I live in rural Scotland and we had a mild problem with our electricity supply - our lights were flickering slightly, nobody else noticed but it was really annoying me.
I contacted the electricity supplier and they had a team come out within 24 hours - which rather surprised me. Turns out there was arcing at a junction box in the supply outside of our property which they fixed pretty quickly - presumably they react to things like that promptly due to potential fire risks.
- spywaregorilla 4y agoMost utilities are very responsive to customer complaints in my experience. It's often the only signal they have of something being wrong short of a fuse breaking and completely dropping the power. If you don't have smart meters giving real time data there's no way to know about this.
