when reading voltage at the meter base where power comes in the house.
The automotive distributor is a passive pass-through device. It simply directsthe output of the coil to each spark plug in turn. The voltage out of thedistributor should be the same as the voltage out of the top of the coil.DO NOT TRY TO MEASURE IT ! It's several thousand volts, you definitelydon't have anything around the house that can measure that kind of voltage,it only comes out of the coil or the distributor in short pulses anyway, andonce you take that pulse through an arm or up into a finger, you will jumpin the air and sing Sweet Sue. You will go in the house for a beverage, andyou will forget all about the car. Trust me.
240 volts from the secondary side of the transformer to your house
220 to 240 V
It is the 'as if' voltage in an AC circuit. Referred to as Vrms 120 volts in your house is Vrms, the effective voltage, 'as if' it were DC 120V, can do the same work. But 120VACrms is a sine wave with a peak voltage much higher than 120 volts.
Assuming you normal house voltage is 120 volts, sounds like something is wired wrong. If you had the house (or part of it) running on generator and then took some voltage readings, you may have damaged some of the items in the house already.

Yes. Carbon monoxide can get into the living area through the tiniest cracks and gaps that are present in any house.

one is that it has a lake running through. it was built on top of a lake well kind of.
Because it's cheaper for the power companies to distribute power through the electrical grid at high voltage. Between generation and arrival at a house, it's gradually 'stepped down' through the use of transformers from 25,000 volts to the standard 230 volts used in houses.

Technically speaking, voltage does not run through anything, current does. Voltage is the difference in electric potential energy per unit charge between two points. A voltage applied to a load (e.g. appliance) in a closed circuit will cause current to flow and make the load "work". If you apply a different voltage to something other than what it was designed to run on, it will most often not work or burn up. The amount of current that will flow through a device operating from a fixed voltage (like that coming out of the wall in your house) is directly proportional to the resistance. Lower resistance = higher current.
IT depends on the voltage that is at the powerlines. Ibelieve the common residential powerline voltage is 2160v and your house is 120/240v
