| In my case, the inspector told me that I will need to replace the breakers supplying the bedrooms with Arc-Fault breakers.
I had an electrician replace the old Pushmatic panel with a new GE panel and run a sub-panel (GE) to our new addition.
The inspector approved and signed off the electricians work and he has signed off on my rough-in. He then told me that I would need to replace the new breakers in the panel with Arc-Faults.
At $35 each for 4 breakers, I figured that it would be cheap insurance and help with my wifes piece of mind.
After all, what's $140 when we are spending more on the addition than we did to buy our new house. |
