Neutral Bar

Hi,I have a quick question regarding My neutral bar in my panel.I will say the bar itself if full,but there is 4 larger holes left,with screws unused.I would think they are for heavier gage wire.Would it be ok to use 14ga wire in this hole .Then i will have extra spots for more circuits.

Only one wire per hole. So if you were thinking you could put several #14 into that big hole, you can't.

You can buy more bars for your box for less than $10.
