How Does It Work?

The ElectricKit Conversion uses electric elements placed around the cooker, to allow individual temperature flexibility, and on/off control - previously unheard of in traditional aga cookers!

Traditional aga cookers have one heat source (a single burner behind the control door, for example). This slowly heats the whole cooker until it reaches optimum operating temperature. The ElectricKit is much more responsive due to the multiple elements. Your top oven can reach cooking temperature from cold in 50 minutes, compared to the 7 hours of traditional single-burner models.

Some benefits of having an Aga Cooker with ElectricKit include:

• All electric - no fossil fuels.
• No flue system required.
• Vastly improved heat up times vs traditional aga cookers.
• Much lower running costs compared to other electric models.
• No loss of heat inside the ovens when you use the hotplates.
• Ability to have only one oven on when needed.
• Ability to run 24/7 if preferred.
• Temperature of each oven and hotplate is user-set. No restrictive pre-set modes.
• Temperature readouts for the Roasting Oven - current and target temp.
• Two controllable hotplates, both capable of boiling temperatures.
  
  

The end result is a fully refurbished, efficiently converted, Aga Cooker.

ElectricKit Running Costs

One of the main reasons clients choose an ElectricKit-Converted Aga Cooker is running costs. The ability to turn separate ovens and hotplates on/off, gives you the ability to massively control your running costs.

You can choose to run your aga flexibly for less than £1 per day, or leave the ovens on constantly for convenience, with slumber temperatures running at approximately £10 per week.

In our experience, most owners choose to keep the ElectricKit System ticking over at a lower temperature, then boosting it if needed. The induction hotplate upgrade is hugely popular too, as it's the most efficient hotplate when it comes to running costs.

ElectricKit Radiant Heat Hob

An expanding 2-zone halogen hob upgrade with controls built into the touchscreen panel of the ElectricKit Advanced.

This can replace either the left or the right hotplate (or both!) and gives you instant access to hotplate cooking. Incredibly powerful and perfect for those who prefer halogen hob cooking, but without the heat up times of the standard solid ElectricKit hotplates.

The hotplate has 24 settings for maximum control and if it is accidentally left at anything above setting 16, it will automatically turn down to setting 12 after an hour. This is another safety failsafe of the ElectricKit to prevent possible repairs.

Upgraded Hotcupboard

The hotcupboard is the left hand section of our 4 Oven Aga Cookers. With the ElectricKit Advanced System, you can upgrade this unit to allow even more flexibility:

• Ability to have temperatures up to 250c in the top left oven, rather than the traditional limit of 125c.
• Controllable on/off warming plate. Instead of heating your whole hotcupboard to use the warming plate, you can turn it on and off when required.
• Upgrade your warming plate to an independent 2-zone halogen hob.
