as long as you pay your bill, u shouldnt have a problem. the electric company wont turn u in for making them more money. maybe u should gradually raise your electric bill over a few months so it doesnt look sketchy, if u use a lot
I have (3) 600's running with 1 CFL light and alot of fans, dehumidifier and other misc appliances and the most my bills ever been is $275, I blow way past that at my workshop when I'm running all my saws and compressors and what not. I wouldn't worry. Just like someone else said pay your bill in full on time and it'll be smooth sailing.
it cost about 40 buck's a month per 1000 watt hps light so. you could run 5000 watt's and still pay under 300 every month for eltricty. pay your bil on time every time no worries at all. The eltric company is there to make money off you the more you use the better for them why would you worry. grow euipment is not illgeal anyway's so who's to say i dont hydroponicly grow my own fruits and what not. my bill is like 520 every month and i have friends who pay over 600 a month in eltricty without even growing just a bunch of tv and keeping the ac at 60.
