Happy Customers in the Lancaster Area
Robert
Lancaster, PA
“Thank you so much for your professional concern over the security of my home. When I noticed that there were some weak spots where entrance and burglar access could be breached you came out the very next day to assess the need and the following morning added sensors and a camera to the already high quality system you created for my home.”
Ralph

“Representative was knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. ADT has always been there when I needed advice on the system. Would highly recommend ADT to anyone interested in a home security system. I do not know what I would do without ADT at my side when home security is the issue.”

Lancaster, PA Service Area & Local Process
The ADT Lancaster branch provides professional installation of the ADT Smart Home System throughout Lancaster County and surrounding areas, including Elizabethtown, Columbia, Strasburg, and Quarryville, with coverage also extending to York and Harrisburg. Installation times depend on the home, system configuration, equipment selected, and installation conditions.
Central Pennsylvania experiences severe thunderstorms in spring and summer, along with occasional flooding near the Susquehanna River and Conestoga River. Water and temperature sensors are a practical addition for Lancaster County homes, where creek flooding and winter freeze risk create year-round environmental monitoring needs.
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.
