We all want safer homes. Whether you’re worried about break-ins while you’re out of town, want to keep your kids safer, or limit the danger of house fires, as a homeowner, you’ve likely thought about installing or upgrading an automated home security system.
However, it can be hard to get the security you need without being locked into a long-term contract with one of the big providers. ADT, in particular, is very good at selling its services and does a good job of working fast to install and activate its off-the-shelf systems.
Disadvantages of Using ADT
Unfortunately, all that convenience comes with some serious strings attached. ADT customers usually find out too late that they’re tied into a minimum three-year contract. As the biggest provider of both equipment and “proprietary” equipment, it’s also able to charge higher prices to its tied-in customers.
And, all that industry clout means that once installed, ADT has little incentive to provide effective customer service or fix its existing equipment in a hurry.
That may all sound like bad news, especially if you have already signed on the line. However, it turns out that ADT alarm systems are not exclusively proprietary, and the company is not your only option for effective home security.
Making the Switch from ADT
What do you do if you find yourself in a similar situation? It’s important to understand that you can switch home security companies. In most cases, ADT equipment can be used by other alarm companies, including Security Alarm.
Let us help you save money by utilizing as much of your existing equipment as possible!
Using ADT With Another Security Company
The good news is that, in many cases, your ADT equipment and control panels can be reconfigured or integrated with additional security systems that can be managed more effectively — and more affordably — by another company.
