Hello all: First of all thanks to all the pros for making this forum a great place for advice. Here's my situation. I have a 50 amp subpanel by my pool. My electric bill goes through the roof in the summer. Pool guy said to change breakers from 120 to 240 and that would substantially lower the electric bill. Is it as simple as changing the breakers or does the panel need rewiring all the way from the house. Thanks in advance.

Hello, I'm experiencing intermittent power outages on multiple circuits in my home. This occurs a few times a day. Some parts of the house remain powered, but several other places do not (and these are always the same places). No breakers are being tripped. The outage lasts anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes, but power is always restored. This might happen during the day when a couple of lights are on, or a computer, but it also happens at night when very few appliances in the house are on. The utility company claims it is not on their end. We've had our breaker panel replaced recently to solve this problem, but it didn't do any good. I want to gain some insight so that I can be prepared to talk with my electrician who replaced the breaker panel. Does anyone have any ideas as to what the problem might be?
