How to measure electricity

Is there a meter or an obligation from Utilities
companies to measure the electricity in a home?

Totally ignorant about this.  Not sure, if its coming from
the meter (not a smart meter) or home applicances.

It from appliances, which gadget should I look for to measure,
and also, what is considered "safe"...

Many thanks

Assuming you want to measure magnetic field, sometimes a utility will do
this for free. They are not required to do so.
You can easily do it yourself. You will need a gaussmeter. You will get
magnetic fields wherever current is flowing.

The "safe" level is not known, and probably varies from person to person.
We recommend 2.5 mG limit for prolonged exposure.

Two friends at work discovered a free application for their particular phone that measures EMF in Tesla units, which we convert to mGauss. Very easy to measure.

However, ES symptoms are caused by frequency, not by field strength.  Some frequencies are actually more biologically active at very low field strengths.  A Gauss meter will only tell you the strength of 50 and 60 Hertz magnetic fields.  It will not meter the frequencies that cause ES symptoms.

Are there meters that will measure for frequencies, Shivani?

However.........this opinion is not supported by everyone on this group.

Sure.

But Shivani is partly right.

A real good Gauss- or Tesla meter will measure also in a frequency band outside the 50/60 Hz.
I find disturbing frequencies from 0.1 Hz up to 30 MHz, mostly between 3 MHz end 15 MHz.

And I fully agree with Shivani, the field strength is not so important for electrosensitives.
Also, today I visited an electrosensitive, who is strongly harrassed by very tiny weak signals.

I agree completely with the second sentence. But the 3rd sentence is
generally not correct. AC gaussmeters can measure a wide variety of
frequencies, depending on the model.
