Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter
Keep your family safe!
Put in very simplistic and rudimentary terms, arc faults are mini-arc welders at wiring connections, defects or damage in wires and cables. They generate extremely high heat and slipping under the radar of basic circuit breakers. This lets the fault continue, allowing that heat to grow melting parts, insulation and causing deadly fires.
Call King Electric if you need new circuits added or if you need an existing AFCI replaced.
