Arc Fault Panel Change 2023

[Joe.B]

I know it can be uncomfortable going up against an inspector, but keep at it, this is huge deal if is making every who changes a panel spend an extra $1500 plus likely hours of trouble shooting finding crossed neutrals making them not hold. You definitely can't let this one go.

What I experienced here when the new guy came in hot trying to require this is that the automatic response was either not to do the upgrade, or do it without permits. I'd wager that either of those could be more dangerous than not upgrading to AFCI.
