Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about switching to Cove.
Cove offers professional 24/7 monitoring at a significantly lower cost ($23/mo vs $55/mo with ADT). Unlike ADT's 36-month contracts, Cove has no contracts—cancel anytime. Cove also includes a lifetime equipment warranty, transparent pricing with no hidden fees, and a 60-day risk-free trial.
The most common reasons are ADT's long contracts with steep termination fees, surprise charges (installation, activation, service calls), and frustrating customer service experiences. Cove addresses all of these with month-to-month pricing, transparent costs, and responsive support.
You can try your complete Cove system for 60 days. If you're not completely satisfied for any reason, return it for a full refund—no questions asked. We'll even pay for return shipping. ADT requires a contract commitment upfront.
Yes. Cove uses professional 24/7 monitoring with cellular backup, so your system stays connected even if Wi-Fi goes down. Our RapidSOS technology sends alerts directly to 911 dispatchers, cutting response times by 3-4 minutes compared to traditional dispatch.
Most customers complete installation in under 10 minutes. Everything arrives pre-programmed—just plug in the hub, place sensors with adhesive strips, and follow the on-screen instructions. No need to schedule a technician or wait at home for an appointment.
No. With Cove, the price you see is the price you pay. There are no installation fees, no activation fees, and no service call charges. If equipment breaks, we replace it free under our lifetime warranty.
Absolutely! Your Cove system is completely portable. When you move, just unplug it, take it with you, and set it up at your new place. No technician visits or reinstallation fees—unlike ADT which typically requires a new installation.
