False alarms led to penalty from the City

Hello, since installing the home security system in June 2024, we've been facing frequent false alarms (20+ times from June to August). In most instances we were able to either cancel the alarm on the phone, or inform the call center that it was a false alarm. However, the false alarm happened 4x while we were traveling that eventually resulted in penalties from the City. We tried to call several times but was told that Comcast is not responsible for the penalty charges. Then who should be? We are paying for the service, got no protection but a large penalty bill. Is this how you should treat your customers?

user_tfucx5 That does sound frustrating it sounds like some of your sensors may need to be adjusted. I would recommend reaching out to our Xfinity home repair team by calling 1-800-Xfinity and asking for home repair if you have not addressed the false alarm issue already with us.

what about the penalty charges? I don't think we as customers should be responsible for it at all.

user_tfucx5 If there is an issue with the equipment on our end that is causing the false alarms there may be something that can be done but I would make sure to get the alerts addressed to ensure they do not continue to happen.
