Does anyone know of a website that gives the units of electricity used by different appliances? I apologise if this has been asked before.

I got these estimations off of the powergen website

There is a link on there that lets you look at a PDF format of the list.
I suggest look at your own electricity and gas suppliers website. I hope the list below helps.
