These days 220vac is usually for *big* current draws, like electric ranges and clothes driers. Fortunately it uses a different plug....:-)

If the dialysis machine is dimming the lights, you may be close to the capacity of that branch circuit. Keep alert for the possibility of a tripped breaker; if you haven't already, find out where the panel is now before you need to find it in the dark.
