The transformer on the pole may have a tap that you power
company could move to change the voltage on one leg.

No, it probably doesn't. And the problem isn't what's coming
from the pow
er company anyway.
The problem is that his neutral connection is bad.

I believe I mentioned in a previous post that the neutral
connection in the meter base could be a problem if it's loose.

"Could be"??

This is an *obvious* case of a bad neutral connection somewhere.

And as has been pointed out by several others, the transformers are factory-wound. The
center tap isn't something that the power company can, or should, move..

I guess I was seeing things on the transformers I looked at. Heck, perhaps the design has changed?

This is what FPL uses right now

I don't recall what Southern Company thought was out of spec but do you know what Florida Power will crawl out of bed to adjust? Oh yea, you're in Florida, land of lightning and exploding transformers. How many transformers would you guess FPL loses during a typical hisicane or is it mostly HV fuses? (-_-)ゞ゛
