Fixture Location
We install light fixtures in the locations indicated on the plans. Moving fixtures to accommodate
specific furniture arrangements or room use is your responsibility.
GFCI (Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupters)
GFCI receptacles have a built-in element that senses fluctuations in power. Quite simply, the
GFCI is a circuit breaker. Building codes require installation of these receptacles in bathrooms
and kitchens (basically, areas where an individual can come into contact with water while holding
an electric appliance or tool). One GFCI breaker can control up to three or four outlets. Each
GFCI circuit has a test and reset button. Once each month, press the test button. This will trip the
circuit. To return service, press the reset button. If a GFCI breaker trips during normal use, it may
indicate a faulty appliance and you will need to investigate the problem. Heavy appliances are not
plugged into a GFCI receptacle, as they will trip the GFCI breaker.
CAUTION: if you plug a refrigerator or food freezer into a GFCI-controlled outlet, the GFCI
breaker will trip. The food stored in your fridge/freezer will be ruined. Our limited warranty
coverage does not cover such damage.
Grounded System
Your electrical system is a three-wire grounded system. Never remove the bare wire that connects
to the box or device.
Light Bulbs
You are responsible for replacing burned-out bulbs, other than those noted during your initial
orientation. When you do replace bulbs, avoid exceeding the wattage indicated inside the fixture
as this may cause a safety hazard and void the warranty on the fixture.
Modifications
If you wish to make any modifications, contact a qualified electrician. The strata corporation will
have a complete list of contacts, or you may reference our sub-trades in contact information of this
section. Having another electrician modify your electrical system during the warranty period may
void that portion of your limited warranty.
Outlets
If an outlet is not working, check first to see if it is controlled by a wall switch or GFCI. Next, check
the breaker. If no apparent reason is found, contact either the Developer (if the problem occurs
within your warranty period), or a qualified electrician (if the problem occurs after the warranty has
expired).
