If you’re motivated by good customer service, Cove will make you all warm and cozy inside. Cove told us its policy is to be “more than fair” with customers. That’s probably why Cove has a whopping 98{470a194d391afe0dcd139ab6e124d2ab766783b27f0c34e59b7fd52773fed158}* customer retention rate. Customers love Cove, and we do too.
On top of offering affordable monthly monitoring prices—that you can get without a contract—Cove makes it painless to cancel if the system isn’t for you. Cove sets you free without punishing penalties and fees, unlike other security solutions that charge 75{470a194d391afe0dcd139ab6e124d2ab766783b27f0c34e59b7fd52773fed158} to 100{470a194d391afe0dcd139ab6e124d2ab766783b27f0c34e59b7fd52773fed158} of your remaining contract.
Cove has some more customer-forward goodies we love:

Standout feature: Cove sets itself apart with something it calls “done-with-me installation.” This combo of pro and DIY lets you install the system yourself, with help.
The touchscreen walks you through installation with large, easy-to-follow illustrations. We’ll take it any day over installation booklets or tiny illustrations on an app.
When it comes to monitoring, the Cove Plus monitoring plan is our pick. It includes video monitoring and smart device integration plus a lifetime extended warranty.
