Aga Cooker Running Costs

Aga Cooker Running Costs:


The fuel types available are Gas (natural or LPG), Oil and 13amp Electric. Our electric models are by far our most popular and come with their own plug timer to allow the cooker to be turned off when it's not in use and back on before you need it. Customers mostly use this through the night to save on their running costs.


Our electric models are also super insulated and ceramic wool is wrapped around the ovens to prevent excess heat loss and conserve energy. There are lots of myths and scare tactics when it comes to the running costs of Aga Cookers. The indications that were supplied originally, were given by Aga Rangemaster who only replaced the burner on each model. Therefore, their 13amp calculations are much higher than our reconditioned models which have been upgraded.


With the controllable models (eControl and ElectricKit), you can reduce running costs further by turning ovens and hotplates on and off when needed, or utilise an automatic timer.


Fuel prices are volatile - the below is a guide only. Does not include servicing costs or maintenance costs.


As always, running costs will depend on usage, any timers installed and your fuel supplier prices.
