Labeling your electrical panel is a tedious but necessary task that can save you precious time if you ever need to turn off a circuit breaker and/or a circuit trip aor becomes overloaded. If you live in a new construction home, chances are the electrical panel is not pre-labeled or has temporary labels. If you live in an older home and/or your business is located in an older building, check to make sure the labels have not faded and still securely adhere to the circuit breakers.

Labeling your electrical panel in new construction and older home buldings that have fading labels is especially important. If you are uncomfortable doing this yourself, a certified electrician and/or commercial electrician can help you accurately label the electrical panel in your home and/or business.

We work with both businesses and homeowners in Winter Haven, Lakeland, Eagle Lake, and surrounding areas. Whether you wish to label your electrical panel yourself or plan to call on a certified electrician / commercial electrician to assist, below are some tips to ensure accuracy:

  • Purchase blank, sticky labels. Use your printer to format and clearly print the names of each zone on the labels.
  • Turn off all electrical circuits then turn them back on one at a time. Ask someone in your home/building to tell you the name of each zone as it turns on and place a label on the circuit.

Some appliances such as dryers, electric ranges, and water heaters may require more than one breaker to operate.
