Protect Your Home and Family with The AFCI Breaker

The AFCI breaker is the only breaker on the market today that can prevent a fire! It works so well that it is now required on almost all electrical circuits.

This is by far one of the best advancements in electrical history! The AFCI breaker and AFCI receptacle save lives and can prevent property damage.

These two devices alone can give you peace of mind, knowing that you and your family are safe and protected from most electrical hazards.

Sometimes, breakers go bad!

Like any electrical component, electrical breakers can go bad. If your breaker trips and does not reset, please give our electricians a call at (352) 350-7878 or use the Request Service form on this page.

What does The AFCI Breaker Do?

AFCI breakers must be installed according to the requirements set forth by the National Electrical Code. The rules are becoming more stringent, and for good reason. The AFCI breaker is the only breaker on the market that can prevent a fire, keeping you and your family safe.

The AFCI breaker is designed to detect various arcing electrical faults in your electrical wiring, devices, outlets, switches, and other associated devices. If an arc fault is detected, the breaker will immediately turn off, reducing the electrical fire or shock risk.

The AFCI Receptacle

The AFCI receptacle offers additional protection from potentially dangerous hazards caused by devices plugged into the outlets.

Proper protection is essential to protect you and your family. Arc faults can happen in the walls, attic, or underneath the home. Loose connections or faulty lamp wiring can cause arc faults, leading to fires.

If you research the Internet, you will see that thousands of people have lost their homes, possessions, and loved ones to electrical fires and faults. The numbers are staggering. 

An arc can be so intense that it can create temperatures up to 10,000°F instantaneously. An arc typically affects nearby materials such as wood or insulation, causing a fire to spread quickly.
