Thanks for the quick replies. My first call was to the power company, 
and you guys were right, when I told them I had flickering lights and 
snapping and popping sounds from the inside of my meter box, they 
said they would dispatch a truck. A short time later the guys shows 
up and opens up the box. Right away he noticed a loose lug which 
snapped and popped when he hit it with his pliers. He tightened it up 
and the problem is gone. It was an easy fix, but I wasn't wild about 
opening up a box without the lineman's gloves he had on. 
Thanks, 
Mike

  Hi all,
I have an electrical problem that started last night. Lights started 
flickering and going out, but not all the power went out. My home has 
3 power meters. I checked the meters and the fuse boxes and couldn't 
find anything wrong. This morning, I went back out to the meters, and 
listened closely by the oldest, rustiest one. I could clearly hear 
the tell tale sound of a sizzling short inside the meter can. 
Question, who do I call, power company or electrician? Thanks, Mike
