What can I use to identify the circuits for the baseboard heaters and
plugs and light?


HF has a circuit breaker detective:

I've got one and it works as expected.


Same here. Works fine.

I made one modification to correct a design defect, though. If you use
the receiver (the detector part) as-is, the battery (9 volt) will go
dead in no time flat. So I added a small slide switch on the front cover
to turn it off when not in use.
