This happened to me recently and I can offer some important tips.

  1. Call the power company.
  2. Don't take "no" for an answer.
  3. Tell the customer service folks an electrician found a problem with the transformer neutral and he needs a lineman to inspect it for him.
  4. Call the power company again if you don't get a visit from a lineman on an emergency basis. By that I mean, within a day or two max.
  5. Expect a lineman to bring a SuperBeast or similar tools for testing your meter base and other connections.
  6. A lineman can't repair anything on your side of the service entrance, but should be able to eliminate all utility connection issues.
  7. If the problem is in your panelboard, you really need to get an electrician out there ASAP.
  8. In the meantime, if anything goes wrong with your grounding system, or if you have any ungrounded appliances such as a 3-prong dryer or a poorly connected furnace, there will be a severe fire hazard.
