New house - clocks go faster, room lights effect computer.. Why?

Question

We have recently moved in to a new house that we have built. The thing is that clocks attached to the electricity mains are going a little faster... Also when lights in the house are turned off, sometimes the computer makes a sound like new hardware has been detected or a USB taken out without safely removing it. This never happened at our old house.. What could be causing this? Would this be effecting electricity bills??

Thanks

Answer 1

Sounds like you could have a voltage problem. You should have it checked.

Answer 2

Its possible that you have a big build up of static electricity in the house, and this is affecting your computer. As for your mains electrics, get them checked out by a qualified electrician for possible overloads.

Answer 3

Similar thing happened to me, clocks not only moved faster, but backwards.

Answer 4

If you have a multi-tester, check the voltage on both sides of the elec panel box. If the clocks are moving faster, of course you will be using more elec. Think about a variable speed drill, the harder you pull the trigger the faster the motor goes and the more electricity you will use.

You might also give your utility company a call and have them check the line coming in. BTW, if your voltage is high thats the utility company's problem.
