We have had a great experience with Alarm Detection Systems. We have been a customer for years. Alarm Detection Systems really does care about its customers. Recently our carbon monoxide detector needed to be replaced. Our technician, Russ, offered to change all of our smoke and sensor batteries while in our home too. Russ and Alarm Detection Systems provides very thoughtful and professional service.

Bigger isn't always better. Thinking largest market share holder might be the way to go when upgrading our system, we did. However and fortunately, we weren't locked in because I cancelled the service on the last day possible. One of the new smoke detectors was faulty. Information on equipment needed wasn't accurate. I was dealing with a provider. Customer service was dismal. Despite being offered a substantial savings to remain with them, we chose ADS instead. Want the most responsive, best personal care and customer service? Use ADS! Should you have an issue, ADS will take care of you.We continue to be pleased with the excellent customer service, tech support and technicians. Thanks, ADS!

He went out of his way to make many changes to the network to make our system work. Our Alarm system was not operating properly and now appears to be at peak performance. We are particularly pleased that ADS has such capable people working for them and for keeping their customers safe from intrusion. Excellent. Vern Diedrick- Customer

ADS is a local company that we have used for fifteen years or so now. In that time we have had maybe a dozen alarms (all accidental, thankfully) and their response has always been perfect! Their service is excellent. They do all of the work themselves, no subcontractors to worry about. We have always been more than satisfied and recommend this company to anyone contemplating installing a full service alarm system.

I purchased a laundry and dry cleaning business in 2006, Alarm Detection Systems, Inc was the servicer for this business and it was a month to month contract until the equipment started acting up. I called them to fix the issue because the alarms kept going off. They came to check the system several times throughout a 2 month period and kept trying to sign me up to a long term contract when I told repeatedly I’m not looking for a long term contract because I’m selling the business soon. One day I had a personal matter to attend to and my brother filled in for me, same day a schedule appointment was set, they came over and check the equipment and made my brother sign a 7 year contract with my name on it. I told them that’s not my signature and the contract should be null and void. They said if my brother committed fraud then have him arrested. I told them I’m the owner and he’s not no matter what I didn’t sign the contract and he was under the impression this was only to authorize the scheduled visit to inspect the triggers. I called and sent letters but they did not want to void the contract. I completely stopped paying because I feel what they did was very unprofessional and deceptive because I told them many times I don’t need a long term and why the heck would I need one if I’m on a month to month, it doesn’t make any sense. They ended hiring an attorney to file a suit. I sold the business shortly after and forced to pay them off through the sale. I strongly recommend you go elsewhere. The worst experience I’ve ever had to deal with. The company should be shut down. Why did it take me 12 years to write this review? Well I came across the folder with the contract and all the issues that arose at that time and felt this should not be something I let go. I wanted to let everyone know exactly what they did. By the way because of the contract and me selling a month later I had to pay for a 7 year contract which costed me with attorney fees $4500. Please please for your own good stay away from these crooks.

Have been with this family owned security company for nearly 15 years so it’s a fine time to honestly rate them. This company has been responsive, accountable and reliable. Their staff are well trained and have a 1:1 professional approach with clients. Such a company is difficult to find in today’s business climate.

ADS was on their toes for our alarm system when they advised that the signal back to their control station was lost. We had a new router installed and somehow the connection to ADS was lost. A service rep called immediately to check the problem? Not being able to rectify the problem over the phone they dispatched a service tech the next day. Within a half hour the service tech had the problem fixed and we were back on line with ADS. If ADS had not been pro active who knows how long our service would have been out?Great phone service, great on site tech.Thank you ADS and keep up your good work.

We were considering a number of DIY home security options. At the end of the day, we felt more comfortable dealing on a personal level with local people we could trust. With the support of our friend John Spooner at Alarm Detection Systems, Heather Guthrie-Walkowiak came to our home, took us through our security options, and set us up with a package that served our needs without blowing up our budget. Then Heather got us scheduled quickly for our home install. Skip and Glenn put in a full day's hard work in getting our system installed and online. Once the install was completed, Heather and Skip made us comfortable in explaining how to operate our new home security system. All in all, we could not have asked for more from the total service experience we had with Alarm Detection Systems. Considering all the time and effort they put in from consultation to completion, I am so grateful that I did not try to DIY our home security. There is no way I could have set up anything like the system we have now, and we would not have had the service and support we get from ADS. We would not hesitate to continue to recommend ADS to our friends who are considering home security installation.

Last week I had some Internet communication issues with my ADS Alarm system and contacted phone support. The Tech was great, extremely knowledgeable, and very patient while he walked me through some trouble shooting steps over the phone. We were unable to resolve the communication problem and schedule a service call for the next day. ADS Service Tech arrived as promised and even called 20 minutes prior to showing up. When Mark arrived we immediately had the problem fixed, tightened up some loose wires that had been moved during a remodel job last year in the basement, and checked the entire system, in and out in under an hour. Mark was pleasant and very professional. Great job!

This company has provided services to our organization for a number of years and I would like to emphasize a number aspects. To begin with, they are very reliable. Whenever, we need technical support they are always available and there are no surprises nor additional charges which truly demonstrates that this company is reputable and operated by honest people. Additionally, their staff is very friendly, professional, and have a high sense of initiative. For instance, when they send a technician to inspect the alarm they place major effort in sending the same technician. This is quite valuable, since he is already familiar with our system and gets the job done much more efficiently and effectively. Specifically, I would like to emphasize Navil who s truly a valuable asset for Alarm Detection Systems. He is always very approachable, professional , and knowledgeable. Considering these and many other aspects it would be a pleasure to recommend Alarm Detection Systems either for business or residential consumers. Thank You!

Also, I have to mention that as soon as the work was done I received an email outlining everything which was very useful.

Had (fortunately) a false fire alarm. I had ADS come out to clean all 9 units. Afterwards, upon looking up when hard wired units should be replaced, it appears that 10 years is suggested. Since they were close to 15 years old, decided to replace all of them. Since ADS had come out and cleaned them, they replaced all the units for only the cost of each unit...no additional labor charge! Technician was very conscientious and aligned units so that old paint marks did not show. Very happy with ADS

ADS has been "my" security company for both home and business for many years. They are reliable, prompt and stand behind their work. Just had a keypad replaced that was not working properly. Technician was on time, professional and friendly. I highly recommend ADS for anyone needing a security system.

I selected ADS to protect my mother's home and my home after my experience with them at my employer before I retired from my position as Office Manager. My company had numerous issues with the security system for a couple of years, so our maintenance and executive team brought in ADS. Fixed. Done. Their sales and tech team have been just great for me too (installed 3 years ago). Highly recommended. Really.

I'm employed for RiverPlace Condominiums, the service tech came into our facility. He checked out our equipment, conducted himself in a professional manner. After completing his checks responded back to me with his finding, then left to go onto another job. I felt he was knowledgeable and would recommend this company.

I have used ADS for all of our Commercial Alarms needs for about a year. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. If you have a specific system they will, most likely, have the right tech. I have been impressed with the quick response, and thorough troubleshooting. Great Company, and Staff.

I have been with Alarm Detection Services going on 16 years. Over that time, I have had some false alarms and even had the police show up on one occasion.From the beginning with sales and installation every person we came in contact with was friendly, knowledgeable and quick to respond.Since, we have had to have routine service calls and again the service was excellent from customer service to the technician who was sent on the call. Every error made on our part was answered quickly with friendly responses.I would highly recommend ADS to family and friends with no reservations.

I recently experienced a system issue with one of the zones being monitored by ADS. I could not tell whether the system was working or the battery to the system panel was out. When I called ADS, the customer service representative was very professional and helpful. She answered all of my questions, and served as first level of support to resolve the problem. After it was determined that I needed technical support, I was provided with some information I should have available when I called Tech Support. Tech Support was similarly professional and tried to resolve my issue remotely, but I was still going to need someone to come to the premises to investigate further. Eduardo (Eddie) arrived during the timeframe that I was scheduled for. He showed me his badge and introduced himself. Eddie was also very professional. He identified the issue and was very thorough in explaining the problem and resolving it. He tested the areas after fixing them, and he also updated our records. He identified areas where changes were made and let me walk through the changes with him twice. All work was completed within an hour. From the first phone call to the repair, the service was 5-star quality (5 out of 5 starts). Thank you ADS for giving us a sense of relief to know that our home is secure.

Milo never makes me feel like an idiot for asking a million questions and he always makes sure I'm completely satisfied and understand the issue he came out to handle. Thank you for all your help and the extra attention you provide to dummies like myself.

My facility has used ADS for quite a few years now and are very pleased with them. ADS always makes sure we get inspected on time and that everything works properly. When their techs come for an inspection, they work quietly and efficiently in the background and you don't realize they are their until they announce the audible alarm test. Highly recommended

Our alarm system went into warning mode on 12/27, and I called ADS for assistance. They scheduled a skilled technician to come out that very same afternoon who was able to explain and correct the problem. We have had a great experience with ADS over the years in terms of reliability, professional service, and a sense of protection of and safety within our home. We would highly recommend this company to others.

Our company has used Alarm Detection Systems for many years. They are always very responsive. Our most recent system check up indicated problems with the alarm and the technician, Ryan, was very helpful in answering questions, and letting us know what we need to do to get it fixed.

My company uses Alarm Detection Systems for providing and monitoring our security system. Recent we had an issue with our security pad. I placed a call to ADS and explained the issue. A service tech was sent out the same day. Ray Kostalek was very helpful and courteous. He took the time to ask questions about the issue and offered multiple solutions. I am very pleased with the job he did.

I had an issue with my alarm system. ADS had someone to my house that day. Antonio was very polite and explained everything he was doing. Awesome customer service! And the call center staff members are amazing as well. I have set my own system off a few times and I can expect there phone call within 20 seconds. I recommend ADS to anyone looking for security or fire system. They do exactly what they say they are going to do (and sometimes even more).

This was one of the very best experiences I have ever had with a vendor/supplier.First, David was on time and presented with a positive attitude both toward being at our facility and in general. He became aware that I had a "list" of items which I needed to go over with him and continued with the positive response of "we will take care of it!" With this in mind, he also knew he would be unable to meet his next client and made arrangements for them. Wow!! David was devoted to our facility yet showing his dedication to the next!David took as much time as necessary to bring me up to speed regarding things I needed to be aware of with our alarm and sprinkler systems. He was prepared with proper signage required to be posted/updated and was instrumental in helping me to understand rules and regulations he addresses. Bottom line here, I had David's undivided attention and he got me through every issue I had listed. David left having provided me with valuable information including additional contact information for future needs. I cannot say enough about ADS and their incredible representative, David. Thank you all for making my day stress free and pleasant!Alice A. Banks, Safety ManagerArena Americas, Hodgkins, IL

I have had Alarm Detection Systems for many years and am extremely pleased with the company. When there is a problem and I call them, a technician shows up immediately to check what is going on. When by mistake while the house is alarmed, somebody opens a door and the alarm goes off, they call immediately to see if everything is okay. Many of the times we get a technician by the name of Tony who is outstanding and his service is beyond the call of duty. We always get explanations from the people who come to the house about what is going on and what is the most impressive, is how fast the company reacts to any call and needs we express. I recommend this company highly to anybody that would like to have a security system installed.

Good luck if you hire these amateurs to protect your home. I had a false alarm at my property which I immediately disengaged. Minutes after alarm had been disengaged I called Alarm Detection Services and was placed on hold. After waiting on hold for several minutes, I had to hang up and call again. At this point, I already had local fire department at my front door which I will be billed for accordingly. When I called Alarm Detection back a THIRD time, I was told I would have to wait until tomorrow to speak with a manager. When manager finally did call me he had no recollection of a rep coming out a couple weeks earlier to provide an assessment of our system. Eventually manager handed me off to tech support because I could no longer engage system after false alarm. I'm pretty sure my smoke alarm is defective. The tech trying to help could not figure out problem and said my only option would be to bring out a service technician to troubleshoot at $265 for one hour. No thanks. All I want to know now is how soon can I switch security providers.

Very happy with service provided by ADS and specifically their service representative Paul Torres (#1052). Paul came to our house late in the day to see if he could schedule the no-cost upgrade to our radio since they had been unable to reach us via phone. I asked if he could perform the upgrade right away that evening. He checked his parts in the truck and was able to perform the upgrade without scheduling a future appointment. There were a few hiccups and it took about 45-60 minutes, but he kept a great attitude and was very respectful during his visit. Thanks!

We are very pleased with the service from ADS from the meeting with the sales team, to the installation, and now with the monitoring team. Everyone has been very professional, nice and easy to work with. They were able to meet all of the requests that were important to us, and did so effortlessly. Other security companies were very rigid and not very honest in some cases. But ADS is proving to be an excellent choice and we are glad that we chose them.

I contacted Rodger Plant of ADS to have him contact the office manager of a business I was remodeling. I needed their alarm company to move an alarm head and the company they used didn't even respond to their calls. Rodger contacted the office manager, got the account transferred to ADS and had the alarm head moved before the other company even returned the call. Not only is ADS a great company, Rodger is a great rep! Thanks again for keeping my project moving forward.

I have worked with many companies and this by far is one of the BEST companies to work with. Every time I call for service they respond in a quick, friendly manner. (It's so nice to talk to a live person and not an automatedsystem.) From tech support, (shout out to Ricky Soto, John Kile, Nikki Gray and all the other guys who do an excellent job) to install and repairs, I've never had a bad experience. Always professional, always friendly and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure that they meet the needs of our company. Thank you ADS!!!

Our window cleaning business switched to ADS after years of using another alarm company. They have done a great job being professional and quick to respond to any of our needs at the shop.One thing I love as the owner is the U Link app on my phone. I can monitor when the employees come and go to pick up equipment and supplies. It has helped make my life so much easier.With the upgraded system and the U Link app, our company now pays almost Half the Price of the other alarm company. We highly recommend ADS for business or home alarm needs.

Great company, great people.I first came across Alarm detection systems two years ago, and have nothing but good things to say. Everyone I speak to there is prompt, knowledgeable and friendly, with a HUGE emphasis on customer service.Our contact, Roger, is a former police officer, and when he talks about security needs and options, it really feels like a true consultation, not just a sales pitch.Can't recommend these guys enough.

We are a small business in Elgin, IL, and having great people help make your life and work easier is a wonderful thing. We just switched from another alarm company for our office to ADS, and it could not have been easier! Heather came out to our office for an estimate, and she was absolutely stellar, nice and great to work with. Our installation was very quick and clean. And we absolutely love having the Total Connect App on our phones - What a great and convenient tool. We even saved money on the deal.Bottom line: Great company to work with and we look forward to many years with you - Thank you all at ADS!

I was looking for a security system for my home. I wanted a local company, not a large global company. I did a lot of research and spoke to a few of my neighbors. I landed on Alarm Detection Systems. My neighbors raved about the company and how personal the service was. After having the system installed, I came to understand why my neighbors thought so highly of the company. Should I ever have the need to contact them, I always get a live person. Not an automated system that you get lost in! They have handled all of my questions with speed and efficiency. Kevin Carroll was our salesman. He answered ALL of my questions and was very thorough. This is how I expect a company and customer service to be! Thank you ADS for making us feel secure in our home and being there for us ALWAYS!!!!!

I switched to Alarm Detection and couldn’t be happier. The first person I met was Janita Schmitz. She is so full of energy and so passionate about her industry and Alarm Detection. She was very thorough about the process. She assured me I would always speak to a live person when I called (unlike my previous security company) and she was so right! The hook up was quick and easy.In today’s world there is nothing more refreshing then having a question, calling the company, and immediately speaking to a “real person”.The staff at Alarm Detection are all excellent! From start to finish everyone is so professional, friendly, and courteous. Thank you, Janita and Alarm Detection, for protecting my business and my home.

We met with Heather Walkowiak of Alarm Detection Systems for our home. She showed up on time in fact she was 10 minutes early. She was extremely patient with us and did not push product or services we did not need. The installation was quick and the installer was very professional, and polite. He explained and showed me how to use the security system. He cleaned up after he was finished. I would highly recommend ADS and Heather Walkowiak. Thank You Again Heather for all your help!

I asked for the explainatation from the company, vice president Robert alias bob came to my store and said even if the alarm would had gone off made no difference or stopped robber from stealing and laughed... and told me to tell my lawyer to call him. I was very disappointed and was surprised by his attitude and laugh. The cop were the one who found the business broken into instead of alarm system.

Incompetent. We had a mandatory inspection in May. I know where my alarms are and had to direct them to each of them. We made sure they tested all the correct alarms before they left and I was still given a notice saying I had to be present during my holiday weekend to be here for them to get what they missed. Please train your employees correctly so this doesn’t have to happen again.

Bigger isn't always better. Thinking largest market share holder might be the way to go when upgrading our system, we did. However and fortunately, we weren't locked in because I cancelled the service on the last day possible. One of the new smoke detectors was faulty. Information on equipment needed wasn't accurate. I was dealing with a provider. Customer service was dismal. Despite being offered a substantial savings to remain with them, we chose ADS instead. Want the most responsive, best personal care and customer service? Use ADS! Should you have an issue, ADS will take care of you.

Suggestion what could get better….Try some Customer Service. We have been a customer for over ten years, and I think ADS has become complacent. Left two messages and no one called me back. After calling multiple times finally reach someone. I got the sense I was interrupting her day. My overall experience was not good on a scale of 1 to 10 they score a “2”. I could go on and on but will stop here. if anyone wants my opinion please reach out. I’m pretty sure ADS is not the only fire monitoring and inspection company in Naperville.

ADS is a local company that we have used for fifteen years or so now. In that time we have had maybe a dozen alarms (all accidental, thankfully) and their response has always been perfect! Their service is excellent. They do all of the work themselves, no subcontractors to worry about. We have always been more than satisfied and recommend this company to anyone contemplating installing a full service alarm system.
