Our power keeps going out…it returns immediately but this has happened five times in the last hour. Could the heat and AC’a working overload having anything to do with this and the grid?
Also, any truth to constant disruptions like this having a negative effect on AC units?

I'm off of Lake Castle, near Highland Colony, and we haven't had any issues.

Off rice road in Madison and no issues. I saw from friend on Facebook that live in either lake Caroline or ashbrooke talking about losing power like you are mentioning

Ours went out for an hour or two this past Monday or Tuesday on Catlett just north of Gluckstadt Road, but hasn’t went out since. Like someone else said, it probably has something to do with the road widening stuff they are doing on Bozeman.

Check your meter, we had a similar issue and our power box meter had over heated we think from recent power outage and repeated surges. It was sparking and had partially melted unbeknownst to us.

Short cycling compressors is bad. If you have a smart thermostat, it will typically protect against that by enforcing a timeout before calling for cool again.
