Hi all ,hope some one can help me understand whats going on here.
We moved recently out to the country from small town in Ontario.
In town I knew the voltage at the outlet was around 105 volts.
At our new place I noticed the voltage is around 125 volts.
This question is regarding trying to save a buck cause both of us will be retiring soon and will be on a very small pension so I'm looking at ways to cut costs.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but because of the higher voltage's in the country devices ,I like to call them Dumb devices like lights , stove , motors ,heaters ,non electronic stuff which has built in Voltage regulation, These devices would use more Power to run at higher voltages ,Yes or No, I never had any issues in town with the operation of any of my appliances . Would this not save me some $$$$$$. Ohms Law says I=E/R If E is higher I is more.
Also does any one know if they sell a Voltage regulator for the Home.
Thanks
