Is this a new home lou?
If so, grab the old energy usage statistics from the power company.
Tell them you want the average useage from the meter of this home.
Check it to your first bill and if you have excess, that is free wattage.
then add the 1000w per room. It is a very safe bet.
That equals out to having a computer and tv in each room.
Or a tv and heater in another.
A small space heater is 1000-1500w all by itself.
They wouldn't flinch in the least bit over 2000w.
Stay peaceful

You guys are worried about NOTHING. There profits are tied directly to usage.They LOVE profits.
Report your usage to who, LEO , based on what, " the bills high . Could you imagine the lawsuit if they pass on "suspicious consumption" and guess what the guys growing tomatoes or running a kiln or hottub. Then Leo kicks in the doors. Get out their wallets.
No ,No, No, this is a very bad thing, very expensive and someone elses problem
Much, Much, Much better to take profits and say nothing

As well many companies have privacy policies. Do you have to hop through hoops too prove who you are to talk about your account when dealing with anyone.If so it means there not going to tell anyone shit about you. BUT steal from them and your FUCKED.

By the way LOU 2 kilowatts is fuck all, My bill went up 20% easily explained away and I'm surprised anyone with your balls would ask LOL

Yea it could have been "phenominal" had they not stolen the electricity,people will never learn.These are businesses that dont like being stolen from,they'll give you just as much juice as you want so long as you pay for it.There could be exceptions of course like that couple in Cali that used a lot of power washing clothes and was raided,that's very unusual and I bet there was a bit more to that story.Something domestic no doubt.Those real estate people shouldv'e known this and probably did but let greed sway their judgement,it which case see ya later prison gater.

business's exist for one reason and one reason only.

to make MONEY!!!

i think it would be rather moronic for the power company to go to the leo and say, so and so has a really high bill, pays every month, but we think hes using too much juice, go see if hes growing something illegal....NOT...

the power company itself is nothing to worry about if you pay your bill, but a snoopy meter reader could TRY, to ruin your day, but the cops dont break down doors based on a meter-readers word......
 
There are ways to "manipulate" your meter where it runs, without having to"turn it upside down" and all that crap.

I know people who have done this, and it's been like that for years. It just slows down the "disk" in the meter say 1 turn for every 3 it should....

In my neck of the woods, the meter reader no longer has to walk around and get a visual on every meter. The meters have a transmitter that they can read from inside the truck as they troll by. They still might notice suspicious activity. I have no motive to try to steal with only 400W of grow.
 
Als elec bill was 1,500 + for one month. after he won, the local news where als from, put his NES bill on the news saying he didnt practice what he preached in his movie.

HC, 25kw operation will use about 9 megawatts per month just in flower time. The bill will be more like $1,000-$1,300, but you are correct. Just pay the bill. It is hard to justify a 9,000 kilowatt hour useage in any house. About half of that is justifiable if several people live there and there is a hot tub or spa. People always want to max out the space in the house and cannot justify using that much electricity, so they steal it. They might survive for a while, but not for long.

iunno man ive had bills at one of the old grow rentals.. that only ran 6000w of lights.. and maybe another 6000w in everything else.. and r bill was 1000 $ a month..

i know a kid who grows in his house who he has roomates with.. and he has 9 people living in a 5 bedroom house.. and they pay 1700$ a month for electric.. theres an AC a big screen .. xboxs computers and more in Each ROOM.. and a 7000w grow ..

i don't get how his was that high .. but i have a feeling that ventilation and AC will bring ur BILL SKY ROCKETING if ur using the wrong size shit to exhaust and cool.

I repeat this a lot. Some people really worry about the wrong things. Sure if you HAVE to run 20+ lights in one place then yeah take the chance in stealing it. More than likely you'll have FPL down here knocking at your door using that much power on the meter.

In a 3 BD apt. I was staying in a while back with my folks was using 100+kw a day. IDR the exact number I just remember saying damn, that's enough power for 10+ bulbs @ 12/12 (w/ no AC). Another place that was built <1950 was using around the same amount. This place had 5 window bangers and old appliances.
