I inspected a home that had new service equipment.
I noticed that there were no AFCI breakers in the panel. I questioned this and the electrician told me that an amendment was made to the electrical code that states - AFCI breakers are not required for a service upgrade??
Can anyone confirm and provide the language for this exception?
Thanx
