It means that the 240 volts is connected directly to the device rather than being connected through an outlet. In some cases an electric box may be wired between the power supply and device and could contain fuses, breakers or a disconnect of some type. For example if you have an outside air conditioner there should be a disconnect box on a wall near the unit. The unit would still be considered to be hard-wired.

Can you replace 240 volt service with two 110 volt service?
Generally, yes. Most US home services are 220 volt (240, 220 are `nominal' names) which are split into two 120 volt legs. You can find wiring information ont he internet, but generally, the 220 volt systems have a 120 volt leg, a common ground and then another 120 volt leg. Added together, they're 220 volt but by splitting them, you'll end up with two 120 volt legs. If you're not sure about how to wire them up, contact a qualified electrician to help you.
