What is Arc Fault protection?

Simple answer:
Fire prevention required by the National Electrical Code.

Longer answer:
Either a special type of receptacle or circuit breaker that can sense certain types of arcing that are known to cause fire. In most parts of a home, if you change out even one receptacle the code requires Arc Fault protection. Also, in many cases, in a home, if adding or replacing wiring Arc Fault protection is required.

Just to remind everyone, always when changing out or upgrading your electrical panel make sure whoever does it pulls a permit and gets it inspected. Many times we have been called in as there is a non standard element to a panel and we find it was never permitted. Just had one of those today and also you know before you buy a house you can always look at the property card and see if work was permitted and or inspected.

It's been a while since I wrote a post. Busy busy. It's a good time to get a panel maintenance done on your electrical panel before the heat of Florida summer hits us and I believe this year will be hotter than last.
A panel maintenance doesn't take long but can give you peace of mind. Call us at (727) 447-1540.

Hi,
Chris here. It is always a good idea to get a "maintenance check" done annually on your electrical panel. What it usually entails is exercising the breakers, tightening any wires on the breakers that have come "loose", looking for any signs of overheating etc. Usually a 1 hour check up but we have experienced that it can definitely help prolong the life of an electrical panel. Most people get an annual maintenance done on their AC unit but we tend to not think about our electrical panel. I had Charles do ours :)
Cheers,
Chris
