Now that's something worth sueing for. But you probably don't have to. Just document it and the power company will pony up. I used regularily replace compressors in refrigerators for customers out at the end of crappy line because of over and under voltages. It was cheaper for Hydro to pay the bills then it was to fix the lines. Plus NIMBY always came into play. Everyone wants power no one wants power lines.
