Where in the code does it state that if you change a panel you must install afci breakers on the bedroom circuits.The existing circuits are not just the bedrooms there are other things on the circuit.When installing the afci breakers one trips when the paddle fan is turned on and the other trips when the closet light comes on.Of course i did not bid the job to rewire the house.

Re: afci breakers

The NEC only requires AFCI breakers on new ciruit installations such as a new house or new bedroom wiring in an existing house. This does not apply to service or panel changes.
