How much electricity is TOO much electricity??

Hey Guys,
Stoned late at night and Im thinking about how costly the 4 1k HPS plus 4 fans, 3 ACs, and charcoal filters + fans are gonna be that im putting into my converted garage? I currently run 2 1k in my back house plus 24/7 ac and a small fan, plus the living cost of 7 individuals so we are at about $330/mo with a discount. How much do you think our bill is to go up with the equipment mentioned in the first line.
I am also concerned about ediso thinking I am using to much electricity is that a thing or am I just paranoid??
Any information would be nice! Thanks!!

you should be able to download a cost calculator from your energy provider.

3 ACs sound a little overkill, I don't know your setup but I am using 1 AC for 3000 Watts of COB/CMH and it keeps it in the 70's

Im going to have 4 1k HPS that are not air cooled so i think they are really gonna heat things up considering im going to be using a bit of Co2 and wont have much air exchange going on. I hope 3 is over kill but I also want one to use by the cabinets I'm going to use to for drying to keep as cold as possible

your much better off using one large one over a few small ones

It's not too much power until one day, suddenly, it is.

4 x 1k lights x 24/7 @ $ .10 kwh= 292 per month


$ 18.00

I would like to maybe just install one large one but the thing is im using my garage and dont want to have to build through anywalls so i chose some 14,000 BTU floor ACs which i can have runnning inside of the room. I am also not very sure what the difference in price would be.

Thank you so much for the calculation and if the lights are not gonna be running 24/7 but 12 on 12 off for flower it should be half of that right? But not including all the fans, filters and ACs From what you gave me my bill is ging to be around 600-700 bucks do you think that is a bg enough bill to call attention to myself??

1) probably not, kwh is billed by hour and time of day charges. you have to look at your local bill to determine those charges.

2) If you are operating illegally then yes you will be noticed
