Electrical safety is one of the most important aspects of protecting your home and family.

What Is an Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI)?

An Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI) is an advanced electrical safety device designed to protect homes from electrical fires caused by unwanted electrical arcing. Electrical arcs can happen when damaged wires, loose connections, aging electrical components, or faulty devices create sparks behind walls or inside electrical systems.

AFCI protection continuously monitors electrical circuits and detects dangerous arcing conditions. When an electrical arc is identified, the AFCI device quickly disconnects power to help prevent overheating and potential fires.

Receptacles that are AFCI-protected actually reduce the risk of fire in the home by tripping the circuit and cutting off the electricity flowing to the outlet if it detects an electrical arc behind the walls. AFCI protection is needed throughout your home, with only a few exceptions. Your Licensed Electrical Contractor is required to know where AFCIs are needed and how they should be installed.

AFCI Outlet vs. AFCI Breaker

An AFCI outlet (AFCI receptacle) provides arc fault protection at the electrical outlet location. It is commonly used when upgrading specific receptacles or adding additional protection to existing electrical circuits.

An AFCI breaker is installed inside the electrical panel and provides protection for the entire branch circuit. AFCI breakers are commonly used for new construction, renovations, and electrical upgrades where whole-circuit protection is required.

Our licensed electricians can inspect your electrical system and determine whether an AFCI outlet, AFCI breaker, or another electrical safety solution is appropriate for your home.
