For dwelling units the code specifies all the locations where GFCI protection is required. For most of those locations AFCI protection is also required. I am thinking kitchens for example. So what is the common practice today for new constructions? Do people just provide AFCI/GFCI breakers for pretty much everything?
Kitchen receptacles, dishwasher, disposal, microwave, laundry, fridge, living areas, lighting?
That leaves dryer, ranges and HVAC equipment as GFCI only?
So the entire panel is filled with either GFCI or AFCI breakers?
