Lower voltage shouldn't matter since they sell the power button the watt, which is the product of voltage multiplied by the amps. So 100 volts x ten amps is 1000 watts, but if using 120 volts then the amps are only 8.3 to make the 1000 watts but you are still using the same 1000 watts. However if the wire is too small then the resistance in the wire increases the amps aND increases heat in the wire which in turn increases resistance more. So the the 1000 watt load now has an added load of, for example, 1 amp. Not much but over time it adds up. When I was in the electrical apprenticeship my teacher said that if a person wired a house and upsize the required wire 1 size for everything the power savings would pat for the increased size of wire after X many of years.
