The easiest way would be to get a large 220v circuit and run it through a transformer. If you could get a 220v 200a service you could step it up to 440v 100a (minus transformer losses). 3 phase is not feasible for most houses right now. Large segments of neighborhoods would need to be rewired. I can imagine companies will start roughing in 3 phase to at least the street level in newer developments in the near future.

I thought pretty much every utility pole already has three phase power on it? There's three transmission lines on each pole, are those not the three phases?

EDIT: No I'm dumb, that would be +/-/N...right?
