My computer's connected to an Opti UPS that has a built-in voltage regulator. I can sometimes hear its relays clicking from time to time without tripping over to battery power, so I know they are due to voltage sags or surges. I've had it for 2 years now with nary a complaint.
After our clinic's ultrasound machine (I'm a doctor) blew its power supply and needed some expensive repairs, I installed a same model UPS between it and the mains. It turned out that the voltage feeding into the building was 15% higher than what it should be. The Opti UPS brought it down to safe levels, and it's now been 3 trouble-free years since the incident.
Dude...you should be talking to an electrician about that...
