As it gets closer to your house it goes to a sub station where the voltage is lowered and then sent on its way. It finally arrives in your neighborhood and is sent to a transformer where the voltage is lowered to 220 volts. This is what comes into your house and goes to the circuit breaker box. The next section describes a bit of technical mumbo jumbo about sine waves and phase relationships.
Best Answer: Volts don't go through, amps do. Houses in the US are typically wired for 200 amps. Older houses may have 100 amps. Standard house voltage in the United States is 110-120 for the outlest in most rooms, and 220-240 for the big outles like the dryer, stove, water heater, and large air conditioners. Volts times amps equals watts. Watts are what you pay for. Well, watts over time anyway.
