It's not about paying your bill, It's when you bill is a lot more expensive then what a normal house should be pushing out, then you get red flagged and they will
let the police know that something is going on...
2 get rid of this problem???
Buy a generator!
Hi there
i am a legal grower in canada and run 30 k in one building and 14 k in another, same proprty 2 different metres. The 30 k garden first started up and i didnt see a leccy bill for 2.5 months. I called the company and they thought they had read the metre wrong. I explained that i ran a business and they said ok...... my bill showed up and everything has been ok for 2 years now.
My 14 k building started 3.5 monthsaho and i still havnt seen a bill yet.
will be calling tuesday.
dds
It's my experience the electric companies are way more concerned about people by-passing meters (not paying for electricity). People normally by-pass to eliminate high use detection. They regulary monitor neighborhoods to make sure what they are delivering to an area is being legally used and accounted for. So, for an example, they will add up the usage for 10-25 houses and see if that agrees with that they are delivering to that area. This detects if anyone is by-passing their meters. If that's the case, an investigation is started........
If I was a building inspector and I heard kiln I would think pot. Not that many potters out there. To go big you need a/c so get a permit for that and the future. Service panels jump from 200 to 400A so it is not that big of a deal. JK
Ok how bout 6-10K, you folks just paying your bill on time as well?
About the only place I can believe that would happen would be communist China. MAYBE in the now defunct USSR, but CERTAINLY not here in the US or Canada where we still pay lip service to personal liberties and freedoms. Beleiev me, the Cops know we worry about that as much as FLIR
This is not the best idea , but i have a friend who works for the power comany here in nb canada , and he told me how to get around the meter . Where the pole comess into the house , if it goes threw the attic go into the attic and cut a hole into the pipe . Then you need these special high voltage connectors which go over the wire and a metal object goes threw the plastic casse . then u run the wires to a servive entrance that u have bought seccond hand , from a construction comany or anyone who would have one . OR build it brand new . this isnt reccommmend because you are basically stealing the power , i have never done this , it was just talked about one nite while we were drinking . It is very duable , and is safe as long as u have some electrical experience , jsut do not touch the live and ground at the same time . but make sure to draw about 10 , 000 watts or more form your own meter. I hope ive been some help . but please know the risk that u are talking , alot of people frown on this , but up here the power companys are goverment owned they pilfer use , at the moment i pay 50 bucks a month in my apt , and 30 bucks of it is service fees .. but they can give out millions in bonuses to there head ceo's . SO please do not judge
