About plus and minus ten percent. That makes it 108 minimum and 132 maximum volts.
Most appliances are designed to expect this range.

Actually, your local power company is less concerned with the exact voltage as they are the frequency. 60 hertz is what they attempt to maintain, and no more than 2% deviation is usually allowed by your local Public Utilities Commission. Most devices don't really care about even a 10% deviation in frequency--your clocks DO as to be accurate, they need 60 hertz.
