That's really high.  Places I've lived and worked in the last 30 years 
come in pretty close at 120V. I don't know if it would really damage 
anything, other than making your lights brighter and shorter lived.

Mine runs a pretty constant 119 - 121 on 200A service in a 10 year old 
house.  BTW, there was talk a few months ago about TED meters.  I've now 
had one for a couple months.  Bother me off line if curious.
