You can't in good conscience tell me that you price in AFCI on a service change can you?
Nope. Since their not required on a panel change, I don’t price them into the job.
I generally offer them as an option though, but with a disclaimer that there may be additional, extra cost, changes to the existing wiring needed due to things like shared neutrals, etc.
Usually because of the high added cost to low benefit ratio, they will pass on them, as I would.
