I am not sure if this should be in the Living or the Legal section:
Where I live there has been the addition of a new housing recently. We have never had 110 Volts of electricity (220Volt service) reliably provided. Before it was on the low 100 volt range and now it is continuosly in the mid 90s of volts.
This causes the use of more power, higher bills etc. This is especially true of inverters beacause they rely on peak power to charge the batteries. When the power is in the mid 90 volt range they lose as much has 40% of their capacity to charge batteries and therefore will take almost twice as long while wasting much more energy to charge them.
I have heard others mention they use a system wide regulator, but this does not address the wasted power, it will only transpose it to the system wide voltage regulator. The solution is to get the power company to provide 110 volts during those few hours that they actually provide power.
We have called several times, visited the office and filed official complaints. What is our recourse?
