Arc-Fault Circuit Breakers

An arc fault circuit interrupter is better than a circuit breaker because it can sense an electrical fire before it starts. Arc fault circuit interrupters are usually installed far away from the circuit breaker to protect rooms the circuit breaker cannot detect.

Bedroom circuits are probably the first place to consider installing arc fault circuit interrupters (AFCI). The rooms are typically the farthest distance away from the circuit breaker panel and most susceptible to arcs that can't be detected by traditional circuit breakers.

Arc fault circuit interrupters are different. They have intelligence. They can sense when an arc or short circuit is about to spark and cause a fire. They quickly shut down. These new breakers are a huge technological breakthrough. They will save thousands of lives of New Orleans homeowners and lives of firefighters who enter dwellings to try to save people.

Having these installed in your home by a professional electrician, will help protect your home from any fires that may occur, or potential fires.
