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 April 2024 price cap of £0.245 kw/h .

These figures will of course vary depending on your usage.

Below is a guide to the likely 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
*Model*	kWh	Cost per Week	kWh	Cost per Week	kWh	Cost per Week	kWh	Cost per Week
Total Control	n/a	n/a	54	£13.23	n/a	n/a	107.76	£26.40
Dual Control	n/a	n/a	105	£25.73	n/a	n/a	158.76	£38.90
eControl Series X	36.96	£9.06	Data not yet available		80.64	£19.76	n/a	n/a

Total Control Aga in White — *Total Control*

Dual Control Aga in Cream — *Dual Control*

Below is a guide to the likely running costs when in full setting:

(eControl in full achieves higher temperatures than Total Control and Dual Control)

*Model*	2 Oven		3 Oven		4 Oven with hot cupboard on		5 Oven with hot cupboard on
*Model*	kWh	Cost per Week	kWh	Cost per Week	kWh	Cost per Week	kWh	Cost per Week
Total Control	n/a	n/a	111	£27.20	n/a	n/a	164.76	£40.37
Dual Control	n/a	n/a	143	£35.04	n/a	n/a	196.76	£48.21
eControl Series X	80.64	£19.76	Data not yet available		124.32	£30.46	n/a	n/a

The costings shown above exclude hob use. The running costs for when the hob is at full is as follows:

*Model*	Simmering Plate		Boiling Plate		Both Plates
*Model*	kWh	Cost per Hour	kWh	Cost per Hour	kWh	Cost per Hour
Total Control	0.24	£0.06	0.54	£0.13	0.78	£0.19
Dual Control	0.24	£0.06	0.54	£0.13	0.78	£0.19
eControl Series X	0.39	£0.10	0.48	£0.12	0.87	£0.21

Total and Dual Control hotplates should be turned on only for use, while eControl may be left on eco when preferred. eControl hobs are fully adjustable and have the option of an electric, ceramic hob with INSTAHEAT. 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.

Here is the likely running costs for both 2 and 4 oven Electrickits:

	2 oven		4 oven
	kWh	Cost per Week	kWh	Cost per Week
Electrickit at 180⁰	82.32	£20.17	82.32 + 42 hot cupboard	£20.17+ £10.29 hot cupboard
Electrickit at 220⁰	132.348	£32.43	132.348 + 84 hot cupboard	£32.43 + £20.58 hot cupboard

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.

With the roasting oven set to 180c, the temperature of an Electrickit’s top oven is equivalent to that of the eControl Series X in eco. However, it is difficult to draw direct comparisons due to the difference in running systems. As you can see from the chart below, for example, when the Electrickit’s top oven is set to 180, the bottom oven will be 125. When an eControl top oven is in 180, however, it is in its eco setting and the bottom oven will only provide a low warming temperature of about 60 degrees.

Take a look at how the temperature settings of an Electrickit differ from eControl:

	eControl	Electrickit	eControl	Electrickit	eControl	Electrickit
Top Oven	Eco: 180⁰	Low: 140⁰	Normal: 230⁰	Every day: 180⁰	Full: 230⁰	Full: 230⁰
Bottom Oven	Eco: Nominal	Low: 100⁰	Normal: 115⁰	Every day: 125⁰	Full: 180⁰	Full: 160⁰
