What Lexington homeowners ask before they order ADT
LFUCG’s CryWolf permit is $15 a year. Confirm your ZIP. Monitoring is separate from that paperwork.
How do I order ADT in Lexington?
Call (859) 710-8600. A specialist designs the system. SafeStreets installs. ADT monitors 24/7. No contact form.
How much is ADT in Lexington?
Promotional packages start at $53.99/mo for ADT Secure+, then Smart+ $63.99 (most popular), and Complete+ $74.99, with a $99 install on many plans. Ask about the free alarm-system promo ($850 value) on qualifying monitoring*. A new monitoring agreement is required — typically 36 months. Early termination fees apply. Homeowners only.
Do I need an alarm permit in Lexington?
Inside Lexington-Fayette, a monitored system needs a $15 annual alarm user permit through CryWolf. False alarms 1–3 are $0, then $25 / $60 / $125 / $200 / $250 / $300. Unregistered systems are $100 per false alarm. Georgetown deleted its user-permit in 2022 and still fines repeat false alarms. Nicholasville, Versailles, Richmond, Paris, and Winchester: we name that office from your ZIP. We do not invent their fees.
There is a leftover keypad on the wall. Now what?
Photograph it before you pull it off the wall. Many Lexington, Hamburg, and Beaumont resales still have a panel. We can often turn ADT back on instead of starting over. Builder leftover keypads are usually not ADT — those get replaced.
Does monitoring work when KU or the internet is out?
Yes. The system can still reach ADT if Kentucky Utilities power or the Wi-Fi is down. That matters during a summer storm, an ice night, or the hours after a wind event — not after the lights go out.
Are you ADT corporate?
No. SafeStreets is an independent ADT Authorized Provider. SafeStreets sells and installs. ADT provides 24/7 professional monitoring after activation. Home Security Systems Lexington is the local order line.
Do you install around UK basketball or Keeneland?
Yes, when the calendar is open. Rupp nights and Keeneland race weeks empty houses. That is a monitoring problem. Promotional offers are for homeowners, not short-term rentals. Say so on the call.
Do you cover Georgetown and Nicholasville from this line?
Yes, when the ZIP is in coverage. One Lexington order line for Lexington-Fayette plus Georgetown, Nicholasville, Versailles, Richmond, Paris, Winchester, Wilmore, and Midway. We do not mill Pikeville. Confirm the ZIP. We name the earliest window — we do not invent same-day for collar cities.
