Controllable Agas and their Energy Usage
Controllable Agas offer lower running costs than traditional models. Here we have provided estimates for the weekly cost based on extensive factory and ‘real life’ testing, using the October 2025 price cap of 26.35p kw/h.
These figures will of course vary depending on your usage.
Below is a guide to the likely weekly running costs of your controllable Aga when in eco or slumber mode:
| Model | 2 oven | 3 oven | 4 oven with hot cupboard on | 5 oven with hot cupboard on | Unit price (pence) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dual Control | £0.06 per hour 0.24 kWh |
£0.14 per hour 0.54 kWh |
£0.21 per hour 0.78 kWh |

Total and Dual Control hotplates should be turned on only for use. Using flexibility of temperatures will reduce consumption.
Electrickit Running Costs
Electrickit data is produced differently and therefore unfortunately not directly comparable to other controllable models.

Want to save even more?
For greatest savings, utilise a timer for the ovens, bringing up to temperature as and when required.
For good savings, run the Aga at a low temperature of 120 - 130⁰, bringing up to 180-200⁰ for use.
For moderate savings, run the ovens at 180⁰ continually.
Always leave the hobs off, turning on only for use.
For 4 oven models, leaving the ovens at setting 4 will result in far greater savings versus setting them at 8. Alternatively, only turn on the hot cupboard for busy cooking days or when more room heat is required.

4 oven Agas with the optional high temperature hot cupboard may use up to an extra 1.96kWh per week, which under October 2025 energy prices is £0.52. Energy consumption also varies depending on optional hob types and whether an independent warming plate is installed.
