The highest voltage I could achieve during the week was 114v. I know that in time this will place a strain on my appliances. I couldn't even make decent toast and the electric griddle would take forever to heat up.
That is a misconception and 114V is plenty for any appliance and will have ZERO negative effect on appliances. In fact std usage voltage is 115V. If you're having trouble with your toaster and griddle at that voltage I would be looking for an issue with those appliances and not at any voltage issue.
