Default Overvoltage

Over the past year we've noticed that we have lots of lights that burn
out, and more recently our smoke detectors (wired into house AC with 9V
battery backup) have had several batteries blowup. I just went around
the house and measured the voltage in outlets and found that some were
at 139 VAC, and some were at the normal 124 VAC. The power company
came and checked the voltage outside and said it's 124 VAC, and
suggested I may have a grounding or neutral problem.
How can I find the problem? Anyone know a really good electrician in
the DFW area (near the airport)?
Please email me at
Thanks
