How to increase the House Hold Voltage ?

    You will have to check with your supplier. Don't try anything yourself, if you wired a transformer and then the mains voltage went up, your voltage would be too high and maybe cause damage to appliances.

    Maybe people in your area need to campaign together for a more reliable supply. I don't know of any common device to stablisie mains voltage.

    I'm assuming that you live in a country other than USA. There are taps on some transformers that will increase or decrease the output voltage of the transformer. The supplier is the only one that can change these taps if they are present on yours. Ask them.

    You need a qualified electrician to check that out.
