doesn’t require customers to return equipment at the end of a contract.
The price of equipment is included in your monthly payment; however, ADT is known to offer special deals that may eliminate the equipment cost when you sign a monitoring contract.
Talk to a representative to find out what deals are available when you set up your ADT home security system.
ADT's average monthly fee is around $55 , with monitoring fees range from $45.99 to $64.99.
Not really. You just need to call the customer service helpline at 800-238-2727. ADT recommends having a copy of your contract nearby when you call. For more information about cancelation fees and other information about canceling, see our quick ADT cancelation guide.
