My meter kept picking up stray voltage on a condenser disconnect. Never seen that before.

Heard about something like that from a friend last summer. His whole outdoor unit was acting funny, fans cycling on and off for no reason. He checked with his voltage tester and it was lighting up all over the metal disconnect casing. The power was off at the breaker too. Ended up being a bad neutral from the street, backfeeding through the ground. Took the utility company forever to find it.

A lost neutral can float voltage all over the house.

My cousin in Tampa went through that last winter. His garage door opener kept dying and the TV would flicker. The electrician said it was a floating neutral from the street. The power company dragged their feet for a month before fixing it. Stuff like that makes you paranoid about your own wiring.
