One breaker that maybe looks different than all the other ones is these three at the top.

Those are called arc fault interrupters.

An arc fault interrupter is similar to a GFI.

Only it is trying to protect you from any sort of an arc.

If you have ever seen an arc across a plug where you see a spark go across it can create

the potential for a fire.

So in bedrooms mainly I would assume it is because of clothing, stuffed animals or bedding

that might up next to the outlets.

These are extra sensitive and will trip if it arcs eliminating the chance of a fire.

One thing to be aware of on these is the test button unlike the GFI where it is on the outlet,

these are actually right here.

So to test these which you'll want to do occasionally you just push the button and

you see that that trips.

In order to reset that now, the main thing you have to remember is you have to turn it

all the way off and then all the way back on.

That goes for all of the breakers.

That's one of the most common service calls our electricians receive is, "hey there

are some outlets that aren't working," so they'll call the electrician and the

electricians will ask, "have you checked your breakers?" and they will say yes we

have, but it is important that whenever you have a tripped break…If you can see that

is tripped and it doesn't look a lot different than any of the other ones and if you try

a just push that back to on you might think that that is but it is not.

Any of these breakers when they trip it is important to realize you have to turn them

all the way back off to reset them and all they way back on to make them work.

So often our electricians are sent out on calls that is all they do, they turn it off

and turn it back on.

So to alleviate a service charge it is best to make sure that you are aware that when

every you reset a breaker it is all the way off and all the way back on.

Know How Your Coax and Internet Cables are Setup In Your House - Duration: 1:11.

Curt with Canyon Cove Homes, one of the last things we need to consider in the utility

room is the communications portions of the home.

This is the communication hub as well as where the power panel box is located.

First, let's start off with the coax cables as you can see right here, we have run all

of the TV jacks or the coax jacks from the house to this main hub.

From here there is a line that runs to the outside of the house next to power panel box

or meter box on the outside and that's where your communications company will put their

box and tie it all together.

The other important part of communications is, of course, your telephone lines.

Not everybody has land lines anymore but if you do this is where the jacks in your home

would come to.

From here there's actually a line that runs to the outside of the house again where your

phone company can connect into it.

You can also do networking or what not if you choose to by rewiring to the various locations

of your home.
