Residential power is traditionally measured in watts, not V-A.  Commercial
power is typically measured in V-A, with an additional fee for power factor
problems.

You
have to measure the power draw and you have to measure it in volt-amps, not 
watts
because that's how residential power is measured (at least in North America).  
Buy an
energy meter that shows volt-amps.  They're relatively cheap - typically less 
than $50.
