AFCI

An Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter, or AFCI, is a safety device available as an outlet or a breaker, typically rated at 15 or 20 amps. As the name suggests, these devices are designed to detect and quickly interrupt electrical power when a dangerous arc fault occurs in a circuit.

Arcing often happens at loose connections and can generate intense heat –sometimes even hotter than the surface of the sun!

How hot?

When the AFCI circuit was first developed, it was prone to nuisance tripping from things such as arcing from motors, power fluctuations, excessive heat, and wires pressed together too tightly. Engineers are constantly striving for new ways to supply electricity in a safe manner. It sounds crazy, but all our outlets may soon be in the cloud. Smart plug

Customer Remarks

Gordon changed out various light fixtures at our house and added a couple of lights in our bedroom. He is the best worker I've met. Not only was he on time but also was clean courteous and totally professional. A couple of times I asked him to relocate or change a fixture height and he was nothing but pleasant and showed a positive attitude. I know that next time we have electrical work to be done, he will definitely be our first consideration when we call someone. Outstanding! Sincerely, Antoinette Castle Pines Colorado

I just wanted to let you know how happy my wife and I are with the electrical work that was done in our home. It included a complete upgrade and added services that we have talked about getting done for years . The electrician was Gordon and I feel that he did an outstanding job. He went out of his way to make sure all the customer needs were met. Even the inspector said that whoever did the electrical work had done exactly by the book. I would be happy to recommend Gordon to other people.

Gordon Hampton did an excellent job for us when he helped us on our residential service change . He was prompt courteous with our customer and completed the job in a timely manner. His work was even noticed by the electrical inspector for going beyond the minimum code requirements. Gordon has a friendly personality and is easy to work with. We would definitely hire him again if the need arose . Sincerely Dave Warner, president
