Yes, 240VAC is often (if not usually or always) available as a separate feed in most homes for powering high load devices like air conditioners, clothes dryers, etc. The building had the feed from its inception for some of the heavier duty machinery (like th air circulation system and pool filtering equipment), and a line was extended to our condo unit prior to us buying it to power in-unit clothes washer and dryer. It's a larger, three-pronged, earthed plug from the standard US two and three prong plug.
