A:
It sounds like you are in a frustrating situation with your electrical service and the utility company. However, it's important to approach the situation calmly and rationally in order to find a solution.
First, you should try to get a clear understanding of what is causing the issue with your electrical service. If the electrician you hired was unable to provide a clear diagnosis, you may want to consider hiring another electrician for a second opinion. It's also possible that the issue is related to the electrical service provided by the utility company, in which case you may need to work with them to resolve the issue.
If you believe that the utility company is responsible for the issue, you should try to work with them to resolve the problem. This may involve filing a complaint with the utility company or contacting your state's public utilities commission for assistance.
It's important to keep in mind that utility companies have the legal authority to shut off service for non-payment. However, they are required to follow certain procedures and provide notice before doing so. If you are having difficulty paying your bill, you may want to contact the utility company to discuss payment options or assistance programs that may be available.
Overall, it's important to approach the situation with a level head and try to work with the utility company to find a solution. If you are unable to resolve the issue on your own, you may want to consider seeking legal advice or contacting a consumer advocacy organization for assistance.
