BTW, if both locations are connected to the same "power grid", it is
unlikely that the line voltage was 220 volts in the old location and 240
in the new one.

Incorrect. Distribution voltages are on the order of a few thousand volts,
stepped down by transformers at the point of service to a few hundred. New
location = different transformer = possibly different service voltage even if
the distribution voltages are exactly the same.

That said, though.... any device designed for 220V should be able to handle
245V.
