Power Consumption and the cops, How it is!

[harris7]

Thanks Harris.
Another thing that I believe raises an alarm is when your power consumption triples from what is had been previously.
And a rule of thumb is that your kW/hour usage kind of depends on the siz e of your home... you can get away with 1000w per bedroom that your home is listed as.

Yes sorry, it is Average per sq foot.

sometimes peoples houses are listed to BC hydro as 1000sqft when in reality they are 4000sq ft. and they get raided

I think that proportion of power bill is a good measure. if your op is half your total consumption its becoming a big deal for you.

(itâ??s always been pretty obvious they did it this way. Itâ??s the only practical way they could use power consumption)

I thought I would clear some things up and give out some important info I just found out about. Power consumption IS used to catch growers!!! -I just found this out: In Surrey BC and soon to be in Richmond and others, the electricity company By Law must give info on consumers using 3X or more the average power consumption to the Cops -This may or may not be true were you live. But, you now have an idea of how much power you must use to put Rating: 5
