Question

Where do can I find a 220 switch or can a convert a single 110 switch to do the job?

Answer 1

220 in North America is simply 2 110 lines. You need to use a double switch or breaker.

Answer 2

Actually, you just need to check the rated voltage on the metal section of the switch you're using.  Many of them are rated at 230 Volts, carrying a max. 15 amps.  They would work just fine.   Have put many of them on water pumps wired for 220 with no problems.    

Answer 3

  Check at Lowe's or Home Depot, they have loads of them. Just ask the guy in the elect. department to help you. Tell him you want a double pole 220 switch.
