The power outlets in my house are not outputting a constant voltage. It is changing depending on the use causing lights to blink this seems really strange I thought these should output 120. What should I do?

It's important to address this issue as soon as possible, as it could potentially be a safety hazard. Here are a few steps you can take:
1. Check all the outlets in your home to see if the problem is isolated to one particular area or if it's affecting the entire house.
2. If the issue is isolated to one area, try unplugging all the devices in that area and see if the voltage stabilizes. If it does, then it's likely that the devices were causing the fluctuations.
3. If the problem persists or if it's affecting the entire house, consider contacting an electrician to perform a voltage check and inspect your electrical system for any faults.
4. In the meantime, avoid using any electrical devices that may be drawing a lot of power, as this could exacerbate the problem.

Remember, electrical issues can be dangerous, so it's best to leave any repairs or inspections to a qualified electrician.

Wow, thanks for that advice.  I have followed your advice and isolated the problem down to a single circuit in my living room.  I have unplugged everything from the circuit, and the voltage is stable.  I have plugged everything back in, and now the lights are stable, and the voltage is stable.  Is it possible that this could have been a transient issue that was resolved by resetting all of the devices?

For safety, I would advise you to ask an electrician to check out the wiring of your house. Electrical surges are one of the most common causes for house fires. It's better to be safe.
