I concur, being a journeyman electrician by trade, you may well find
the problem on the neutral conductor and even more likely if your
service entrance mains were aluminum.  Aluminum expands and contracts
quite a bit more than copper, and more often becomes loose.

Have you noticed any symptoms of a loose neutral ie: incandescent
lamps flickering (even in clear weather), stove top burners or oven
burners not getting as hot as they should.
