If you're not running a scrubber, and pulling at full CFM, that would do it.

However, in the real world, I'd have ~400 CFM at minimum.

No, not 1kw. Here in my area, that's a whopping $25 on the electric bill. Doesn't even make an eyebrow twitch.

listen my friend...on your bill it will say how much per kwh you are being charged....so you do a simple math problem of watts(2000)xhow much per kwh you are being charged(lets say 12 cents)=24,000 x how many hours using watts(12 im assuming)=288,000 and divide by 1000 =$2.88 dollars per day to run said wattage..at said times...at said price per kwh....so watts x how many hours using watts x how much you are charged per kwh...and divide by 1000

Relax-----you are in Hydro-electric country. As in Nevada County, California. Check your power bill for killowatt hour charges.

If your boney knees are banging together just thinking about growing weed.....maybe you shouldn't.

dude i live in the same area and its cold as **** right now. your 257cfm fan will slide by till the spring.

I'm running 2000k and I have to shut my fan off because its too cold. I even have to have a heater running on a thermostat to keep it above 60.

ANd my bill is around 50-60bucks with fans, pumps, lights, and a 1500w heater.

Your fan is only around the equivilent of few regular lamp light bulbs.

Don't trip dude!!! We're in Cali, the land of the kinda free!!!
