When retrimming receptacles in and existing project where they are required to have AFCI or GFCI protection, how often do you find that you now have a tripping device issue that you need to solve? Between existing wiring and existing appliances, it seems very common. Close to 1 issue power house for me.
I find that it often makes me look like the bad guy because "well it worked before you installed the new device". It's hard to tell someone that they need to buy a new microwave, vacuum, etc because their 5 year old appliance causes their new devices to trip.
