Do you have a Smart meter?
If not why don’t you contact your energy provider and ask for one as it shows you how much energy you’re using in near-real time. With your smart meter in-home display, the energy usage of any household appliance can be measured as long as that appliance is connected to your gas or electricity supply.
Always make sure to keep note of what your usage is before you turn on the appliance you’re checking.
