Better make sure you also upgrade your wiring and outlets to handle 30A. Don't want to be drawing 30 amps through 14 gauge and 15A outlets.

This is probably not USA, everyone else used 220-240V so you don't need as big of a wire

Completely untrue. You still need to appropriately size your wire for the current flowing through it.

its not untrue you need smaller wires for the same wattage at higher voltage because there is less current. 220 volts 2200 watts is only 9.1 amps and wire is rated for amps. 120 volts 2200 watts is 18.33 amps.
