Bedroom Heat on AFCI
I am hardwiring multiple 240V, 1200-1650W electric baseboard heaters in 3 bedrooms. Is it necessary to run these off an AFCI circuit, or can i daisy chain them on dedicated 240V circuit? Or is there a better remedy?

No, since they are 240v they are not required to be AFCI protected.
