your electric company does not care what you use. just don't steal the electricity. the most common way for the police to get a warrant is when they discover someone is stealing electricity. i currently have one grow that is five thousand watts in the flower room, with ac, and about twelve hundred watts in a veg room. my utilities rarely exceed four hundred and fifty a month. oh, its hydro. one thing to consider, when running a large flower room, do your on light cycle from say seven pm to seven am. when a meter reader comes around they will never see the meter spinning very fast, and won't even think twice about it.
