Could there be a reason in the old trunk line if there is dim light at home?

Hello, yes, that’s exactly so - the voltage is within normal limits (214 or more), and the lighting in the house is like in a cave. Now in one room there is a lamp of 150 W, and visibility is like that of a 40s. At the beginning of the year, a microwave broke (repair cost 3,500), in the summer a vacuum cleaner - 1,500 tons. We barely reached the district energy service (we live in the village), upon arrival we measured the voltage (204-214), cut the branches over the trunk line, to the twists to which I drew their attention, they said that it was permissible and replacing the line with SIP is not possible even in the near future (we are not from thieves, like as heads of rural administrations, etc.). Prior to this, the transformer was changed twice to three streets, I say, maybe it’s all the same in the line (for 20 years they have never changed the main line leading to the house - twice at their own expense). Also, I had to repair the laptop three times, the master said so, if the light goes out often or the voltage is weak, you will bring it more than once. On a nearby street until this summer the voltage dropped to 140 V and many appliances did not burn out and one activist went home, collected signatures and only then replaced the line, six months later. This is normal?

    Of course, this is not normal. The energy supply organization must maintain the electrical networks in good condition, ensure reliable and high-quality power supply. The equipment fails due to voltage drops, excessively low voltage.
    In any case, it is necessary to change the line if it is in an unsatisfactory condition and this should be done in a timely manner. Also, the cause of the voltage drop may be the insufficient power of the supply transformer - it works in overload mode and can quickly fail - most likely for this reason the transformer was changed several times.
    In case of problems, you need to contact higher organizations if your supplying organization does not fulfill its obligations.
    If there is still a problem of voltage surges, then in this case it is more expedient to purchase a voltage stabilizer - this will be cheaper compared to the losses that could be incurred in the event of the failure of expensive household appliances due to voltage surges.
