How The Brady Bunch Probably Labelled Their Electrical Panel

Electric Pro Academy - Real skills to make real money.

Synopsis:
It’s time. One of the great banes of an electrician’s existence is labeling an unlabelled panel. While we can’t solve the problem for you in seconds or minutes, we can give you a comprehensive list of methods and tools to use to get the job done quickly. Whether you’ve enlisted the help of your 8 children (guilty!) or only trust your own eyes, ears, and Klein tester, here are all your options for taking the mystery out of your breakers.

Laced within the technical instruction are recommendations and points of professionalism employed daily by Jefferson Electric masters, journeymen, & apprentices.
