Electric Conversions:
We offer electric conversions for Aga cookers using the 'Electrikit' conversion kit with independently controlled ovens and hot plates.
We can convert your 2 or 4 oven Aga cooker from oil or gas to Electric.
Now is the perfect time to convert your Aga to Electricity. In 2018 a record 33.3% of the UK's electricity supply was generated from renewable sources, primarily onshore and offshore wind generation ( UK Government Statistics: ).
Reasons to convert:
- Improved heat up times: Top oven from cold to 200°C takes 1 hour 45 mins (approx times), Hot plates cold to frying 10 minutes (approx times)
- More precise oven Temperature with digitally controlled thermostat
- No servicing required
- No flammable fuels needed, no Carbon Monoxide risk
- No flue system
- Flexible controls meaning the Aga can be cool in the summer and warm in the winter
- Simple to use control panel
- Timers can be used for oven and hot plates
- Reduced running costs
Technical information
2 Oven Aga cooker:
One element sits between the 2 ovens that controls the oven temperatures. The temperature is controlled by a simple easy to use digital control. Simply set the desired temperature on the digital control and the top oven will heat up to desired setting. From cold to 200°C this takes approx 1 hour 45 minutes. The hot plates are independently controlled using their own thermostats and elements. Frying from cold takes approx 15 minutes.
4 Oven Aga cooker:
An extra element with its own control is added to heat up the left hand ovens.
Electric supply:
2 x 13 amp fused switched spurs are required. Alternatively a split 30 amp supply can be used. We require this supply to be fitted by your electrician, then we can connect your converted Aga to this supply.
Oven temperatures:
These are approx temperatures after the top oven as heated up and been allowed to settle for around 30 minutes.
- Top 160°C, Bottom 100°C
- Top 200°C, Bottom 135°C
- Top 230°C, Bottom 160°C
Running costs:
Every household will use the Aga cooker differently so it is difficult to have an exact idea of running costs. Here is an example of usage:
- Autumn 3 months, timed operation, 454 kW used
- Winter 3 months, 24 hour operation, 708 kW used
- Spring 3 months, timed operation, 615 kW used
- Summer 3 months, manually operated, 287 kW used
- The hobs were used only when required, this gave a total annual usage of 2064 kW used.
Heating from cold:
- Hobs: from cold to 365°C, 30 minutes, 0.7 kW used
- Oven: from cold to 200°C, 1hr 35 minutes, 2.7 kW used
- Oven: from cold to 235°C, 2hr 2 minutes, 3.6 kW used
