you're going to run 8000 watts and you're worrying about the electric bill? Seems a little strange but, it's going to be very high.8 times what it currently is i'm guessing.

8000x12x30=KWH for the month. Then you just have to find out how much your electric company charges per KWH.

Probably about 3 grand a year extra. At $.10 per KWH it comes to about $3,500 per year which is around $300 extra per month.

Now, if you are going into business you better get a lot better at math.;)
