RE: Cool Ting Tings. I believe AFCI breakers protect from ARC-ing

Per National Electric Code (NEC) newer homes require AFCI breakers that protect from arcing.

Ours is forty some years old albeit modernized with multiple remodeling projects.

The only *protection* is via notification and commitment to provide certain repair services.

An additional unit would be used upstairs to monitor the breaker box found there controlling the two bedrooms, listening room and two baths. There is yet another box outside which controls main level HVAC, sprinkler system, pool pump and associated lights.

Similarly, there are twin water heaters, one for east rooms and one for west.

Twin water heaters? Seems like a big house. Are they electric water heaters? We have one main breaker panel and a sub-panel in the basement. Ting.

I'm not an electrician but I believe they also make GFI outlets that are also arc-fault protected. In any case, the Ting seems like a good idea especially with the monitoring service.
