Does every N/A homes have both 120 volts & 240 volts supplied? Here in England every home is supplied at 240 volts 50hz AC..
When I was a kid (in the early 60's) we moved to an area that was still on 200 volts DC, we used standard 240V light bulbs, they were a bit dim but lasted a long time. The TV & radio were special AC/DC (universal) types, they both seemed to work better when we were changed over to 240V AC. We had a 200V electric stove, they said it wouldn't last long on 240V so they gave Dad some money & he bought a gas stove. The electric stove was still working perfect when we left it there 7 years later
