Why not? I've added an AFCI to my house, along with a TVSS. I used

modern codes, it's closer than it was.




What electrician will be willing to bring something "closer than it was"
to code?



I didn't say I was a professional. But the only items not to code that
I'm aware of right now are the lack of a dedicated 20A circuit to the
bathroom, one kitchen counter outlet that's on a 15A general
lighting/receptacle circuit, and a few remaining receptacles that aren't
grounded. I'm picking away at those issues, but my point was I don't
particularly see the point of saying "well, it still won't be perfectly
code compliant for new construction, so why bother?"

There's no indication the OP would be willing to make the changes on
their own. So an electrician will be involved. My question stands.
