sparky:
AFCI's are now required here, guess you could say 'finally', and they will start showing up as the permits approved after 10/06/09 are built.
The rest of the country where they have been required, with the postings & comments here are preparing me for the arrival!
As to 'explanations', I have to use the old 'it's the new code'; and 'it's a device similar to the GFCI/GFI intended to improve your safety'; 'research is available on the web from various organizations and mfgs explaining the technology'....etc.
The wider scale installs will be here, but I can't say I'm looking for it with great anticipation.
