Electric Conversion for Aga Range Cookers
Is your Aga costing you more than you would like?
Are you moving to a property without gas or oil?
Or are you trying to move away from fossil fuels?
If your answer is YES, to any of these questions, then read on...
By converting your Aga with Electrikit, you can dramatically reduce running costs and experience a more flexible cooker, whilst retaining all the qualities of the traditional Aga.
This revolutionary kit offers all the flexibility and low running costs of the latest Aga models but at a lower price point and without needing to replace your existing Aga. Electrikit can be fitted into any existing Aga (subject to condition), including even the very earliest solid fuel models.
​
Electrikit cleverly re-engineers your existing Aga shell for maximum modern efficiency making it considerably cheaper to run than a traditional oil, gas or LPG fuelled Aga.
Over the course of a day the Aga is completely rebuilt, with the loose fill insulation removed and replaced with purpose built insulation blankets with superior insulation properties. Individual elements serve each hotplate, enabling you to individually control each hotplate. Usually the hotplate is turned on for use and is up to full temperature in 30 minutes, the temperature can then be adjusted using the control knobs.
The oven element is fitted between the ovens and the roasting oven temperature easily adjusted on a digital display. The top oven takes around 1-1.5 hours to get up to full roasting temperature from cold, compared to around 6-8 hours that a traditional oil or gas fired Aga. You can also leave the ovens ticking over so they are always ready to go whenever you need them just like with a traditional Aga. The simmering oven runs at approximately 65-70° below the roasting oven temperature. 4 oven conversions have a further control knob for the hot cupboard.

Benefits of ElectriKit
​
1. Independent cooking:
The hobs work independently of each other as does the top oven.
They can all be independently heat controlled meaning you can be frying on one hob, simmering on the other while roasting in the oven or just have on whatever you need when you want it.
“…so in summer you don’t need to suffer oppressive heat from the ovens if all you want is to use the hob…”
2. Improved Heat up times
Heat up times are vastly improved –
-
Frying on either hob takes 10 minutes from a cold hob
-
Baking at 200 deg c takes the top oven 1 hour 35 minutes from cold to be ready “
​
3. Control Panel
No longer do you need the mercury readout – you control each hob and the top oven from simple and easy to operate controls behind the bottom left-hand door (2 door Aga)
The hobs have several settings ranging from simmering to boiling temperatures.
4. Timing your oven to come on
You can choose to operate the oven by timer, again to suit yourself, by switching the oven on 1 hour 35 min’s before you need to e.g.
-
Getting up to a warm kitchen
-
Cooking the family meal in the evening
5. Money saving
As you are only switching on and using energy to cook when you need it you are not paying unnecessarily for the oven to be hot when you are asleep, at work etc
