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.

13 amp light teal aga

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.

Why choose Rural Ranges?

Why should I convert?

How much does it cost to convert?

I'm a bit nervous of how cooking might be different with an electric Aga. Can I get any tips?

What models can be converted?

How reliable are converted Agas? I'm worried about potential repair costs.

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!
