Running Costs

A Guide to Your Aga’s Energy Usage

With ever changing energy prices, it can be hard to keep track of exactly how much your Aga will cost you across the different fuels. With the strain on all of our finances at present, transparency and detailed data is becoming more important than ever, so that our customers can make informed decisions when selecting or converting a model. These running costs are becoming one of the most vital key factors to consider when choosing a model. Here, we have therefore provided estimates for the weekly cost based on extensive factory and ‘real life’ testing, using up to date energy prices.

These figures will of course vary depending on your usage.
