Duke Energy has a home protection program for wiring - it’s something like $6 or $7 dollars a month added to your power bill. The advantage is they assign the work to people who know what they’re doing - and are available on an emergency 24/7 our call basis - AND if the repairs falls within their tight range they cover the repairs for free. Your energy company might offer a similar program. It sounds to me like something’s not normal... Glad you’re concerned...
thanks didn’t even know hey had something like that- we should look into it as our house is older-
