My home was built in 99 in Texas. I was redoing some electrical, and the panel wasn't very clearly labeled. I just went through and mapped out every switch and outlet in the house to the correct breaker.

I have dedicated circuits and breakers for the fridge, dishwasher, disposal, and the clothes washer. I realized I don't have any breakers for the clothes dryer, water heater or furnace. The water heater is plugged into an externally mounted with no visible wiring. The furnace wiring goes to a metal box about 3" x 4" x 6" that is mounted in a difficult place to reach. I think its just where the connections are made. I don't want to start touching that without knowing its off.

The main panel is in the garage and has 8 single pole tandem circuit breakers. One of them is labeled as 'spare', and I believe it is. I have double checked, and I don't see any other panels anywhere. I have checked that none of the breakers in the panel shut off the dryer. There are no problems right now, I was just trying to learn. There has to be another panel or something right? What do I do from here?

There is another panel somewhere. Start by looking at the meter. There outside or back to back to the meter.

Are your appliances gas or electric powered?

The entire house is electric. There is no gas.

Then you have another panel.

I'm a fool. I found it outside. Thanks.

You're not a fool. You are learning. The thing you learned is not to assume anything and investigate further before you proceed with a project and not just jump in head first into a shallow pool.
