A 220 vac circuit has 2 hot wires and a neutral. The neutral stays at 0 volts and the hot wires vary between positive and negative. When one is positive, the other is negative.

Can you replace 240 volt service with two 110 volt service?

Generally, yes. Most US home services are 220 volt (240, 220 are `nominal' names) which are split into two 120 volt legs. You can find wiring information ont he internet, but generally, the 220 volt systems have a 120 volt leg, a common ground and then another 120 volt leg. Added together, they're 220 volt but by splitting them, you'll end up with two 120 volt legs. If you're not sure about how to wire them up, contact a qualified electrician to help you. House wiring can be very dangerous if you don't know what you're doing as well as lethal. When in doubt, don't.
