how to keep Electricity down

How do people in here keep the Electricity down? I ask cuz dont that set off an alarm to the cops or someone that can make your day really bad? Or is that not really a problem?

well i always turn off everything by the switch rather than putting it on stand by coz that wastes alot per year, and i turn everything else im not using like if the lights are on in another room im not in. Just the little things that can build up that ever growing electricity bill

police cant get a warrant just cuz u got a big Electricity bill

If you plan on running a couple 400 watt lamps the bill isnt really that much....your AC in the summer is way more

On a related but somewhat enigmatic note, and after a lot of browsing before I ask, what does a Line Conditioner Voltage Regulator do? How does it work?
And how well?

That just smooths out the current/voltage spikes on your circuit. Unless you are running extremely sensitive equipment don't bother.

ok, but couldnt that be a start to an investigation and possiblely getting watch, talking about two 1000 hps

Good stuff, everyone should be doing that anyway. On a related note, you can buy electricty adapters that monitor how much your using on that particular socket. Their quite expensive, but for some people, it would be useful to minotor how much your using, where and when.

that might bump up your bill $150 a month at the very most....look at how much you get charged per KW...so 1080KWs a month if you go 18/6. So .10 per KW would be $108 a month. You probably get charged less than that.

I'm not worried about cost just, the watching eyes
