Note:  The power company offers an energy rebate on power meters installed
in the home, for monitoring consumption.  I assume they can point one to
a suitable source, if they don't sell them.  Probably, you can also find,
through surplus dealers, watt-hour meters of the type installed in the 
incoming power feed to your house.  They don't read in small number of
units.
