Some modern “appliances” might actually have some form of commutated/switched DC motor. For example, a furnace? I don't think that fridges and washers do this but I could be wrong.

Anyway, if they do have a DC type motor, then they might be able to run off DC, too.

DC is for batteries and panels. I won’t use or try to use DC for anything household. Will cost much more in the end.

Your whole house is based on AC 240 split for 120/120 each side. Great, old-school design.
