Establishing a well-organized labeling system for your home's circuit breakers and power outlets is a goal that many people strive for, but few people can fully achieve it. We know why this is important: no one likes the game of figuring out which circuit breaker is connected to that particular outlet when it needs to be refurbished or repaired. It will never be the first one you try; you can be sure of it. You have to go through at least six times, turning off appliances, clocks, and wireless networks unnecessarily when you go, and yelling to your partner on the stairs, "It's that!? How about that!?"

But you can do this-you can label your spoilers now and help your future self many times. (It would be helpful for a Redditor to have a reward labeling trick you might not have thought of.)

Contrary to popular belief, marking the circuit breaker panel correctly should be more complicated than writing "kitchen" on the tape next to the switch. If you want to go all out, electrical product supplier D&F Liquidators recommends locating each socket, testing each switch and circuit breaker, and then compiling a complete electrical index.

In addition, you should mark the room in a way that is clear not only to you but to any future owner of the house. As D&F explained: "Don't write'children's bedroom', but'southwest bedroom', and paste the index on the inside of the circuit breaker panel." They even suggest drawing a floor plan to ensure accuracy; but anyway, you have Much better than at the beginning.

Labeling the inside of the socket cover is another way to keep track of which socket is connected to which circuit breaker switch-especially if a room is separated by two circuit breakers. For example, in my apartment, an outlet in my kitchen is on the same circuit breaker as the right side of my bedroom because they share the same wall. In this case, if the fuse is blown, marking the circuit breaker kitchen/bedroom is not specific enough.

Instead, as suggested by Reddit user u/nullvoid88:

Old song...As long as you have an electric board, you can take notes on the back of it. Circuit breaker number, installation date/second, paint pat, etc. Often comes in handy on the road!

You may not need to do this on all outlet covers in your home-just a few areas you know may confuse you, electricians, and future residents of your home.

One important thing to consider: The label on the circuit breaker panel is an item that must pass electrical/building inspections. The amount of detail in each area may be different, but it is assumed that the minimum amount of detail you need must be glued to the panel (ie not in a nearby floor plan).

Now, because when I really needed to turn off the "kitchen" circuit, I almost shocked myself when replacing the "outdoor" plug by turning off the "outdoor plug" circuit, I was creating a separate map for each floor and drawing it to go all out. It will be separated from the desired label, but I will put it in one of the transparent binders and loop around nearby. (Yes, I tested it first and found that there was a problem with my tester, so I had to buy another one before restarting work)
