All the voltages you mention are ok. Normal is between 110 and 120 with 117 being the 'normal'. My EMS will automatically disconnect if the voltage gets too low or too high in addition to all the other checks it makes. You mention a surge protector, but that won't do much if it isn't a proper EMS like Progressive Industries makes or Southwire, or Power Dog. Get one of those and let it take care of monitoring the line voltage. This is one of those cases of what you buy matters, don't expect a $20 surge protector ro do the same as a $400 EMS.
