I had the garage upgraded to 100 amps. The guys did a great job. I'm having another problem, but I didn't mention it to them until yesterday, and they didn't have much time to take a look. The problem is some of the lights in my house seem to dim ocassionally. This was happening before the garage work was done, so I doubt it has anything to do with it. When they dim, sometimes the computer shuts down, (it is on a surge protector), the clock on the range resets and so forth. My home is thirty-two years old, and has aluminum wiring. (Lucky me). I had a similiar problem a few years ago and an electrician from the power company opened up the meter tightened the lugs inside, (said it "single-phasing"?) and the problem went away. I thought maybe my problem was a bad circuit breaker, but not all of these items are on the same circuit. Does it sound like single-phasing? And if so, what can be done to keep them tight? Thanks folks!
