I have power problems in my house. The lights flicker continually, sometimes every few seconds, sometimes every couple of minutes. I suppose the flicker has something to do with voltage fluctuations, but it happens so fast, I am not able to detect it with a volt meter reading across the lines. It happens throughout the house, on every circuit that has a light. I have a mixture of led bulbs, cfl's, incandescents. I don't notice the cfl's flickering as much as the incans or led's.
The problem started last May. I have notified the power company (West Penn Power), but all I get is lip service. They promise they will come out and attach monitors on the lines to determine what the problem is. It's September, and I haven't seen or heard anything from them.
I am wondering it there is any way I could monitor and record the voltage myself, that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. I would like to get this resolved before I begin running expensive trains again.
Weather, temperature or humidity does not seem to have an effect on the problem. I have all new bulbs throughout the house. Any ideas would helpful, thanks.
