“When we came to Huntsville, we signed on with a local security, Broadview, then ADT bought them. We have outside doors alarm and sensors that if anybody comes in on one of those, ADT will pick up. During installation, their team was on time for the installation of the two new remotes. When I first had ADT, my experience was not so good, but now, I find their service to be excellent. They have improved in the past few years. When I talk to them on the phone, they're really nice and I don’t have any problem. They help me out anytime I need help.”

Huntsville, AL Service Area & Local Process
The ADT Huntsville branch provides professional installation of the ADT Smart Home System throughout Madison County and surrounding areas, including Madison, Decatur, Athens, Owens Cross Roads, and Meridianville. Installation times depend on the home, system configuration, equipment selected, and installation conditions.
North Alabama sits in a high-risk corridor for tornadoes and severe thunderstorms — the April 27, 2011 Super Outbreak was among the most destructive in the region's history — with damaging winds and hail common during storm season. Smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and water and temperature sensors are practical additions for Huntsville homes, where severe storms and winter cold are seasonal considerations. The ADT Smart Home System includes backup battery power to help keep the system powered during a power outage. If internet service is disrupted, cellular backup may help keep the system connected to ADT monitoring, as long as you have an active ADT monitoring plan and cellular service is available.
