Any chance you share the power transformer with other houses? If so,
their use will have a noticeable effect on your voltage with only a 100

There are about 6 houses on the same transformer. So if I upgraded
the service, that would help?

I had to do that last summer as part of a new heat pump with electric
heat backup. Cost $1500 up front for the power company to upgrade the
transformer. There are a total of 3 houses on my transformer.

Where do you live? I am really surprised that the power company would
put 6 houses on the same transformer. Houses must be located pretty
close together.
