Can an electrician replace regular 15 amp breakers with AFCI?

my house is 50 years old and the wiring is ok but i would like extra protection. doing research i see that adding AFCIs is a good option. Can i hire an electrician to just take out the old breakers and install AFCI or do they have to do additional wiring. i talked to one and he wanted to rewire whichever room has a AFCI breaker. i was hoping not to have to rewire the whole house now.
