Supply is 240V in North America. You probably have multiple 240V circuits at your home, typically for electric range, oven, and clothes dryer at least. It is split into two for regular outlets and lighting.

Very interesting. Here in EU houses usually have three phases @ ~380V, where each phase is ~220V.

US residential service is split phase 120/240, US commercial service is generally 120/208v three-phase or 277/480v three-phase.
