I've used these to stabilize voltages for electronic equipment but not motors.

look at the current rating of the motors. make sure the wire size and breaker size are proper. make sure the connections are good.
"if" they can run on 240, you could consider changing but that would require house wiring change.
you may consider putting an amp meter on the line to verify the current. check the voltage. use a meter that records highs and lows as it may be to fast. a motor could be going bad. also see if you see a dip in current when you here the change.
is there any other large current draw in the house that turns on and off.
I have homework....thanks guys.
