Where i live just the lights would be over 1 dollar a hr.just Pay the bill,no worries.Im disabled and read my own meter just write it down so i know if there screwing me,and trust me they have misread it a few times.No money back of course just take it off next month.
 
Well, in California a busy place like los angeles residential Edison rates are the worst
they are structured on tear levels (5 total) you start with a base (which is ridiculous),
then for each tier that you consume....the rate gets higher. And that ac unit how much
is that going to consume....220v@25 amps+ (more $). I would recommend a warehouse
with live in quarters where a commercial rate is "flat". Example: Commercial flat
rate .11 to .16 cents, Residential tier 5 rate .33+ cents (Yikes!) Next time you go
shopping at the hydro store get a catalog (usually are free) most have a section on
calculating electrical usage and find out what the rates are for your area. A solar
powered (grid tie) home or business will help supplement usage.
 
if your a medi grower why do you need 8k watts? ;)

you should be alright but i wouldnt fire them all up at once and create a spike
 
spikes are meaningless to consumption but matter to the circuit breaker only, they have smart meters but the can't tewll whats on, pay ya bill on time and be a good neighbor. I had a warehouse in LA for years and smell control is where you should concern yourself, imo.
 
I would think that ita not a big deal because your in cali and legal. If you were somewhere its not legal than i would be worried.
