We get a significant number of ADT customers changing to AMCO alarms. Here’s a summary of the x3 main reasons ADT customers swap to AMCO (N.B. swapping from ADT to AMCO is easy - so give it a go!)
AMCO monitoring costs are significantly lower than ADTs. AMCO’s standard monthly charge is £17.99 compared to ADT’s £24.99 to £35.99. And importantly AMCO’s monitoring product is radically different, as AMCO’s alarms come with LiveTalk monitoring (with two-way audio and emergency response if needed)
AMCO’s alarms come with LiveTalk monitoring as standard. LiveTalk is the most advanced form of alarm monitoring on the market, as LiveTalk’s speaker/microphone system when the alarm is activated our monitoring station can immediately listen and talk into the property, and then verify the situation - scaring of burglars and calling in emergency services if required.
ADT are a huge corporate business, which means - sadly - they’re never going to be able to give the personal service that a family-owned company like AMCO can give. To get a sense of the quality of service ADT give, check out ADT’s 2 or 3 star reviews here - compared to AMCO’s 4 or 5 star reviews here.
Here's a quick comparison between AMCO and ADT - to give you a sense of key differentiators . . .
