“We have had ADT for over 10 years now. We had a break-in in our attached garage and only a St. Anthony medal in our car was taken. That's when we realized we needed a whole house protection. ADT installed a complete system with remotes and an auxiliary control panel in the upstairs master bedroom. The system detected several attempted break-ins that scared the burglar each time. We love our system and feel completely safe. The system also detects fire and smoke. We love having a system that calls us when we are away. ADT gives us full peace of mind when we are home or away.”

“ADT is a great company. I feel like it's a great value for the money. I appreciate the help from customer service, whenever I call to ask any question. They are understanding of my needs and I feel that I get a good value for my money. The added security and benefit of the app and the convenience of using it anywhere are great for my busy lifestyle.”

“ADT is excellent and we're very happy with them as our security system. We've had them for so long. Anytime we've had a problem, they've been very helpful. I've screwed up turning it on a couple of times and they call and get me squared away. We used to go to Arkansas and that was the only time we would put it on. But then we had break-ins in Brookfield, our very nice suburban area, so we put it on every time we leave and even at night. ADT is a sense of security for us. We've not had any problems with people breaking in.”

Madison, WI Service Area & Local Process
The ADT Madison branch provides professional installation of the ADT Smart Home System throughout Dane County and surrounding areas, including Sauk, Columbia, and Jefferson counties. Installation times may vary depending on the home’s size and the number of devices configured.
Madison’s location in south-central Wisconsin means homeowners contend with both severe winter cold and spring-through-summer storm seasons. 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. Water and temperature sensors are a practical addition for Madison homes, where winter pipe freeze risk and spring snowmelt flooding create seasonal considerations, particularly in low-lying areas near the Yahara River chain of lakes.
