Our inspection includes specialized testing to determine if the trip is caused by a genuine arc fault (a fire hazard) or a 'nuisance trip' from appliances like vacuums or power tools. We'll pinpoint the source and recommend the proper fix, which may involve repairing damaged wiring, replacing the specific breaker, or installing a more compatible AFCI model to ensure safety without the hassle.
