Electric Aga Cooker Conversions

Our Electric Aga Cooker Conversions are a quick and easy way to update your Aga Cooker to a modern, electric version of the kitchen classic.



If you're looking for alternatives to oil, gas or LPG when it comes to your Aga range Cooker, you should consider converting your current aga to electric!


By converting your aga range cooker to electric, you can benefit from:


  • No fossil fuels
  • No expensive servicing required
  • Room venting option for flexible positioning
  • No problems with lighting in strong weather
  • No gas or oil smells
  • No carbon monoxide
  • Potentially lower running costs
  • Standard household socket required
  • Thermal Ceramic Fibre Insulation blanket to further reduce running costs

We can currently convert the following types of Aga Range Cookers:


  • Post-1974 model
  • Pre-1974 model
  • Deluxe Solid Fuel
  • Standard Solid Fuel
  • 2 or 4 oven models
  • 3 oven models


13AMP 'ALWAYS ON' MODEL:

This conversion is our most popular. It retains everything you love about the aga, and pairs it with a standard electrical socket (as well as all of the benefits above!). The 13amp Conversion utilises the traditional design of the convection and conduction of heat that the british aga range cooker is known for. As the name suggests, a 13amp fused spur socket is required to run the electric element placed inside the burner.


Once the burner has been replaced, ducting is added to improve convection and regulate heat. The outer barrel and ovens are then wrapped with thermal ceramic fibre insulating blanket to retain stored heat and reduce running costs. The vermiculite is filled and the controls are upgraded. Before the top plate is re-seated, the flue is configured and a full width of ceramic fibre blanket is placed underneath to further reduce running costs. You will still retain the ambient warmth from the two hot plates that are on 24/7, and the heat from the ovens/front plate.


There you have it! Your original aga range cooker that you know and love, just improved and more earth-positive.

ELECTRICKIT CONVERSION:

The Electrickit conversion is gaining popularity throughout the reconditioned aga range cooker market. Aganaughts all over Britain are opting for this controllable conversion to drastically reduce running costs and increase flexibility during the warm summer months!


Running from 2 x 13amp fused spur sockets, they can be fitted with a timer to further reduce running costs. The ElectricKit is an amazing feat of engineering, utilising 3 (or 4) electrical elements, strategically placed in-between the ovens, inside the hot plates and even inside the warming cupboard on 4 oven models.


Due to the positioning and internal electrical components, your aga range cooker will need to be fully rebuilt to carry out the conversion. All of the vermiculite is made redundant and therefore removed from the cooker. The cast iron ashpit and outer barrel are no longer required and also removed from the cooker. The top oven is removed and prepared for the ElectricKit conversion. The heating element is placed between the ovens and then Ceramic Fibre Insulating blanket is wrapped around the ovens to retain the heat. The electrics are installed and connected, along with the control panel. The two hot plates are swapped with specially made hot plates with heating elements incorporated inside. The ElectricKit conversion is complete and the aga range cooker is re-assembled!


You're left with your original aga range cooker , plus independently controllable hot plates, ovens and warming cupboard.

ECONTROL CONVERSION:

The eControl conversion is the newer conversion on the market (released in 2021). It quickly gained a big following due to the improvements over other conversion options. The main advantages with the eControl kit, are the Tri-Element system for even heat distribution and ambient heat, faster heat up times, automatic grilling element, the ability to leave the lids down when on full power and the ECO mode for reduced temperature and running costs.


Running from 1 x 32amp supply, the eControl can be fitted with a timer to automatically turn the supply on/off. To ensure an even distribution of heat, the eControl uses 3 elements for the ovens (plus 1 additional element for the 4 oven models and 2 additional elements for 3 oven models), as well as 2 integrated elements inside the hotplates.


As with the ElectricKit conversion, your Aga Range Cooker will need to be completely stripped down and rebuilt as an eControl model. You retain your cast iron ovens but utilise elements placed above the Roasting Oven, in-between the Roasting and Simmering Oven, then below the Simmering Oven. That's why there is limited Learning Curve with the eControl - you can use your Aga Range Cooker like a traditional model without changing your cooking styles too much.


You are left with your original cooker, plus independently controllable hot plates, ovens and warming cupboard (on 4 oven Series X models).
