Are all the wall sockets in your house measured at around 247v constantly? If yes, my guess is your house probably situated near a TNB substation. Although 247v is on the high side, there's no need to be alarmed as all you might experience are fans runs slightly faster, water heater runs slightly hotter etc. What you really need to take notice is if the measurement at the wall power outlets are on the low side (below 220v). Below are examples that causes low supplied voltage :
1. Wiring too old & degraded.
2. Termination or point of contacts oxidation.
3. Using power extension with low quality copper wiring or steel wiring (rare but exist)
4. Sharing the same power outlet with a high power appliance.
Constant low supplied voltage causes electrical appliances to fail prematurely due to overworked & overheated, wiring to catches fire etc.
Any corrections or additional info from experts are welcome.

First of all sorry for the typo , it's 247V (as you already know). On another outlet it's about 245V.
For the 247V outlet, it will fluctuate slightly +/- some decimals. Sometimes it may go to 246V briefly , sometimes 248V briefly.
Since it's borderline high, I am afraid it may go above 250V sometime when not observing. I have experienced computer Motherboard failure quite often, not sure if the high voltage is the cause. Do you think I should get an AVR to play safe?
Btw, I have also been using an old AVR at another outlet . That AVR got a LED display which gives a reading of 230V constant. But when I plug in the Power Analyzer to the AVR, the reading on the analyzer shows 219-220V. Any idea why the reading is lower than the AVR? Since it's on borderline low is there any danger involved to the equipment plugged into the AVR ?
Thanks for your valuable advice
