I don't know but my electric bill is around 1500 hundred dollars a month.
I think the Gro-Lites are eating up a ton of juice.

Seriously; doing this will get the cops/feds to come knocking at your door.

Holy crap that's more than my mortgage payment. You should do like most grow ops do and steal some of the electricity. :biggrin: Or go solar/wind.

Be sure to wear rubber gloves when inserting hacksaw blades into the meter socket. :biggrin:

Don't know how much but my family's actual usage is always under $100/mo. Bill usually ends up to around $150 once the government has finished gouging with it's various taxes and transmission fees. 2200sqft home.

Yeah if I don't count all that extra crap that's added, I'm paying like 50-70 in actual usage while my bills end up around $150. It's kinda sick when you think about it just how much crap gets added on. Even if you were to go off grid you'd have to be 100% off grid and cancel the service or resell electricity to actually save.

Just got my bill from last month. 75kWh per day with an average daily high of 94F. Six of those were over 100.

I had a $266 cooling bill on 3200 conditioned sq/ft. And that's with a 33 day billing cycle. That's pretty good. I had the AC set at 73 full time.
