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 get no results after trying some of the excellent suggestions
above, take a walk around the neighborhood and look for an amateur
radio antenna looming over someone's house. Everynow and then a chap
new to the hobby will fire up a rig with faulty shielding that makes
wierd things happen. Similarly, medical apparatus can go off key and
do odd things. You may also have a nearby workshop, pro or amateur,
with a cheap or misinstalled welder. You can even locate the source
with a portable TV and rabbit ears for a direction finder. Whatever,
let us know what you find...it should be interesting.
