holy crap someone on there looks just like you.

in BC i dont know about other places. We use power meters in the house which measure the amount of power one uses. They come every 3 months and look at the meter. Big grow ops hire someone or have someone that bypasses this device so they get free power. This is because the only measure of the consumption is at house level.

They have no way of detecting when you use the power, they only know the average use over the period.

If they could detect when you are using power then they could detect when peoples use doesn’t match the meter (bypassing). So the big ops wouldn’t get by.

Isn’t there a device that regulates spikes, if so. Why do people have them?
harris7 Reviewed by harris7 on . Power Consumption and the cops, How it is! There is always a lot of talk about this. 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
