I believe most electric utilities are still billing residential only for real power consumption. And most utilities would be happy with residential customers having a bit of capacitance connected as it would counter transmission and distribution reactive losses. Some capacitive load might even minimize the customer's current thereby saving them a bit of line losses.
The real downside could be if the customer's connected capacitance sinks power system resonant or harmonic currents in a big way. Hope those devices are properly fused and everybody's fire insurance is paid up.
