Depends on your residential utility power meter.
Every one claims that the spinning disc style electro mechanical will only read Watts, actual power consumed.
I have done experiments that show other wise. Maybe my power meter is broken...
Then the new digital power meters I have seen have "55% P.F." and "80% P.F." counters. The "55% P.F." counter is new, was not there several months ago.
