To measure electricity you use a multimeter to display voltage, resistance, amperage, etc. But to measure the rate at which you use electricity, I would recommend a Kill-A-Watt device, which tells you how much electricity appliances in your home are using, among other useful information.
AnswerWhen you say 'electricity usage', you presumably mean 'energy consumption'? If this is the case, then you measure energy consumption using an energy meter which expresses energy consumption in kilowatt hours.
That's called a meter.
Meter
Usually in homes its just the gas meter that is checked often by city workers.
Electric energy is measure in Units which are kilowatt-hours. Your electricity meter records the usage in Units over the billing period. The meter measures the true power and not the volts times the amps.
A compass.
A device that measures natural gas is called a a meter
Depends a bit on what kind of meter you're talking about. If it's the kind that measures usage: Electricity isn't free. No matter what, it has to be made somehow. And making it always cost money in some way. Electrical meters are important so that the guy using the electricity also ends up paying for the electricity. If not. the supplier would eventually go out of business.
The usage is measured by gas and electricity meters. A gas meter measures the volume of gas passing through. An electricity meter is an energy meter which measures the kilowatt-hours use.
The device that measures how much electricity is used is called a meter.
Ammeter

A multimeter can measure different things related to electricity, including current and voltage.
Electricity supplied was measured by electricity meter. Some time the electricity meter is called energy meter since it is the primary energy of most common household.
This instrument is a balance.
A tiltmeter measures changes in the tilt of the earth. :)A tiltmeter is an instrument that measures changes in the tilt of the earth. :)
A calorimeter measures heat. In contrast, a thermometer measures temperature.A thermometer bolometer - an instrument that measures heat radiation; extremely sensitive calorimeter - a measuring instrument that determines quantities of heatHeat is measured with a ThermometerThermometerThermometer or calorimeterThermometerthermometerHeat is measured with a thermometer.

The usage of transformer is to produce electricity from a main electric unit
A thermometer measures molecular energy.
