| Oct 27, 2021 at 12:14 | comment | added | Chris | I can contacted the electrical company in case I am intermittently losing one hot leg coming into the house. Although I am hoping that it is not somewhere between my house and the pole, as I think I am reaponsible for that. | |

| Oct 27, 2021 at 4:34 | comment | added | Steve Wellens | Try re-seating the circuit breakers in your panel. And look for loose connections there (carefully). | |
| Oct 27, 2021 at 4:32 | comment | added | ThreePhaseEel | Is there any pattern to which 120V circuits in your breaker panel lose power? | |
| Oct 27, 2021 at 3:36 | comment | added | George Anderson | Probably a lose hot feed. Where the house loses power always the same? | |
