Hey bud,you gotta think with your brain & not be paranoid,my home power bills are about $400 a month year round & i dont even grow in the home,thats just what the family uses,the electric bill for the building we do grow at is around $800 a month for several years now & i never get any shit,,im not trying to insult but stop & think about these issues.
A standard coffee pot uses 1,000 watts.
Electric space heaters use 1,500 watts.
Sump pump in basement uses 350 watts.
Standard pc's use 400 watts.
Flat screen tv's 300 to 500 watts.
You have a 3 bedroom home,each bedroom has its own personal computer that stays in ready mode 24 hours a day,each room has its own tv set with somebody watching tv in their room 10 hours a day or playing xbox,your wife uses a space heater for that cold spot in the living room,see how fast power adds up.
Hell my home hifi system pulls about 3,500 watts & the home theater room uses over 10,000 watts when we watch movies,you can add an extra 1,000 watts per bedroom without raising any red flags with the power company so for you thats another 3,000 watts.
If a power company does notice a jump in use the most they will do is call you on the phone to ask why,then you tell them your kids are using all their bedroom appliances constantly & that you have pet reptiles that require heat lamps & heat rocks,shit if you pay the bill as soon as you recieve it a human will never even see the bill,all billing is computer generated & not until your late or make partial payments will anybody even see the bill.
