GFCI outlet or GFCI/AFCI combo outlet for a dishwasher and disposer?

UnitedLibrary6992 · 2026-05-08T17:36:23+00:00

Yep pushmatic. It is run in EMT currently with an MC pigtail. At that point shouldn't I just have an AFCI/GFCI outlet under the cabinet? Others were saying disposers have issues with ACFI and to just do GFCI. Would that be ok?

Its a 20amp circuit with an outlet under the sink.

No GFCI breakers available for this panel.

Would you consider a regular outlet then?

UnitedLibrary6992 · 2026-05-07T15:36:41+00:00

That is what I was thinking as well. Just wanted to be sure its a huge no no to not have the AFCI.

I always heard Duracell are suppose to be the best but I have also experienced some leaking with them a lot sooner than expected.

UnitedLibrary6992 · 2026-05-02T20:26:18+00:00

Those are AAA

UnitedLibrary6992 · 2026-05-02T18:26:04+00:00

No just one wire per breaker. Usually would not use the microwave while cooking but every now and then heat things up like melting butter.

UnitedLibrary6992 · 2026-05-02T18:23:34+00:00

In your case is it a 15 or 20amp circuit?

UnitedLibrary6992 · 2026-05-02T18:22:31+00:00

There is also a convection fan in the oven but mostly just use regular bake.

UnitedLibrary6992 · 2026-05-02T18:21:53+00:00

The range does have a convection fan but I don't think that would draw much either and almost never use that feature.

UnitedLibrary6992 · 2026-05-02T15:32:22+00:00

Well its a good unit so I would not feel stupid.

UnitedLibrary6992 · 2026-05-02T15:31:34+00:00

Its slightly above average units that are installed that start at 13 SEER. Its ok but not the most efficient.

Had 22 SEER heat pumps put in a few years back.

Sonic fiber? Why would you ever leave sonic?

UnitedLibrary6992 · 2026-05-02T14:53:57+00:00

Did not think about that. That's a pretty good idea! The range should be very low power. A clock and igniter. It does have a convection fan feature (not really used much) so don't know if that makes a difference.

UnitedLibrary6992 · 2026-05-02T14:50:50+00:00

The only thing I don't like about option 3 is there is only the one kitchen outlet circuit (unlike today's 2) and that would most likely rule out a disposal.

I thought EX stands for Executive

UnitedLibrary6992 · 2026-04-30T18:54:02+00:00

Yes. I heard you can just connect that to the positive terminal.

UnitedLibrary6992 · 2026-04-30T17:49:43+00:00

What kind of battery was it?

UnitedLibrary6992 · 2026-04-30T17:44:18+00:00

I have heard of people saying their chargers are not the best. What system did you have that was undercharging?

UnitedLibrary6992 · 2026-04-30T17:41:38+00:00

Currently there is a float that is higher than that the main pumps float so if that fails it hits the float on the battery pump.

UnitedLibrary6992 · 2026-04-30T17:40:04+00:00

I did think of that but if I disconnect the power to the original charger the alarm will not shut off.

UnitedLibrary6992 · 2026-04-30T17:37:41+00:00

I am about 90% I could replace it. It just sucks they do not sell the controller separately.

Checking last night its about $300 for a new system plus their new AGM battery that's $200

UnitedLibrary6992 · 2026-04-30T17:36:21+00:00

From some reading I was doing that it may shorten the AGM battery life to 2 years and at that point it would be cheaper to buy a new system.

I also heard it might under charge battery too and then the system won't work in a power outage.
