There is no difference in the electric bill from 110 to 220 volts. Electric bills are computed using watts not volts. The only savings you have using the volt & amp side is material cost savings.
If you have a 400 watt light it will cost you the same amount of electric each month no matter if it is 120 volt, 208,240 or 277 volt.
If you are wiring up a new building you can put more fixtures on smaller wire at higher voltages which will save you money on building costs. If the building is existing and already has both sources there really is not much difference.

Most women like the strong, silent type… Fortunately for me, my wife prefers the out-of-shape, mouthy type.
