An electrician just replaced my circuit breaker panel with Siemens
panel. Most of the circuit breakers he used are Siemens. But two of
them are cutler hammer. Is it okay?

Thanks,

A lot of breakers are interchangable. Yes its fine.

Actually, using other than the original manufacturer's breakers voids
the UL approvals and the manufacturer's warranty.

Assuming the breakers used _are_ listed for use in the subject panel,
that is.

That they may fit doesn't necessarily mean they've been qualified for
the application. OP can determine whether the particular breaker is
listed or not for the application by looking up the data sheet for them
(or the simple expedient would have been to ask). W/O specific models,
can't answer the question specifically.

What is the warranty on a breaker panel?
What if the user replaces a UL approved manufacturer's breaker with
another manufacturer's UL breaker?
