Turn off the heater and measure dT/dt.

Or just design the apparatus as others have suggested (dewars
etc.), so that heat leaks are negigible in comparison to what
you're trying to measure.

This whole thread seems to revolve (implicitly or perhaps
explicitly) around the hypothesis that energy might not be
conserved.
