It works in every house I've owned. An electrician converted two 120v single phase circuits in my electrical panel to one 240v circuit for my newly installed heat pump.

3 Phase Power vs Single Phase Power • OEM Panels

"Dual Phase or Split Phase power is also Single Phase because it’s a two wire Alternating Current (AC ) power circuit. In the US, this is the standard household power arrangement with two (Phase A, Phase B) 120V power wires (180 degrees out of phase with one another) and one neutral wire."
