220V is incorrect. The power company provides two hot ‘legs’ or wires (both 120V) and a neutral for a standard residential service. These two combine to make 240V. Your large appliances such as dryer, HVAC, and stove all run off of 240V. 220 volts is simply not enough voltage to run these appliances. So no, 220V is not correct.
