I was looking over some material I got in the latter part of last year. It is saying that AFCI's are now required to be in most areas of a dwelling, and not just in the bedrooms. Is this something that still is required or has it been amended since?? If it still goes, this is going to increase the cost of wiring quiet a bit. Thanks Steve...

In North Carolina As of July 1, 2008 what is 12-2-2, 14-2-2? Is it 12/3 with an extra nuetral? Do they sell it?
2008 NEC + amendments. January, 1, 2008-- Accepted and enforced in Massachusetts.
It's about the only legislation they can seem to get passed and agree on. But thats a good thing. Coz' the other crazy poop they think of aint worth poop.
So in short.. Grid lock is good. " no harm, no foul"!!
