My friend, an ex-commercial grower in canada stole power, paid some crooked electrician $5000 bucks to dig to the main wire, and bypass the electric meter.

Just to let you know:
AC units for single large rooms eat 1000-2000 watts
Your computer eats 350-500 watts
Your monitor eats 50 watts

So if you think, summer, you got 1 small ac on, and 1 big one, that's ~3000 watts (but ac's turn off and on...)
You got 3 computers in your house, that's 1000-1500 watts.

I would suggest in his new house, not to use a huge fridge, freezer, don't keep the tv on when not watching, turn off all other lights (cut down on outdoor lights, etc), don't use your microwave too often, don't vaccuum too often, don't use electric water heaters or electric heaters (if you have winters there), etc.

If you do that, you can easily get 1 AC unit for cooling, and 4 Lamps, and you looking kinda normal.

If you got a big house, then of course, it'll look more normal to use more electricity.
