I recently purchased a house and have been having some power issues. The first thing I noticed several weeks ago is that sometimes when a load comes on (such as when the washer or dryer turns on/changes cycles) some of the lights in the house flicker. I called the power co and they replaced the power connections both on the pole side and at the house side. They did not check the meter or replace the overhead line from the house to the pole. This didn't fix the issue.
This weekend I noticed a bigger problem. A few seconds after a moderate load would come on such as a TV or blow dryer, the power on roughly half of the circuits would go completely dark (including 220v outlets), but not the entire house. After about 15 seconds, the power would come back on by itself (no breakers were thrown). It would then go back off about 15 seconds later, and after another 15 seconds, come back on. It would then stay on until another load change. This appears to be affecting the same circuits that have the flickering issue. Am I right to assume I likely have a problem with one of the 110v legs? I have another call into the power co to check the meter and lugs this time. I should point out that this appears to be intermittent, and I haven't always been able to replicate the problem. It never appeared until after the power co changed out the connections, and it had been raining quite a bit the first day I noticed it.
House was built in 1959 and has an updated electric panel.
