You would expect a qualified electrician to wire a building to spec, right? Trust... but verify

"While its mentions 110V the spec is actually 120V... Here in the UK/EU it is simpler, with a nominal 230V"

To be fair, that nominal 230V is only because the UK already used 240V while most of the EU used 220V, so they just split the difference and called it close enough. I assume the US has a similar reason related to their federal system for having the nominal differ from the spec.
