Your Options:
There are several Electric Conversions for Aga cookers on the market. Among them are the widely popular Electrickit Classic and the innovative Electrickit Advanced, which offers the highest level of programmability on the market. Other choices include various independent 13 Amp conversions.
ElectricKit Classic
A long-standing favorite at Rural Ranges, the Electrickit is the original controllable electric conversion for Aga cookers. Manufactured by Oilwarm of Cullompton—a trusted supplier of Aga parts and the company behind Woodwarm stoves—the Electrickit has been a popular choice since its launch in 2012, rapidly gaining popularity over the last 5 years as more suppliers and users championed the product. In September 2023, the new Classic Edition was introduced, combining the simplicity and reliability of the Original model with faster than ever heat up times, a superior cooking experience and even greater flexibility and control.
Key Features:
Full 0 - 280 c temperature control ~ Optional induction upgrade ~ Optional Wifi control ~ Independently controlled hobs with 0-8 temperature settings ~ Independently controlled hot cupboard (4 oven) with 8 settings
Key Advantages:
Reliable, time proven product ~ exceptionally low running costs ~ Room heat when you want it, not if you don’t ~ Flexible for a busy lifestyle ~ Run traditionally or fully flexibly ~ Excellent heat retention ~ Ovens reach saturated temperature faster than competitors ~ Both right hand ovens can be used for simmering, baking, roasting and anything in between ~ Precise temperature readings for more accurate control ~ Optional Wifi ~ Optional induction
Key Disadvantages:
Hotplate heat up times slightly slower than Electrickit Advanced ~ Less room heat than a conventional Aga ~ Programmability limited to on / off control ~ no digital display for bottom oven ~ no digital display on 3 oven
ElectricKit Advanced
The Electrickit Advanced is the most innovative, programmable Aga on the market. A true trailblazer in the market, it offers the revolutionary ability to remotely control each oven, setting the temperature you need, exactly when you need it.
With customisable rest settings, your Aga will return to your preferred temperatures at the touch of a button, ensuring energy efficiency and no longer being tied to the demands of a fuel-hungry beast! A well regarded, thoroughly tested and trusted system, building on the success of the Original and Classic but re imagined as the ultimate cooker for the modern day. This system eliminates energy wastage, provides complete flexibility of temperature and offers a whole host of optional features.

Key Disadvantages:

13Amp Agas
Aga’s own 13Amp Aims conversion is no longer available, so at Rural Ranges (Dorset based, covering England, Wales and internationally), we offer an independent 13Amp conversion system from a trusted supplier. The 13Amp system will give you the feel and function of a traditional gas or oil Aga but on electric.
13Amp systems vary widely in quality and buying from a well reputed established supplier is therefore crucial. The shared characteristic between these systems is their reliance on the traditional Aga layout, with a single element heating the whole Aga, with resultingly high running costs. In our experience, the 13Amp conversion is the right answer in only a fairly limited number of circumstances.
Key Features:
Full 0 - 280 c temperature control ~ Optional induction upgrade ~ Optional Wifi control ~ Independently controlled hobs with 0-8 temperature settings ~ Independently controlled hot cupboard (4 oven) with 8 settings
Key Advantages:

Why should I convert?
The Electrickit system captures much of what we love about traditional Agas but is far more economical and provide enhanced control and cooking flexibility. Low-maintenance and service-free, it require less upkeep than traditional Agas. Whether you enjoy the classic Aga experience or a more versatile setup, this system puts you in control—allowing your Aga to adapt to you, not the other way around.
If you’re looking for the traditional Aga ambiance with a greener energy source, you can keep those ovens on, dry your laundry, and let your Electrickit be the warm, reliable heart of your home.

I'm a bit nervous of how cooking might be different with an electric Aga. Can I get any tips?
With a few simple adjustments to your cooking style, you’ll achieve perfectly succulent meats, crispy potatoes, and moist cakes, just like you’re used to.

What models can be converted?
The Electrickit Classic system can be used to convert any oil, gas, 13Amp or solid fuel model. It is suitable for both pre and post 74 Agas, and therefore can be fitted into almost any existing Aga subject to condition. It is suitable for the Aga Standard (Heritage) model, along with special editions.
2, 3 and 4 oven Agas can be converted with the Electrickit Classic. Our reconditioned Electrickit Classic Agas are available in the 2, 3 or 4 oven format.
The Electrickit Advanced can be used to convert any post or pre 1974 oil, gas, solid fuel, solid fuel converted, 13Amp or 30Amp (Economy 7 / night storage) Aga. It is also suitable for special edition models.
2, 4 or 5 oven Agas can be converted with the Electrickit Advanced.
How reliable are converted Agas? I'm worried about potential repair costs.
Our 5-year warranty ensures that your Aga will be fully maintained by us for years to come, with options for continued service and maintenance once the warranty period ends. Unlike some systems found in new Agas, our conversions are designed without expensive-to-replace PCBs, meaning that, in the rare case of future repairs, parts costs remain reasonable.
The Electrickit is renowned for its reliability. We carry nearly all parts on our vans, and with hundreds of conversions completed over more than 7 years, we've very rarely needed to replace components. Each part functions independently, so in the unlikely event of a failure, your Aga will almost always continue to operate, ensuring you’re never without it.
Will my Aga cook the same if I convert it to controllable electric?
We see this debated time and time again on social media so for our latest team training session, we decided to do a like-for-like test.
The menu: Roast beef and horseradish sarnies and roast potatoes on the Electrickit (green and copper in the video) versus the gas Aga (teal and gold).
For fairness, Jamie, our Operations and Workshop Manager (with no Aga cooking experience) was the chef for the day.
Both went in at the same time and at the same temperature and both were removed at the same time before equal resting. The whole team tasted blind and voted.
The Electrickit results won!
The potatoes were crisper and the beef more moist. Overall, cooking between the two needed very little adjustment - we simply switched the position of the trays, with the potatoes below the beef on the Electrickit but above in the gas Aga. A really interesting and successful experiment and some happy team tummies!
