Lessons learned buying a lot, maybe others ran into this. Noreco's main power line does not go up to my area (even though I am only 4 blocks from south hiway); therefore, a transformer cannot be installed on their smaller line to my house. The line going to my house is only providing 190 of the 220, at time of testing. Not sufficient. So a friend has recommended a big boy voltage regulator from Polaris. Still, I paid for a 3hp aircon I will not be able to use until Noreco expands their main line to my location.
With no Noreco polls, there are no polls along the way to my property for Globe or Filproducts to use for internet and tv respectively. Satellite will solve the tv but will have to go slow wireless Smart Bro or Globe plug in, will not sign a lease for their faster service based on stories on the DI.
So, lesson learned for others looking to buy a lot: maybe I should have considered all requirements before I chose where and which lot to buy and what aircons to buy.

I would seriously consider stepping the electricity DOWN to 120v and go with U.S. appliances if I new my incoming voltage was going to be stuck at 187 volts (or lower) for any length of time.

I have dual voltage in my house (220/110) but don't have a big enough x-former to power the A/C's. I had brought some aplliances from the states and needed the 110v. The only solution here is to install my personal X-former.

By the way, the personal X-former is not a fixed feature; therefore, it can be taken if I have to move to another residence. The only drawback is the uninstall/reinstall expenses.
