to closing. Due to the effects of time on paint and wallpaper, as well as possible dye lot variations,
touch-ups are unlikely to match the surrounding area.
Please note: we do not repair drywall flaws that are only visible under particular lighting
conditions.
Related Warranty Repairs
If a drywall repair is needed as a result of poor workmanship (such as blisters in tape) or another
warranty-based repair (such as a plumbing leak), it is completed by touching up the repaired area
with the same paint that was on the surface when the home was delivered. If more than one-third
of the wall is involved, we will repaint the wall corner to corner. You are responsible for custom
paint colours or wallpaper that has been applied subsequent to closing. The effects of time on
paint and wallpaper, as well as possible dye lot variations, mean touch-up may not match the
surrounding area.
Electrical System
Homeowner Use and Maintenance Guidelines
Know the location of the electrical breaker panel; it includes a main shut-off that controls all the
electrical power to the home. Individual breakers control the separate circuits. Each breaker is marked
to help you identify which breaker is connected to which major appliance, outlets, or other service.
Should a failure occur in any part of your home, always check the breakers in the main panel box.
Main Electric Breaker Panel
An electrical breaker panel provides the main shutoff breaker for all the electricity in your home.
The main electrical breaker panel is usually located in either the 2
nd
bedroom, the masterbedroom
or the storage closet, behind the applicable room door. Please take the time to note its location.
Breakers
Circuit breakers have three positions: on, off, and tripped. When a circuit breaker trips, it must first
be turned off before it can be turned on. Switching the breaker directly from tripped to on will not
restore service.
Kitchen Puck Light Transformer
In some homes, the kitchen puck light transformer is located behind the fridge. The fridge can be
removed by opening the fridge door, and unclipping the white clasps located on the frame – this
was demonstrated during the initial orientation. Please be careful not to damage the floor when
you remove the fridge. If you have any questions, concerning fridge removal, please do not
hesitate to contact our customer service office at 604-895-0428.
Breakers Tripping
Breakers trip as a result of: plugging too many appliances into the circuit; a worn cord; a defective
appliance; or operating an appliance with too high a voltage requirement for the circuit. The
starting of an electric motor can also trip a breaker.
If a circuit trips repeatedly, unplug all items connected to it and reset same. If it trips when nothing
is connected to it, you need an electrician. If the circuit remains on, one of the items you
unplugged is defective and will require repair or replacement.
Buzzing
Fluorescent fixtures use transformer action to operate. This action sometimes causes a buzzing.
Loud buzzing may mean the transformer needs to be replaced.
