We just had our house built a year and a half ago, and not a single outlet is labeled in any way. Code here is all AFCI breakers, which suck donkey balls by the way, so no need for ground fault outlets anymore apparently |

Slow down cowboy. Arc fault circuit interrupters (AFCI) is for bedrooms and (I guess) closets where an object could accidentally drape over a not-fully inserted plug. Ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCI) are for outlets near sinks or other water sources.

From what I see those dam AFCI go bad a lot faster than the the old GFI.
I have one room in my house I use as a den, about the only reason you cannot call it a bedroom as it has a regular circuit not a AFC!. |

I don't get it. Why would anyone think they require labeling? The reset buttons on the cover make it obvious what they are. Labeling them would be like putting a warning on a bag of peanuts not to eat the packaging.

Outlets without a reset, tied to a GFCI breaker or another outlet with a reset is what I thought the OP was referring to.

Had my place rewired from fuses to breakers after I moved in. No idea if they're GFCI but there are no reset buttons. It has 3 position levers. Up is on, down is off, and centered means it overloaded. |

I know what they are for, cowboy. NH state code requires AFCI breakers in the breaker box for the WHOLE house!

An alternative, cheaper option is to have a GFCI outlet. put it in the first receptacle in the circuit then all the regular outlets can be wired as slaves. |
