using arc fault everywhere may be well and good but sometimes they trip for no apparent reason then reset then trip again for no reason. they also sometimes don't work on existing circuits. most electricians hate them for the nuisance tripping. we are called in to repair then wind up running a new line to the thing and the circuit still trips because of something else down the line
