My house was rewired by a licensed electrician roughly a year ago. We have everything new from the utility pole into the house an all wires/outlets. We have noticed a random "flicker" that happens throughout the day in the house. It is not tied to major appliances such as the air conditioner or air handler cutting in or out. Essentially the lights dim slightly and flutter brighter/dimmer and a rapid pade. It lasts for about 5-7 seconds or so.
The electrician has checked all the neutrals, grounds, breakers, etc. at the house and at the pole. He's been back twice. He even checked everything with a temperature gun to look for overheated wires/breakers/outlets. The utility company has checked their meter box, the pole, the wires back to the main pole, and the transformer at the street. Both parties say everything checks out.
I notice the flicker on some breakers more than others. The two most noticeable areas of the house are multi-bulb fixtures where the light is much brighter and, obviously current draw is higher. It is not the bulbs or the light fixtures. Two of the fixtures came from the old house and have the same bulbs. They never once flickered in the old place. Further, they both do it at the exact same time and in total sync. I also notice it my master bath vanities as those are multi-bulb and bright. They are also in perfect sync.
I notice it a hanful of times per day but I'm not always watching. Realistically it probably happens more often than that
Is there a reasonably-priced tool out there that I can plug into the outlets that will at least log some basic data when plugged into an outlet? And by reasonable, I mean like $250 or less. Any ideas would be most appreciated.
TIA.
