Arkansas & Eastern Oklahoma Arc-Fault Breakers
So you’re getting ready to add an addition to your home. Maybe you’re simply planning to upgrade your electrical service panel. The electrical contractors coming out to give you quotes are all telling you that you should replace your existing circuit breakers with AFCI breakers – but what are they?
Arc-Fault Circuit Interrupter Breakers
Arc-fault circuit interrupter breakers (AFCI), according to the National Electric Code (NEC), must now be included in all new constructions. These new breakers are separate from the ground fault interrupter (GFI) breakers already installed in your home. The GFI breakers protect you from electrical shocks while the breakers are designed to protect your Arkansas home from fire hazards.
How do AFCI Breakers Work?
The GFI breakers in your home protect you from the electrical current created when hot wires touch ground wires. They do so by tripping the circuit breaker and shutting off your power.
The problem is that the hot wire may not make consistent contact with the ground or neutral wires. This can happen if your insulation is going bad or if your wires have become loose or corroded. When this occurs, the intermittent contact causes an arc of heat to continuously build, creating a possible fire hazard. The new breakers can detect the arc and trip the breaker to prevent a fire from starting.

Why Arkansas and Eastern Oklahoma Should Hire Us for Their Arc-Fault Breakers Needs
At Matlock Electric, we understand the importance of customer service. This is why we will answer our phones with people who are trained on how to take care of customers who need us when they least expected it. We will schedule an electrical service appointment during a convenient time for our customers. Our appointment schedule is designed to accommodate our customers by equipping two hour arrival windows. A pre-arrival call will be made when the electrician is on his way out so the customer is not waiting around unexpectedly. We will also offer to send an email to the client with electrician’s picture and qualifications for added peace of mind.
When you hire Matlock Electric, we send out a fully trained electrician who will show up to the home in a truck stocked with thousands of parts designed for residential electrical service & repair. We call these trucks our "Warehouse on Wheels". These trucks save our clients valuable time and money versus going out to get more supplies while the job is in progress. We will complete the work and clean up good as or better than before. Once the electrical work is complete we will walk the customer through the work completed and collect payment. Our clients can choose to pay by cash, check, credit card, or consumer financing and that always helps when the unexpected electrical problem comes around. Those easy payment options also assist our clients so they can choose more options to update their electrical system for safety reasons and code standards as the home ages.
