One way is to use/buy a testing meter called an Amp Probe. You need to be a bit familiar with electrical wiring to use one as you must have access to the individual hot wire feeding the load, not both hot and neutral as in the cord supplying a device. One such access point would be in the breaker box. Typical cost is apx. $80, but I bought one on EBAY from China for $10 (been working fine for years). There may be other means to do so, not sure what though.

Our electric bill this month jumped from $78 to $258
By process of elmination...watching the wheel spin on the meter while plugging and unplugging things, we decided that the two water heaters in the stock tanks may have gone bonkers. Not 100% sure
Are there things made that we can use to test electrical items to see how much they are pulling? What are they called and where can they be purchased?
