I still get blank looks when asking for the availability of AFCI's at my local supplier. I can only hope they will have them by the year's end...
I fear that houses I'm working on now may not get the final punchout until 1-1-02...
I've been careful to wire all bedrooms circuits so that adding AFCI's will be easy.
I've been successful in my sales pitch of AFCI's (got a rewire coming up...the owner likes the idea... especially on any circuits we can't replace...) but I need to follow up...
Heck...I don't even know what they'll cost here!
