I assume you're referring to a watthour meter, like what's on your service so the POCO can bill you for electricity used. But basically, what you are looking for is a watthour meter, just like what's on your service so the POCO can bill you for electricity used.
Yes, there are sother devices. Emon/Dmon is one that comes to mind.
But.... since this is a fixed load, and power consumed can easily be computed, I'd suggest simply getting out the old calculator and punching in some numbers.

Jason,
Does your customer a perminent metering device--or a basic idea of what something is costing him to operate?? An e-mon device is gonna cost about $500. + install and that will be accurate enough to use for billing purposes.. If it's a temporary thing, just put a data logger on it fpr a week!!!
