Bakersfield, CA
“When we got a new house, it was set up for an alarm and we went with ADT. It's the system we've had from as early as 1992. The installation team upgraded the system and everything is working fine. They call me in the event that the alarm goes off and they still can get a hold of me if I were out of town. I've been quite happy and ADT has been good.”

“Very effective alarm service. Never had a break in. Just us setting it off. I recommend this alarm company to anyone. They are easy to contact if you ever have questions. They did a great job on installing. Also, cleaned up after themselves.”

Bakersfield, CA Service Area & Local Process
The ADT Bakersfield branch provides professional installation of the ADT Smart Home System throughout Kern County and surrounding areas, including Oildale, Rosedale, Shafter, Wasco, and Delano. Installation times depend on the home, system configuration, equipment selected, and installation conditions.
The southern San Joaquin Valley regularly sees triple-digit summer heat, the Kern River can bring flood risk during heavy runoff, and the region is seismically active — the 1952 Kern County earthquake remains one of California's largest. Smoke and carbon monoxide detectors along with water and temperature sensors are practical additions for Bakersfield homes facing summer heat, flood, and seismic risk. 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.
