OUR POWER WAS GOING ON AND OFF DURING A WIND STORM THIS WEEK. ?
Apr 24th
Now everything on my 220 line is not working correctly. Dryer is running but not heating. air is running but not cold. microwave is running but not turning. I checked and we do have full power in the lines. What happened?
I used an ohms meter into the outlet and the reading came out at 126 on each side. that is how I teated the power. I borrowed one from someone at work. also none of the breakers are tripped. this makes no sense to me
i put the ohms reader into a 220 outlet each side read around 126 each of resistance. that should mean that I am getting a total of 220 volts correct? I will call an electrician if I have to. I was hoping to fix this on my own hoping it was a no brainer. Thank you for your help but please there is no reason to be mean……Kimberly

DO LOCAL POWER COMPANIES REMOVE TREES THAT FALL DOWN DURING HIGH WINDS?
Apr 15th
Yesterday where I live, a tree fell down during some high winds blocking the driveway that leads to my neighbor’s house. It’s up to me to call the power company about it (the neighbor works and doesn’t have time to call) but since it did not knock down any wires I do not think they would do it. Would they do it if I call them or would I have to call my local fire department or municipal building about it so it can be removed in a timely fashion?

SOLAR PANEL TO GIVE A PLUG I HEATER(S) ENERGY DURING WINTER?
Feb 21st
Is it possible to get some sort of a solar panel that would provide enough energy to give watts to a electric heater or 2 during winter months to heat a small apartment and save the costly heat bill at which prices are going will be double by this winter gas and all?
