We had a bunch of bad storms roll through a bit ago, and I have only been getting partial power since. We assumed one of the phases was off. I called the electric company and they FINALLY came out. Power was on for a day then off again... 2 weeks later and 6 calls later, they finally came back out ,and after repeated questioning by me, informed me that the "top lug is burned" under my meter. The electrician I spoke with , said that he charges $35 an hour. plus cost of parts and the like. The main problem will be if he gets out there and there are other problems he's required to "bring it up to code".
Besides the price of the "lug" should I watch out for anything more? How suspicious should I be?
