To find out where the tandem slots are located and how many you can install, first see if the information is on the label inside the main electrical panel. If it’s not, you’ll have to call the manufacturer’s help line and supply the model number. That’s the only way to get the answer.
Avoid last-minute shopping trips by having all your materials ready ahead of time. Here's a list.
