kill a watt meter
Our local public library has watt meters that they loan out to patrons for a week at a time, long enough to test just about all the equipment in your house (and return the device so that the next person can use it).
The biggest watt gobbler in our house turned out to be an old refrigerator ($94 of electricity/year). I eventually replaced it with a new one that consumes 40% as much.
