Do a meter check. Turn everything off – run the appliance for a certain time.. recheck the meter.
Your electricity provider can also help you do the same thing… ring at a non-peak time.
There are devices that measure how much each device is consuming like Sense (https://sense.com/product.html), Current Cost, Ecomind, Efegy, Grid Spy, Owl Family etc. (http://www.energymonitor.org.nz/household-power-cost-kwh-usage-meters). Trustpower customers can receive a appliance monitoring device for the cost of postage while both Trustpower and Meridian customers have an online profile to track power usage
