How likely is it? Electricity company "Red Flagging" your grow

I've heard it doesn't happen and I've heard it always happens. People getting red flagged for using too much electricity. I've got one 400w running right now which pulls 430w, a 2ft T5 that pulls 100w, and a couple fans. To my surprise my 10in fan/heater draws the most watts at a inredible 750w!! But that's besides the point. So like I said I have one 400w hps going right now if I were to plug in my other 2 400w, totaling something like 1260w, would that be suffiecient grounds to raise a couple eyebrows?

I dont have any stats to back it up, so ill use a ridiculous, number, say, 75%. Sure, that sounds good. Id bet 75% of peeps who get busted because of electricity, its due to either stealing the power or not paying their bill. Just a guess. But i concur with other posters, pay your bill and it should be good. Granted if you have like 15x 1k HPS goin, it might draw some attention, who knows....
