I live in a old house but I get the three power lines coming into
breaker box (110x2, ground). I don,t know if he is pulling my leg, but
I was told in a note that something is wrong with my electrical, and
they had measured 70 volts between the box and the ground. My
electric bill is not outrageous but I can only guess it is costing
money and maybe some safety issues to. Is this possible or its a joke?


Many older homes (my parent's old house was built in 1920s) - only had 60
amp services. IF the service drop from the street is old AND you have an
multiple electrical panels due to add-on

I would recommend talking to a licensed electrician, your local electrical
utility OR you county/city building inspectors office (they can refer you to
qualified individuals).
Today 100 or 125 amp electrical service is the MINIMUM and many new houses
are installing 200 amp service. Why?

Current (and future) electrical demands (HVAC, kitchens, lighting, computer,
home offices) are much greater than 50 years ago. Get come professional
advice.
