Nothing they can do, we are way out in the sticks and the power is a single 22kv wire to a transformer getting its return through the ground, others running off this have put up with it for years, I hope the stabilizer works ok, but I guess $100 isn't too bad of a gamble. On the 14th we are having solar panels installed, I hope this relieves the power bill, it's always around $800 per quarter!!

Wow! I sure hope those panels will do the trick

$800 in a quarter of a year
our bill is around a 180-220 Euro that's about 240-300 AUD
well hence we don't run AC or anything like that, but it may raise up to 400 AUD in winter with the heating and all.

I would like to install an evaporative air conditioner but water here is scarce, that would certainly halve the bill in summer, I'm hoping to get more storage tanks installed and then switch over, it's only money! Still, in April 2012 it may not matter anymore!!
