How the heck can I charge less if the PRICE of the panel is around that much. Go to any supply, any discount, whatever, an AFCi will be around 37-40 dollar. Replace a panel with 15-17 AFCi's and it's 800 dollar (again, just for breakers and panel).
Really? median houses in your areas go for almost a mill? WOW
Of course your job is not to worry about cost. I never heard "public employees" worry about how the private sector will make money to pay their salary. Just raise taxes, we make too much money as it is and profit is a dirty word.
It's this mentality that is strangling the economy.
So how many people died from "arc faults" 5 years ago VS now? We already spent hundreds of billions on arc faults there should be significant change in lat 5 or 10 years. Any data to support how many more lives we saved?

Do all of you guys believe that since we work for a jurisdiction we get a discount on labor and materials. I pay the same thing you do and I get charged the same price that you do. And I would move anywhere where $800 was one percent of my home value since it's only about ten percent of one percent here.
My job isn't to worry about cost, that's your job. If it cost's to much then charge less. Yeah that'll happen, so it's gotta be the governments fault.
When the '94 earthquke hit here 16 people died. Some in accidents and a few heart attacks and several in a building collapes. that was a 6.7 magnitude. A few months later one hit over seas and 1000 people died in a 4.0 earthquake. Codes work.
