An increase from 4MWh to 10MWh over a year based on a single 400 HPS seems imposible. 6MWh/400W = 15.000 burning hours, = 1.250 blossoming days (on 12 hrs cycle) = 156 weeks = 20 harvests On 8 week cycle).... We calculate here in Holland 1.6MWh per 4 x 600 HPS at a 9 week cycle. (Which is 1 week growing at 18 hrs cycle and 8weeks blossoming on 12 hrs cycle)

Even when you would have put on a single electrical heater of 2000W it means you should have had it on for at least 125 days, based upon 24/7 operation.

Seems to be an error indeed. No way the LAN party could have that bill jumped up to this extend. Did you apply electrical heating for the period October-November? If you did, you may consider gas heating rather then electrical.

DAM POWDER PUFF THAT IS A REAL BIG JUMP. MY JAN 05 KWH WAS 3172
JAN 06 KWH WAS 3120
WAIT TIL NEXT MONTH WHEN I SLAP THAT 400W HPS IN, I RUN MY BUISNESS FROM MY HOUSE AND I RUN HEATERS IN MY TRUCKS , SO THEY DONT FREEZE. THEY MUST GET A REWARD FOR TURNING SOMEONE IN, FOR GROWING . SEE THE COMPANY COULD HAVE JUST LET YOU PAY THE 10000KHW BILL AND MAKE MONEY. TO MANY SNITCHES OUT THERE , TRYING TO COME UP.

I had a HUGE electricity jump a couple months ago. At first I thought it was from my lights but it turns out it was a room heater. when the fan kicked off the heating element remained on. Non-stop.

My point is don't assume it's the light. Anything in your house that uses electricity can malfunction and start your meter spinning.

Go outside and watch the wheel on your meter at the time when your lights switch off. See if it slows down when they shut off. If it doesnt then start flipping breakers off until you find which breaker slows it down when shut off. Then find whatever appliances are on the breaker and check them out.

Hi, Puff
I'm a residential electriction and know some of the power guys. I caught my meter reader one day after just starting and he said my bill was up a bit. I laughed and told him I have power tools and a welder, a big one. He wrote it on his paper and said don't worry. I told him it might go up more, he laughed and said no problem. Haven't heard a word since. They just don't want to hear complaint about it being high. Give them a reason and no problems.

400w eats up about 9 amps @ 120v. Yes it's expensive to run lights.

Just tell them you have several computers running for school for a project and they run 24/7

Yea, tell them you have 5 computers running the SETI@home program 24/7.
