    Installing AFDDs in Domestic Property

    I'm a homeowner with a 1954 property that was rewired in the 90s. I'm looking to upgrade the consumer unit and have been considering AFDDs on all circuits to help protect the older wiring.

Are you concerned about false tripping, callbacks, or the complexity of diagnosing issues? Or is it just that AFDDs are still relatively unfamiliar tech for some in the trade? I’d really appreciate hearing from electricians who’ve installed them—especially in older homes. Are they worth the investment in your view?
