Why you should have ADT in Your Home:
THE THREAT OF FIRE
- Approximately 1.6 million fires are reported each year.
- Fires cause more than 19,000 deaths and injuries each year.
- Direct property loss due to fire was an estimated $11.3 billion in 2006.
- Cooking equipment fires are the leading cause of residential fires and associated injuries.
THE TRUTH ABOUT CARBON MONOXIDE AND FLOODING
- 18,000 people die every year, and about 100,000 more seek medical attention for accidental carbon monoxide poisoning.
- Most homeowner’s policies do not cover flood damage.
- Property damage from flooding totals more than $1 billion each year in the United States.
DON’T BECOME A STATISTIC
- 1 out of every 5 homes will have a burglary, fire or carbon monoxide poisoning over the next 6 years.
- 9 out of 10 convicted burglars agreed that they would avoid a house protected by an alarm system.
- An alarm system can help make your home 3 times less likely to be burglarized.
- 1 out of every 3 homes will have a medical emergency this year.
How Does the System Work?
VIGILANT. RESPONSIVE. ALWAYS THERE.
- Your ADT monitored security system connects to a comprehensive network of Customer Monitoring Centers.
- ADT monitors your home 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
- ADT monitored fire, carbon monoxide and medical emergency services utilize “Always On” devices even when your burglar alarm is not armed.
- When an alarm is received, ADT can alert the police, fire department or an ambulance even if you’re not home.
HOW ADT MONITORED SECURITY WORKS

A single ADT monitored system can help protect you from burglary, fire and carbon monoxide 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Unlike non-monitored burglar or smoke alarm systems, your ADT monitored system is connected to one of ADT’S 24-hour Customer Monitoring Centers. When an alarm is received, ADT security professionals can alert the police, fire department or an ambulance, even if you’re not home.
