Look, to put yourself at ease with this, there is a simple solution that you can handle yourself more precisely and for much less money than involving an electrician. Go to Radio Shack, Home Depot, Hardware Store, or etc. and buy a decent, but good value multimeter. Nothing is more simple than checking home AC voltage with a meter. Doing it yourself allows you to check it at all different times through the day and night. Read the meter's instructions and take note of the safety precautions since you seem to be new at this. Don't get too worried if you don't understand absolutely everything. All you need to know is the AC volts test. It's as simple as this: Set the meter for "AC Volts" and stick the probes into the socket. Read the screen and note the voltage and time of day on paper to compare how it may fluctuate.

Hi Folks,
I had an amplifier malfunction and the possibility that was proposed to me was that since a transformer blew about a week prior to the malfunction, that I could be experiencing an inconsistent flow of current. In other words and I hope I get this right, neutrality- 90 volts-neutrality 130 volts which would create undo stress on seals and cause a blown capacitor. Yes, weird things were happening with lights and such after the capacitor blew. I live in an apartment and the landlords in this price range are, without exaggerating, worthless. It was just suggested that I keep an eye on my current. Does anyone know what on earth I'm even talking about?
Thanks!
