Hi Trumpy. Yep I'm gonna check all that stuff as soon as it happens again. The lights don't hardly ever flicker however. The flickering usually precedes the power going off to roughly half the house. It also tends to usually happen at the same time of the day....early morning is when it usually happens when everyone is sleeping. It lasts usually about 10-15 minutes.

I don't think it could be loose screws as I have changed the panel recently and the problem did not go away.

I've got my multi meter laying out and the cover to the panel box off so I can quickly check everything as soon as it occurs. Usually it happens 2-3 times a week so I don't think it will be too long before I have more information.

But can anyone tell me how power to only half the house could go out? I would think it would be everything or nothing?

I want to try to rule out everything in the house before we call the power company.
