Default Reserved slots in panel?

Hi,

My panel has two open breaker slots opposite of the main 100Amp
breaker? At the same time my panel has a bunch of twins. Are those two
spots reserved for some reason?

Thanks!

Aaron

Remove the panel cover and see if there are open bus bar slots available.
I'm thinking that those knockouts are not available circuit breaker slots.

I did and there are slots. However, when a contractor was working on
my bathroom recently, he chose to twin other breakers, rather than
touch that slot.

Call him up and ask him why he chose the twins over two new full size
breakers. He may have been trying to keep that space open for a future two
pole breaker.

There should be a capacity chart on the box cover inside -- it'll tell
you of any limitations of the manufacturer.
