Your power meter only shows cumulative usage, and if they watch the wheel spin, current draw. They can't isolate individual meters for patterns of usage, other than monthly fluctuations. So if you normally use 100 dollars a month, then suddenly your bill jumps to 400 dollars, that will get you maybe noticed. Similar to our water company will call if your bill is suddenly outside your normal usage, they just want to make sure you don't have a leak somewhere.
When I flip on my 1k ballast soon, I will discontinue using several electric heaters, shouldn't be much of a change, since they're 1500W heaters. Keep the graph smooth, they won't notice.
