Hello,
We had a security company install our security system with window contacts on each window and some motion detectors and a glassbreak. They drilled holes in the bottom sills of our new windows (new construction) and now we have at least one leak. I also just found out they voided our window warranty.
The tech came over with my husband and they put silicone around the little "shoulders" of the contacts, but I do not think the tech thinks it's a permanent fix. oI don't know what to do. I am thinking of asking them to replace our new windows and use a different contact.
Some folks I have spoken with say the type of contact, which is a little pin thing that sticks up, is outdated and prone to problems, and that the contacts should have been put in the side of the window, nit the sill where snow can build up and pounding rain can be a problem.
Any ideas of how I should deal with the company?
Thank you!
