Our power in Gilchrist was an issue last night again. We had a dozen breakers trip. So did our neighbor next door. His wife and my husband were both fresh out of the hospital and it was not only inconvenient but a bit frightening.
I had called home warranty last week and they had Pike electric call us to set a time to replace all our breakers at no cost. They must be backed up with requests, because our appt isn't until Oct 5th.
I just hope we don't lose an expensive appliance, AC, TV or computer due to these frequent outages. We have surge protectors, both whole house and individual, but these frequent outages will eventually fry something expensive, if not corrected.
Pikes told me, when they called, that is if is HAM interference, replacing all the breakers will take care of the problem. But if it continues, then it is something else.
Fingers crossed that changing the breakers will take care of the problem, once and for all!
I recommend that everyone in our area call for the upgraded breakers, or be prepared for some major appliance to be replaced.
