What's your AC voltage at home?

My service is "end of line" and power fluctuations are the norm with outages about 5 times a year. The commission seems to think this is OK by their standards. Ah yes the wonders of life on the edge of civilization.

My killawatt says 120.5, in the kitchen, and it drops to 119.1 when I turn on the coffe pot. 60a service. Can't find my ancient B&K to double, and my un calibrated Fluke is at work.
 
I was up early in the morning and the voltage was as high as 127V. Now it's back to 125-126V. I didn't notice bulbs burning out a lot or such, but I had a few cheap CFL failing early.

On the other hand, I used to have problem with water pipes bursting before measuring water pressure and it was 120 PSI. I had to put a reductor in.

I have the exact same Cyberpower UPS! Works great and love the interface.
