Meh... Youd be surprised how much some people who arent growing use electricity.
Conserve in other areas and it will be okay...
Now having 20 1,000watters will be a giveaway.. Besides, im not so certain the electric company sees someone using massive amounts of electricity and alerts the police... That'd take from their ends.

That'd be like if the hydro shop turned people in. They'd go out of business. lol

and when I say "light switch" I am referring to this HID SMART controller that will allow you two run 2 lights off of 1 ballasting by switching between lights every 12 hours, allowing you two operating 2 rooms using only 50% of the electricity.

yeah but you will be able to run two grow rooms using half the required ballasts. so rather than having to pull electricity from both, you only need to pull from one, and just set it to switch which port the electricity goes to.

I don't know where you're at, but down here even most studio apartments could run 2000 watts and accessories.

I look at it like this,
If you are in a apartment there is no reason why you should be running over 2000 Watts let alone over 1000.
However if you live in a house the electricity company might figure, Ok the bigger the house then they might need more lights and appliances around the house so that the amount of watts would be normal.
