Your Telephone face plates are finished.
The
Cable outlets are left exposed (no faceplate) in accordance
with the local cable company requirements.
The
telephone/cable underground service is typically in
the side yard beside the garage. Our standard is to
install the telephone/cable wires from the interior
of the house to the garage adjacent the exterior service.
The
connection from a house to a utility company is the
responsibility of the Homeowner.

levels must be controlled by the homeowner. Some helpfully

in the room that the thermostat is in. In order to exchange
air with all rooms, you must switch your thermostat

will lose heat faster than the rest of the house
