Hi All,
I recently moved into a new (to us) home and recently found the voltage at the panel to be too high run some power conditioning devices I have used elsewhere to protect sensitive electronics. We have also experienced a lot of light bulb burn-outs in the 4 weeks we've been here.
ComEd has been out twice now and reports they see nothing above 127 VAC at the outside box, though won't verify if their equipment has ever been calibrated.
I have 4 independent devices, 2 hand-held meters (both in a calibration system) and 2 power conditioning units with displays, that all report 128.5 - 130 VAC.
It's not rational to believe that ALL my devices are out of whack, but ComEd is refusing to discuss further.
What steps can I take to get the power to my house in order? Any advice is appreciated.
