We got a call to pick up our design center package over the weekend. It is a large spiral book describing all of the possible upgrades that Mattamy can offer pre-closing and the prices.

Anyone else get theirs?

yup...we got ours surprisingly early. what upgrades are you thinking?

We haven't decided on the upgrades yet. We thought we had it nailed down but we scrapped it all and we're back to square one. We had a list of Mattamy vs. after upgrades but now that we have the price list we are reconsidering.

The upgrades will be mainly in the kitchen (cabinets, countertop, island, etc...). We also want hardwood stairs and jets in the ensuite.

Has anyone noticed that there is no window in the bathroom on the second floor in Plan 6. I am kind of disappointed in that. Maybe I missed something. We are also going through the upgrades available and determining what we should do. still up in the air.

Hi guys,

Does anyone know if installing a humidifier after closing would void our furnace warranty?? The price that Mattamy is charging is ridiculous! Not sure if i should call Tarion to make sure but thought I would start here.

We got our pricing book the other day, its exciting & confusing all at the same time.

Thanks all!

Installing a humidifier or air conditioner after you buy the home does not effect the furnace warranty provided the installation of the equipment does not damage the furnace and provided the equipment is installed by a qualified / licenced company / installer.

Often builders will imply that you do loose the furnace warranty but that is not true if you follow the above guidelines.

BTW, if you plan to buy an AC then most of the time the AC company will give you a great deal on a humidifier.

I was told by my big scary scam artist builder that getting an A/C after was way cheaper and to make sure it was a reputable company that would pick up the warranty on the furnace, and that if another company frigged with the electrical of the original installer it "could" void the original warranty. what he actually said was "just don't use some guy in a beat-up old truck offering to do it for 300 bucks.

Many builders promote or perpetuate the myth that installing and AC or humidifier by anyone but them will void the warranty of the furnace.

Not long ago a client was told this by his builder. He sent the note ( below ) to Tarion and Tarion sent back their response at the bottom.

Note to Tarion - exact word for word.

That it "could" void the warranty. Exactly what I was told, but that it would never be an issue if I chose a reputable company. What's so confusing about that???
Third party he said/she said storys' don't really hold water.
