NewslettersAnyone else having problems with electrical power?

I'm not talking about during storms, but we're usually the first to go - we lose power at our house about 2 to sometime 3 times a week...mostly just a BLAM and the power goes out - no reason - then flutters and comes back on. A lot of times if blinks during the day while we're at work and we have to reset all our clocks, micro wave - VCR, bring the computer back up....this is a very regular thing...who do you call with SCE&G? That's not normal is it? Can't that damage electronic equipment - HVAC, TV's, computers?- the rest of the neighborhood / area is ready to start a petition.

Let me guess, you live on Lady's Island. That area is notorious for power outages. I think the system is getting over loaded. Isn't that why they're going to put up those high powered lines near Pigeon Point to run over to LI? I don't know who you can call about it but I'd definatley look into some kind of insurance so if something does get fried you can replace it.
Nope, I live in Mink Point.
We used to have that problem where we live on St Helena. Trees would grow up and short out a line, especially during the night after the dew wet everything. Every now and SCEG will send out a tree company and cut back the trees. I even had a pecan tree in our yard and we could see it arcing and blinking the lights. I called and they sent someone out to trim the tree. With that much voltage, it is a job for a pro.
