Adding 1200 more watts to my grow room will it draw suspicion ?

I'm currently in flower running a 400 watt hps with a six inch inline fan..my temps are a steady 90 degrees. Which I believe Is the reason my plant began to droop :(... So I'm going to buy one of those climate control thing-a-magig.. Which is 10 amps at 120 volts..my two questions are does this really work will it create the optimal growing environment? And will my light bill be noticeable?
The rest of my house is running on cfls...and I only saw a 5$ increase since I began growing

hmmmm...well if your suckin fresh hot air from outside its going to be hot in your room....adding fans in there is going to just flow the heat around mainly...my advice is....u need to get rid of that hot air by adding an outtake..(exhaust)....what you could try is do u have anymore holes in tent cos really u don't need a intake..so you could switch your fan from intake to outtake....

Or he could suck through the carbon filter and push through the cooltube, outside... Use a passive intake. You need cold air entering, sucking air through your filter and pushing it through th tube outside will blow all heat outside....

Try to vent into the roof, floor or wall.

seems you are just recycling hot air. I got a 600w light set up....carbon filter----->cool tube--->inline fan---->through ceiling into attic.Temps stay below 80

I vent into the attic and have sealed both my rooms up so air tight that has air gets sucked out fresh fly's in via a hole i made in my window board.....I still have a fan for intake but hardly use it......leave your hatch off the attic and it just warms the upstairs ....:-P
