Smoke/Carbon Monoxide Detectors
One electric smoke/carbon monoxide detector has been installed on or near
the ceiling of your home. They are directly wired to your electrical system and
will not operate in the event of a power outage. We suggest that you regularly
test each smoke detector to ensure they are working properly. Smoke detector
covers should be cleaned monthly using the soft brush or wand attachment
of a vacuum cleaner or a damp cloth.
Central Vacuum Rough-Ins
In the event that your home is equipped with a central vacuum rough-in,
outlets have been installed in diff erent locations on fi nished fl oor levels
to allow a thirty foot long hose to reach the fi nished rooms in your home.
Please note that central vacuum rough-ins are only “roughed-in” the areas
that are inaccessible and when installing your central vacuum there will
be some extensions needed.
Dishwasher Rough-Ins
During your design centre appointments you may have opted to have
a cupboard component installed in the dishwasher location. If you choose
to install a dishwasher at a later date, remove the dishwasher cupboard
component installed by Minto. An electrical plug will have been installed
in the fl oor area underneath the dishwasher cabinet. This dedicated plug
(receptacle) will be connected to the breaker in your Electrical Panel.
Future rough-in connections for the dishwasher hot water supply and drain
waste are usually located in the cabinet containing the kitchen sink.
Security System Pre-Wiring
In the event that your home is equipped with rough-in wiring for a security
system, it will have been pre-wired with the termination of wires near the
Electrical Panel.
It is advisable that you provide a copy of the home communications distribution
panel information pamphlet to your security service, prior to their completing
the connections for your security system. Tapping or cutting into the
telephone feeder from the demarcation box, the Network Interface Device
mounted on the exterior of your home, will decrease the capabilities of your
distribution panel.
Intercom System for Condominiums
All the apartment buildings have front door entry intercom systems where the
home owners or tenants’ names are listed on the intercom plate with a four
digit code. When the 4 digit code is entered, the recipients phone will ring to
a mobile or land phone line (whichever was given to the inspector when they
