   I wouldn't bet your house on this, but I know of at least one heater 
in my world that is 220v or 110v.

   The heater element in my hot tub is the same whether your tub is 110v 
or 220v. It is rated for 1500w at 110v or 6000w at 220v.

   So I wouldn't take this as ANY recommendation to let 'er rip at 220v 
unattended, but if it's just a plain resistance heater....
