well, 1000W is one is 1kW. your electricity is probably billed in kilowatt hours, or what it cost for 1kW or electricity per hour of usage.

so calculate 1kW x the price of your kilowatt hour x the average days in a month.

One more thang: multiply that by the number of hours the lights are on each day, probably around 12 (der). And your ballasts may add few hundred watts as well.

Prolly gonna be like 2.3kW x 12hr x 30 (days) x cost per kW hour. But your guess is good. :rasta:

do the math sport.... the only thing he didn't give you is the KWH rate for your electric company.... that would be on your power bill.
its simple arithmetic.

In my area it would be about $50 a month for 2 1000w hps

there are some other factors also,your going to be switching from 18/6 so one month its going to be much higher. call your power provider and see if there is a limit on kwh before the charges go up. for example,i use pge and i am alloted a base number of kwh at 16 cents a piece,but when im in 18/6 my bill damn near doubles because i pay upwards twards 29-30 cents a kwh.its bull shit.if you live in the bay area to run one 1k 18/6 is ruffly 90 to 110 bucks.u might consider using 3 600 watts if you have the cash to buy an extra lamp,great light coverage,cheaper pge,and u dont loose 2 many lumens.oh yeah and much less heat than the 1000's:thumbsup:
