Common questions for AFCI Breaker Installation in New Braunfels
Do I have to install AFCI breakers?
New construction and most renovations are required to. For an existing home with a working panel, the code usually does not retroactively require AFCI on circuits that were code-compliant when installed. Many homeowners add AFCI voluntarily because of the fire-prevention benefit.
Will an AFCI breaker fit my panel?
AFCI breakers are made by every major panel manufacturer (Square D, Eaton, GE, Siemens). The panel has to support AFCI, which means most panels manufactured after the early 2000s. Older panels sometimes need a different solution. We confirm panel compatibility on the site visit.
Why does my AFCI breaker keep nuisance-tripping?
Common causes are switching power supplies in older electronics, certain LED dimmers, large motor loads, and shared neutrals on multi-wire branch circuits. The fix is usually to identify the specific load that triggers the trip, then either upgrade the device or change the AFCI breaker manufacturer.
How much does AFCI breaker installation cost?
Cost depends on the number of circuits and the panel brand. AFCI breakers are several times the cost of standard breakers. We quote in writing after panel inspection so the number is fixed before we start.
Do AFCI breakers replace GFCI in bathrooms and kitchens?
No. They serve different purposes. AFCI catches arc faults, GFCI catches ground faults to people. Some circuits in kitchens and laundry need both, which is what dual-function (combination AFCI/GFCI) breakers do. We pick the right type per circuit.
