eControl Conversion for Aga Cookers

INNOVATIVE. EFFICIENT. FLEXIBLE.

The modern eControl System can be installed into one of our Fully Refurbished Aga Cookers, or as a Conversion for your existing Aga Cooker.

As you can see, there will be quite a few electrical elements inside the aga cooker post-eControl conversion. The placement of the elements improves heat up times (the quickest on the market!) and mimics traditional cooking styles. Due to these elements targeting direct heat to your cast iron ovens, there are a few redundant parts.

The old cast iron conductions and convection ducts are removed, alongside the burner pit, cast barrels and heavy cast hotplates. We usually take these away for recycling to save you the hassle, but you are more than welcome to keep anything you might find a use for.

Once all of the loose-fill vermiculite and the redundant cast iron parts are removed from your Aga Cooker and loaded onto our van, the eControl Conversion can begin!

Your original cast iron ovens are modified slightly to make way for the new eControl thermostats and venting. They are then rebuilt in situ. The eControls Tri-Element system is strategically placed around the Right Hand ovens, and the new hotplates are fitted (with their integrated elements). A new insulation blanket is wrapped below, around and above the ovens to reduce excess heat loss and keep your energy bills down.

With your traditional 'always on' Aga Cooker, you don't have to think about heat up times - it's always on! Unfortunately, this means that it's always using energy (even overnight). The eControl Conversion makes your Aga Cooker efficient, giving you the flexibility of turning parts on and off, as well as turning temperatures up and down. If you'd like to turn your eControl Aga Cooker off, or on a more efficient 'slumber' setting, you will need to know about pre-heat times.

Bear in mind, you can utilise a third-party timer to automatically turn either your hotplates on/off, or your ovens on/off. This way, you won't need to *think* about pre-heating your eControl Aga Cooker! Time it to reach temperature by breakfast, turn off over lunch then back up to full temperature for dinner, before turning off overnight - perfect.

As with every Aga Cooker, each one will have its own idiosyncrasies and will run slightly different (one of the joys of individual, non-conventional cookers!). Your eControl Conversion will be similar, with every family having their own lifestyle and habits.

• If your main priority is low running costs, you have the ability to run your Top RH Oven as and when required - even timing them to come on automatically. You can use the hotplates as and when required, but they are the most expensive part to run. Utilising the floor of your (already on) ovens will be more efficient.

• If your main priority is ambient room heat, you have the ability to turn your Top RH Oven to a full roasting temperature (between 220c-240c), and turn on both hotplates to ECO, with their lids down. Of course, your running costs will increase when your cooker in on full power.

For a nice in-between, and quicker heat up times, we recommend utilising the ECO setting on the ovens, which automatically turns your Top RH Oven into a Baking Oven (180c), and turns other ovens off. You can then switch to manual mode when hotter temperatures are required.

The manufacturers of the eControl System have given us consumption data for each modes. We'll list these in kWh to allow you to do your own calculations based on your own energy tariff (make sure to check your unit cost and daily standing charge).

All prices and consumption data are approximations and will change with the size of the room, weight/temperature of food and frequency of use.

An Induction hob will drastically reduce hotplate consumption.

Our eControl Conversions include VAT and Free Delivery to mainland UK. If you contact our office, we can write up an official inclusive quote to lock prices in for 30 days.
