New Jersey Electricians,
I have received a letter from Suzanne Borek that states if you do a service change, that falls under the REHAB code and Arc Fault is not required as of yet. Also even if you gut the whole house and rewire it from scratch, ARC FAULT is not required.
However if the GC builds anything new to an existing house ( Even if it is 1 or 2 feet) That new section of the house will have to meet the '08 code. That goes for TR recpt. and arc fault.
You can contact Suzanne at the DCA if you need to.
