Default Electrical Humming/ Buzzing

oups.com...
I have a 18 year old home with circuit breakers. For the past 2
months I have noticed an intermittent electrical noise that come
through all my electronics and appliances at the same time... the
TVsbuzz and have lines through the picture, Stereo and computer
speakers buzz, my fridge even buzzes during these episodes. They last
approximately 5 or 10 minutes. I have only witnessed it about 8
times. The times they happen vary from daytime to night. I called
the power company and they replaced all of the connections from my
meter to across the street to the pole. It happened again last
night.
My electrician is on vacation until Monday and I am worried that my
house will burn down in the meantime...I am also hesitant to call
another electrician taht I don't know, becuase I am worried that I may
be taken for a bundle....
Has anyone run into this before? Do you have any suggestions on what
to look at?
Thank you in advance for your assistance,
Cheryl


If you share a transformer with another residence check with them to see if
they have the same problem. If not you have to rely on the power company as
to whether or not there is any problem at the transformer. The odds are
though the interference is coming from one of your own electrical gadgets.
When it happens disconnect things one by one from the electrical service and
see if it goes away.
