If you were building your own home in a location that did not have inspections, would you use AFCI's? A little background, I live in what is probably the hottest real estate market in the US, nothing like 14,000 homes being incinerated to change things overnight and want to get the hell out of California, downside not ready to sell yet, but thought it would be interesting to hear the opinion of others. The market is not going to be as crazy as it is currently, where people are paying as much as $50K over asking price in order to get a property, when it does correct there is going to be a lot of folks holding property worth less then what they paid for it. One location am considering has no inspections other then septic & I have held the opinion that the work that you do should be the same whether inspected or not, but really don't care for AFCI's.
