Why is Electrickit more efficient?

Concerned about the cost of running an electric Aga? Electrickit cleverly re engineers your existing Aga shell for maximum modern efficiency making it considerably cheaper to run than a standard 13Amp Aga or standard 13Amp conversion. Over the course of a day the Aga is completely rebuilt, with the loose fill insulation removed and replaced with purpose built blankets with superior insulative 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 simmering oven runs at approximately 65-70˚ below the roasting oven temperature. 4 oven conversions have a further control knob for the hot cupboard.

Running Costs

As with all Agas, it is very difficult to accurately predict running costs as every household will use their converted Aga differently. However tests show that when used to maximum efficiency (only running the Aga when required) costs may be as low as £1.7 per day or below.

If room heat is a priority costs may well be considerably higher in the cooler seasons. For example running the ovens at 220° will result in costs of around £17.29 per week (April 2024 price cap revision). This may be offset by much lower running costs in the Summer season.

Leaving the hot plates on at low heat will increase running costs – for most efficient use, hobs should be turned on only for use.

The converted Aga was used as follows:

AUTUMN 3 months
timed operation on times 06:00 – 09:00 / 16.00 – 21.30 – 454Kw used

WINTER 3 months
with oven on 24 hours a day – 708Kw used

SPRING 3 months
timed operation on times 06.00 – 09.00 / 16:00 – 21.30 – 615Kw used

SUMMER 2012 3 months
switched on when needed for cooking – 287Kw used

The hobs were used only when required, this gave a total annual usage of 2064KW used.

Total running cost at April 2024 price cap £8.34 per week.
