To expand on Mr. Martin's points, in the ARRL's "RFI Book" the first chapter has excellent recommendations on Personal Diplomacy that every ham should read and learn from. Doesn't matter which direction the RFI is coming from, diplomacy is the key to getting a good resolution.

Hello Mike, its not likely to be a 24/7 arc in a house and much more likely
to be a light or TV. If you'd like to call me I'll go over the approach I
would take in this situation. And they are correct, don't mention the FCC
or any other authority at this point. Treat it as if you were in their shoes.
