Wiring Guidelines for Warm Home- Single Family Dwellings Version V3.0WH
2. General Information
Purpose of guide
This guide is intended for use in new construction, additions and remodeled single dwellings for
telephone, TELUS multimedia services, broadband Internet or home networking. This guide
specifically applies to wood frame residences.
What you are responsible for
You are responsible for:
(a) correcting any service difficulty that the installation or prewiring creates and which harms the
telecommunications network;
(b) paying a service charge when TELUS makes a repair visit to your premises in order to remedy
problems resulting from wiring that has been improperly installed or maintained.
Description of prewiring
Prewiring is a method of installing communications and data cabling such that it is concealed within
the interior partition walls of your home. Prewiring is done at the framing (or hollow frame) stage at
the same time as the electrical wiring, and before the application of insulation, drywall, and vapour
barrier. Once the walls have been surfaced, existing wiring cannot be removed or replaced without
disturbing the wall.
