Aga Running Costs
How Much Does it Cost to Run an Aga Cooker?
We offer a wide range of Refurbished Aga Cookers, from the traditional 'always on' oil models, to the flexible electric conversion systems. Each come with their own features, characteristics and estimated energy consumption.
With the energy price hikes, it's important to consider which model suits your lifestyle and budget best.
Let's take a look at the running costs of Aga Cookers, using a standard UK energy tariff.
How Much Does an Aga Cost to Run?
Traditional Oil, Gas and 13amp Aga Cookers are designed to be always on and ready to use.
Back when energy prices were lower (and more stable!), these were very popular for throwing lots of ambient heat into the room and the convenience of cooking whenever needed with an 'always hot' oven/hotplate.
As times progress, more people prefer flexibility and the option to control their running costs by turning parts of the Aga Cooker on/off or up/down whenever needed. This is why our ElectricKit Conversions are so popular, alongside the induction hob upgrades.
It's hard to measure the different models like-for-like, as they all have different purposes. The traditional models will always be on, whereas the ElectricKit Conversions are designed to be used flexibly. All of our Refurbished Aga Cookers have British-Made, cast iron ovens which work best when saturated with heat.
Weekly Aga Running Costs:
Oil, Gas and 13amp are measured running 24/7, as recommended.
ElectricKit and eControl conversions are designed to be used flexibly for cheaper running costs vs traditional models.

With the ElectricKit and eControl, you would tend to use these flexibly when looking to reduce your running costs, but you also have the option of leaving the hotplates and/or ovens on 24/7 for more ambient heat into the room in the cooler months.
