I had an Entergy tech come out to my house last week to check my main power-in connection to my house, and he told me everything looked fine. He also told me that he's had numerous complaints of the same issue ( lights dimming quickly on their own). He told me that it is an issue on their ( Entergy's) end. I talked with some of my neighbors and they are all having the same issues. Over the weekend the lights seemed to be flickering more often and harder than before. I'm worried about my appliances.

Is there anything I can do? I already called Entergy back today and let them know, and all the lady could tell me was that they were gonna send out another tech to check out my house ( Useless). Should I be worried?

It'll be interesting to see if multiple homes go up in flames around Gonzales because of this. Entergy would likely have a massive lawsuit on their hands if that happens.

Yes.

Off of 621. Me and my neighbors both.

It’s a pain in the arse because every time it happens my A/C goes into protect mode and stays off for about 3 hours.

eta: 5 minutes after this post Entergy knocked on my door and asked if I was having problems. He said they’re checking into it and have gotten a lot of calls. Seems to be happening during the hottest part of the day.

The tech told me the same thing. Said they've put up "new equipment" that should hopefully make the situation better.
I wish there was a way for me to document that it is an Entergy problem in case any of my shite fries.
