Also in addition to what Satie said 240V is balanced, so less likely to cause hum. The power company is doing you a big favor for free.
Downside, it's more dangerous if something goes wrong. You should also order new 240V connectors and receptacles (if you've rewired it yourself) so nobody plugs a 120V device into the outlet. I did that once when I moved into a new apartment with a miswired outlet and the next morning, discovered that my new torchiere lamp had melted!
Make sure you have a full 240V, if the cheapskate power company have you 2 legs of 3-phase commercial power like me you'll only have 207V and are better off using a single 120V line.
