First produced in 1959 and arguably the most traditional of all Agas in common use today, oil remains a popular choice, particularly for those in rural locations. Our oil Agas are available in purpose built 2 or 4 oven models. We will install an electronic control valve as standard for faster recovery times, however manual valves are available on request. Boilers are available in any of our oil Agas for an additional fee.
Advantages
A true traditional Aga
A good option in rural properties where natural gas is not available
Potential for no reliance on electricity at all (with manual control valve - we will discuss the benefits of each system)
Electronic control valves allow greater consistency of temperatures
Boiler can be added for hot water supply
Good room heat
Can be used for traditional Aga functions, including boiling a kettle & drying clothes
Very little mechanically to go wrong - made to last
Low parts prices
5 year parts warranty, 1 year labour warranty.
Disadvantages
Biannual servicing required
Inconsistent quality of oil can cause more frequent breakdowns
Higher initial installation prices if oil tank, oil line and flue are required
Running costs dependent on fluctuating oil prices
Inclusion of boiler will increase oil use
Less environmentally desirable
No 3 oven option
Limited to location - can only go where a chimney is present or an outside wall with unsightly stainless steel twin lined flue
Many users have to turn the Aga off in the summer due to excessive heat output
