All the common everyday appliances, eg microwave, electric kettle, lamps, vacuums, are 120V here and those are the only outlets distributed around the
house. 240V is used for electric dryers and ovens and it's about the only
place you'd find a 240V receptacle in a typical house. Some might have
it for some shop type gear, in their basement, garage etc too.


I've seen 220 or 240 volt outlets for through
the wall AC. 12,000 BTU per hour and larger,
most often.
They DO exist, but are very uncommon.


i MOSTLY see them in APARTMENTS. Oddly ENOUGH,
some PEOPLE think that 220 VAC is CHEAPER, but
in the USA we pay for WATTS, which is equal for
SIMILAR equipment usage.
