Low incoming voltage


Any way to increase incoming voltage?. I am constantly at 109-111V during most of the day. I just happen to be on a leg with many Cannabis factories here in Mich and my local electric service provider (DTE) says this is the main reason. 
I do not think I will get any relief from them and will probably be ok when the weather cools, but very frustrating when I don't have enough juice to efficiently run a pair of monoblocks in a room I just built for listening.
Any ideas on how to increase voltage?.  I have  native 200 amp service.  
Thanks for any input,
Russ

You’re getting a steady 109-111V. So what again is the problem ... there is no problem. US voltage is just as often quoted as 110 as 120, in either case its nominal, with zero ill effects anywhere in that range ... 109 to 111 is precisely where you ought to be, 110.
No, that is completely mistaken. Nominal voltage in the US is 120VAC ± 5 percent and is regulated by each state, typically by an agency such as a Board of Public Utilities.

The OP should phone his utility with a low voltage complaint. If the utility isn’t responsive, he should put the complaint in writing and copy the regulatory agency. Then follow-up as necessary.

I went through a similar scenario years ago and getting satisfaction can take effort. But it’s worth it, imo.

Yeah, Some "Sticky Icky" will help... LOL
Get the stuff with Purple and Red in it .Yummy ...The stuff that tastes like hash in the back of your throat .... Oh YEAH !!

I foret what are we talkin' about... /-) < that's "my eyes are heavy dude".
Yes it is that time of year again...

I had DTE out and the tech climbed poles and replaced some parts but still not enough to make a difference. I will try to go up the ladder with my complaints and see what happens. Not crazy about spending 5 k on a regenerator just to enjoy my system when I already have a nice Audience conditioner. Thanks for the comments.

My experience (with a different utility) was similar. You may need to be persistent to get the matter corrected. One thing you can request is that the utility place a voltage recorder on your lines - this would create a record of the utility's performance.
