What is an AFCI?

AFCI (Arc Fault Circuit Interruptor) circuit breakers detect minor arcing in an electrical circuit due to a fault condition and preventing fires. A common example of this would be a nail driven into a wall to hang a mirror that comes in very close proximity to a home wiring system. The nail may not cause the breaker to trip, but, under conditions of high humidity the electrical charge may arc (think tiny lightning). The level of electrical current flowing isn’t enough to trip a conventional breaker, however, it could heat up and cause a fire. A poor connection in the wiring system could cause the same thing.

What Our Clients Are Saying

Wheat Electric is absolutely fabulous! Lost power late one evening. PEC came out within the hour. We lost a leg. My neighbor told me about Wheat Electric the next morning. They immediately came over, got with PEC and fixed the problem. They had us all fixed up by 3 that afternoon. They didn't over charge us for anything. They are very fair, honest and do a great job. I highly recommend them and will be using them in the future for all our electrical needs.

So glad to have finally found a great local electrical company that does superior work for a great price. Jamie and Greg have done work at my house twice in the last 6 months and both times the work was completed efficiently and professionally. Love the great prices!

We have used Wheat Electric for both installing additional outlets on our back patio and putting in a transfer switch for our backup generator. Both times the service was on time, professional and very customer friendly. Troy and Nick are extremely knowledgeable, and a pleasure to deal with. We highly recommend this company and will certainly use them again for future electrical projects.
