I have Home built in 2010, in NC. At random times for no reason the AFCI breakers are tripping.
Various rooms trip for days then stop. I have pulled all the power strips, changed the wall switches to Cooper and cannot figure it out. These protect bedrooms, living room and bathroom lighting and exhaust fans.
I thought was the FANS but it happens when they are not on either. I had electrician come out and he says all looks normal.
He was suggesting we start replacing breakers, but then it stopped for a time now its back.
I saw online could be stab connections on receptacles, but dunno. Before I start replacing these expensive breakers, was wondering if anyone had some ideas on how I can get to the root cause as it is happening on like 4 or 5 branch circuits.
I called local town and they said we need AFCi on ALL living spaces not just bedrooms. I was thinking it was the fans in bathrooms but it happens when they are not even on.
I mean could it be a bunch of bad breakers? Brand is EATON Cutler Hammer.
Ideas before I start shelling out hundreds on Breakers?
Thanks
