I have thought about writing this review since fall 2018 and finally doing so now in 2019. So this…read moreis not angrily written. I have thought about this issue for nearly a year...so this is not an emotional review. I have tried to come up with anything positive to say about NuSystems. I can't. This is another one of those rare nightmare companies that simply take your money and 'not do the job' yet aggressively bill you for it. This firm is so bad it's just not worth arguing with them. Simply, accept the loss and run. To name but a few things. Alarm system. Epic Fail. They installed part of the system prior to my home ownership and I hired them to inspect/test and ensure the system property arms and that everything works. I also added more zones and do much more work. After their work, things got even worse with false alarms and often would not arm. This is not a complex system. After thousands of dollars spend and they system still didn't work property. I gave up and hired another firm to come out and run a diagnostics with me hovering over their shoulders to find out 'what's going on?'. Holy Smokes. NuSystems left me a mess. Of the entire house, only the kitchen door and the downstairs door was actually property coded and would arm. None of the other components that they originally installed and the new stuff I had installed were ever added/coded into the system and however, there was a lot of stuff added but these were all typos. So, maybe they tried to add them, but they didn't check their work...I guess this is why the system didn't work property. It gets worse, every single motion and smoke alarm did not actually communicate with the alarm panel. Motions looked like they worked because when you move in front of it, the green light goes to red and you can trigger the smoke by creating smoke but this did not communicate with the panel to initiate a fire emergency. Ooops! Again, they didn't check their work? Insult to injury, the heat sensor in the garage was non-functional. Never connected either. Also, the outside door that leads to my crawl space in the house to the water system also was never coded into the system either. All in all, only two doors triggered the alarm and that's it. So all the work I paid to have enhanced to the alarm didn't work and their original install also didn't work with the exception of two zones: Kitchen and lower floor door. Ethernet Work. I paid NuSystems to extend CAT6 cables so that they can reach the new Ubiquity UBNT switch. Oh gosh. The technician did not check the wiring and completed the wiring BACKWARDS! Really? This is what NuSystems does... and they couldn't get that right either. Oh yes, gets worse again. They added an additional CAT6 line from the bedroom that snaked through to the kitchen. They took the easy route and instead of using the easy accessible panel to the wall that removes...they decided without asking me to drill through my wood beam and leaving an unsightly hole and then string the wire unprotected through the pantry cabinets. They said they would fix it and many months passed and they ultimate refused to correct their damage to my house. What really gets me, is that even with the alarm fiasco...I was willing to work with them. What broke me is their refusal to fix the damage they caused to my home. They simply wouldn't honor and stand behind their work. This surprised me because their owner David came to my house to work on my phone line and during a hour + conversation at his truck he tried to recruit me to his Jehovah witness church and talked about the importance of honor and integrity...their value system. This didn't bother me because I am fairly open minded but... Maybe not bring your religious convictions to the customer and not follow thru? ooops!

This morning, I had trouble with my ADT pulse application that allows me to control my ADT alarm…read moresystem, including all of my cameras and motion sensors, I got an " offline " error message. I called ADT and the first representative had me do a few procedures, but they weren't successful so she transferred me over to their tech person. A lovely young woman named Heather. took over an and the total time on the phone was an hour and a half to diagnose and fix the problem. Thankfully, I had a problem several months ago and they sent me a box with the new Netgear communication equipment and told me if I had the problem again to change these two things out, 2 Netgear units that plugged in to the electrical outlet and another two cables that went to the gateway system for ADT pulse. my AT&T router is in my office behind a desk and the file cabinet not eadily accessible, and my ADT gateway router was in another room. Trying to diagnose the situation I had to run back back-and-forth between rooms, plugging and unplugging things and quite frankly I will admit I was frustrated and tired . I know I wasn't an easy customer, but Heather was amazing, I kept apologizing because I couldn't hear her well there seem to be a delay between our conversations when I would say something it took a while for her to respond and that was frustrating until I realized I needed to give her more time because of the delay. During the entire process, I will admit I was anxious and impatient because I had an appointment and I wasn't sure if we were ever going to get this thing fixed. Thankfully, with her expertise and patient guidance we were able to fix the problem. I apologized to her for being a difficult customer and she said that's not a problem. We're here to serve and I understand. I hope someone in HR or higher up department. sees this review and makes a notation to her employee file. Her degree of professionalism knowledge and patience was greatly appreciated and I'm back in operation again. Thank you, ADT for your continued excellent customer service.

This review serves as a formal public complaint regarding my experience with ADT and its billing…read morepractices. I was charged for services and/or fees that I did not authorize and that appear inconsistent with my agreement. Despite multiple attempts to resolve the matter through customer service, I have not received a clear explanation, proper investigation, or satisfactory resolution. The responses provided were inconsistent and failed to address the specific billing discrepancies raised. As a consumer, I expect transparency, accurate billing, and good-faith efforts to correct potential errors. Instead, I experienced significant difficulty obtaining accountability or meaningful assistance. Unauthorized or unexplained charges raise serious concerns regarding billing oversight and consumer protection compliance. Unless this matter is promptly reviewed and corrected, I am prepared to pursue further action, including formal complaints with consumer protection agencies and regulatory authorities. I strongly encourage prospective customers to carefully review all contractual terms and closely monitor billing statements when dealing with ADT.

We received an automated phone message that their system was not talking to our alarm, so we no longer were being monitored. When we finally reached a real person, they said we needed to pay a significant amount for a service call to determine the problem, even though they did not know what caused the outage, after working fine for 11 years. We decided to change alarm monitoring companies, finding more service and less expense, and since Mountain Alarm has raised their rates 22% from 2019. Since we were required to pay in advance, we asked for reimbursement for the time their services were not provided due to the unknown technical issue, but they refused. We requested a call from the GM or Supervisor, but just heard back from the person who answers the phone, with a bullshit rationale for why they were keeping our money that they did not earn. We suggest that management needs to either be accessible or empower their employees to make customer service a priority. Don't get caught by excessive charges after you sign up for their alarm monitoring, Mountain Alarm is not the highly ethical Burgarello anymore!!
