Let's talk about circuit breaker panels (breaker box) and the importance of accurate labeling. This is an image from a recent inspection I conducted with clear labeling.
If you’re buying a home and the circuit breaker panel labeling is not clear, I recommend you asking the home owner to update it for you before moving in. If they’re not capable or confident in doing that you can ask a certified electrician to verify what circuits are tied to what breakers for accurate identification.
This will not only ensure no circuits are overloaded but will make it quicker to shut off the correct circuit in an emergency situation.
