    Default Electricity Companies?

    Hey all,

    I have read a few things here and there and thought I'd make a thread to see if people think this is true or if im just being paranoid.

    Basically I've heard that British Gas are actively working with the Police to report on there customers who have suddenly spiked up in using electricity.

    Now I wouldn't care usually but I am "Typical" with British Gas ffs...



    Just like anything with "British" in the name like British Telecoms etc.. are always loving and working with authorities without a problem with the queens seal of approval.

    Do you think I should change to EDF or something before my grow - other power companies dont know my current spending pattern, as British Gas know I currently only spend £30 a month on leccy as I have my own place alone and am hardly here as I stay at my girlfriends who also has her own place... its going to be a big and noticeable jump from £30 up to maybe even £130 a month on leccy.

    OR - will they welcome the new business and stay true to me?

    But I have 3x tents each with 600w hps and each with there own rhino 5" fans and 9" air moving oscillating fans as well as a 3kw oil filled radiator that clicks on when the temps go below 24C so wont be on all the time.

    You dont think I have anything to worry about?

    You dont think British Gas are worse then any other power company.

    3 tents is a bit overkill.... how many plants do you have in each?

    I'd be more worried about a house fire with all that going on.

    My kitchen lights burn 300w, my PC uses 450w.... and like Face says, if you have fish or reptiles then 1800w is nothing!

    Pay the bill & the electric company is happy

    They only notice such things when you've not insulated properly.
    For example, you're using the whole loft in winter, and everyone else house has snow on the roof, and you don't.

    I remember a case in the 80's in Brighton where a copter was tracking a car for some reason. As it was at night, they had the thermal camera on. They noticed a house that was glowing white. According to them the house should be on fire, yet when the looked through their normal cameras, everything looked normal.

    They sent a ground crew to look, and they found that the loft was a farm.

    You really think I have a risk of a house fire guys?

    Im using a plug and grow timer which has its own contactor facility built inside and am using 1 light per socket - i only have 3x sockets in the room.

    For the rest of the stuff i will be using a full unwound extension lead capable of 3120w from a double socket in another room.

    Jeez I dont want no fires...

    My loft will only have the heat from 3x 600w hps going up - the farm is in the room below.

    The loft isnt air tight is it? Im sure the heat will escape some how right? or am I wrong.
