Dear All,

    I'm prevailing on the collective wisdom of the group.  Obviously I don't 
intend to put these in my garage (obligatory shop content) but I'm thinking 
about putting some on our bedrooms.  I have a pretty severely handicapped 
son who wouldn't be able to get out of his room in the event of an emergency 
and it's his room I'm most worried about.

    If you follow the link to the article you'll see that some people like 
and some people hate AFCI's.  A friend of mine recently finished an 
"addition" to his house (original house ~1800 square feet, addition ~3800 
square feet - some addition) and had to use AFCI's.  He reports no problems 
(so far) other than cost.

    Anyone else have any experience you'd like to share?

    Thanks,

Mark Watson
