You just need to monitor your line voltage. A few years ago, I
discovered my 220 dropping below 200 volts every morning about 7 AM.
since this was winter, and low-band season, this was a little trying.
So I contacted the power company, and reminded them of the ANSI line
voltage standard. Within a week, they had replaced (or re-set) a
regulator on the branch feeding my area from the local substation - no
more problem.
