"Could be"??

This is an *obvious* case of a bad neutral connection somewhere.

And as has been pointed out by several others, the transformers are factory-wound. The center tap isn't something that the power company can, or should, move.

There are incompetents in every field. So what? He still has a neutral problem, he still doesn't understand that, he still doesn't know how to find it, and he still needs to call someone who can.

Or they simply remake a song from "our" era and toss in a vulgarity or two just to suck the kids in.

Every time I see my kids (now in their 20's) getting into a remake of a song from days gone by, I make sure that I point out that the song is old and toss in "because these new guys don't know how to write anything good."

And it is also obvious it's not in the meter base IF, as the OP has stated, the voltages in the house are the same on both legs, with an 8 volt "slip" in the voltage in the shop (up4 on one side, down 4 on the other)

This is what FPL uses right now

I don't think they go through that many transformers. We are pretty good with lightning protection here. Usually the recloser fixes it.
