No, we are all on the same electrical grid. As a matter of fact most of Canada's electrical power that is produced is consumed by the US.

If the plug fits. Single phase volts is volts. 20v less = 10% cooler. Hairdryer means something on your body is wet and electricity is near it so be aware of proper grounding.

USA and Canada run on 120 volt 60 cycles (60hz). So the answer is no. If you want it to work on 220 volts you have to have Voltage Converter.

Are there 600 volt residential service drops for electricity?

Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz supply service.A voltage of 600 volts is not as prevalent in the US as it is in Canada. The US operates on 480 volts. These voltages are mostly used in commercial and industrial applications where large motors and large loads need to be connected. In Canada and the US there are no 600 volt residential service drops that I have heard of.All appliances for residential connections operate off of 120/240 volts in the single phase category and 120/208 volts in the three phase category.


If 220 volt appliances consume half the power of 110 volt appliances why aren't refrigerators being sold in the USA with 220 volts?

True, 220 volt appliances consume less energy than 110 volt ones, but in order to use them in the US, you would need to convert them to 110 voltage. This is a less efficient use of energy. Plus, 220 volt appliances are a more risky because people can get seriously injured if they get shocked from them.

Yes, but you need a converter that changes 220 to 110, if you plug it into a 110 plug. Of course, if you plug it into a 220 outlet you don't need a converter, but in either case you will need a plug adapter.

Do you pay duty on appliances purchased in the US and brought into Canada?

I've imported a car and a motorcycle from the US into Canada. This is what I know about importing vehicles, and I think it's the same for appliances: It depends where it's made. If it's made in the US, there is no duty and you will pay GST/PST at the border. If it's not made in the US, then there is a 6.1% duty, then GST/PST. Hope this helps.

If you are coming from anywhere in the US, sure. If you are coming from Europe- maybe not. Many euro appliances are meant to operate on 220-240 volt current, and US electricity is 120 v 60 Hz. You may be able to find an adapter for appliances, or just get another dryer in NY.
