I am planning on doing a whole house rewire in Wilkes-Barre, PA. I got stumpped on how many AFCI's I need, on what circuits...
I'm assuming that I need AFCI circuits pretty much everywhere per 210.10.... Does this apply to electric heat circuits also?
What is the minimum number of independent circuits I need for the house?
The entire house (excluding the unfinished basement) is about 560sq ft...
There are 2 bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, a bathroom, a small hallway between the kitchen and living room, and a flight of stairs between 1st floor and 2nd floor.
I calculated the minimum number of circuits as follows:
(2) kitchen independent small appliance circuits for the kitchen counter (GFCI RECEPTICLES, NO-AFCI)
(1) kitchen refridgerator circuit (GFCI RECEPTICLES, NO-AFCI)
(1) kitchen lighting and 3 wall outlets (AFCI?)
(1) kitchen 240V range circuit (NON-AFCI)
(1) kitchen electric heating circuit (NON-AFCI)
(1) LIVING RM 20A circuit for 5 outlets and a ceiling light (AFCI)
(1) LIVING RM electric heating circuit (NON-AFCI)
(1) Hall Util outlet / light and Porch light circuit (AFCI?)
(1) Hall heaing circuit (NON-AFCI)
(1) 240V water heater circuit (NON-AFCI)
(1) Laundry - washer 120V GFCI outlet (NON-AFCI)
(1) Laundry - Dryer 240V (non-gfci/non-afci outler)
(1) Bathroom - 20A GFCI outlet
(1) Bathroom - lighting (NON-AFCI)
(1) Bathroom - heating circuit (NON-AFCI)
(1) BD RM 1 - ceiling light and 5 util outlet circuit
(1) BD RM 1 - electric heat circuit
(1) BD RM 2 - ceiling light and 6 util outlet circuit
(1) BD RM 2 - electric heat circuit
---------------------------------
20 Circuits in total
Did I miss anything? Are the new AFCI requirements correct?
