AGA Running Costs
AGA running costs depend upon the model that you own, the fuel supply you use and how you use your cooker.
AGA Electric Models
AGA's everyday radiant eR3 Series and eR7 Series models are much more controllable and are designed to be switched on and off as required.
The 24/7 Radiant Heat collection R3 and R7 are designed to always be on and ready to cook. Whilst the models may be more expensive to run, they also take the place of other electrical items such as heaters, an electric kettle and a tumble drier.
The AGA eR3 Series and 7 Series models now provide increased flexibility and greater control, providing the opportunity to lower running costs significantly thanks to fast heat up times and the ability to allow individual operation of ovens and hotplates. In addition, adjustable temperatures and the ability to turn off functions when not required enables you to control how much energy you use. For example there is no need to leave hotplates on since they are designed to heat up in 10-12 minutes.
