I have a main breaker that has two, 100 amp breakers, barred together. Is that 100 amp service?

Typically, yes.

If it looks like this photo, then it is a 200 amp service.

Ahhh, yes. Tis true.

It didn't occur to me that that could be what they are asking about.

If it is two two-pole 100A breakers barred together as in the pic, it is indeed 200A.

Very good TK. Nice catch. :cool:
