Im going to piggy back on this thread to ask my own question. Its very simple, but I just want to make sure with this new electrical code stuff.
Picture your basic living room, with your basic gas fireplace and outlets throughout the living room.
We demoed around the fireplace because we want to redo the mantle. Now that we have access in behind the drywall we would like to add an outlet where the new mantle will be.
So, basically how do I do this? Can I tap off the existing circuit of the other living room outlets? I know that any modification has to be up to code, so is it easier to just slap on an AFCI outlet, or should I do the breaker for the entire circuit?
Thanks
