The reading of 133 volts is a little high for home wiring. Check your meter with another one to see if its calibration is correct. Your lights in the house would be brighter that you were used to if the voltage was that high.

A previous member answered: "No. You will need a step up transformer to be able to use 110v appliances in 100v sockets." This is incorrect. In the US, the AC supplied to household outlets may be called 100, 110, 0r 120 Volts. These all refer to the U.S. nominal 110 Volt supply, which can range from as low as 95 volts and as high as 125 volts and most appliances labeled for 110 Volts may be used in the socket. Generally, if the plug fits, it's safe.
