The running costs of electric Aga range cookers from Blake & Bull can vary significantly depending on how you choose to use your cooker, especially because these cookers can easily be switched on and off unlike conventional Agas.

On average, you can expect weekly costs ranging from £15-20 per week, significantly less than £35 - £40 per week on an equivalent gas/oil Aga cooker.

The difference between running a smaller 2-oven or 3-oven electric Aga vs a larger 4-oven or 5-oven Aga can be around £6/week, although this depends a lot on how often you keep it on for.

Opting for a Blake & Bull reconditioned Aga is not a compromise but a unique choice. It allows you to own a piece of industrial heritage, updated and reimagined for modern use. 

Aga range cookers are renowned for their longevity, primarily due to their robust cast iron construction, which can last indefinitely when properly maintained. At Blake & Bull, we restore and re-enamel these structures to provide many more decades of reliable service.

Converted electric Aga cookers do not need a flue as they no longer produce harmful gases like carbon monoxide. 

Although we can vent the ovens into an existing flue base, most electric Agas we install are room-vented to maintain efficiency by preventing cold air from entering the cooker. 

This also means the flue can be blocked or removed if preferred.

Blake & Bull reconditioned cookers are assembled on-site, making it easier to navigate awkward locations with restricted access.

After purchase, we will contact you with specific questions about your kitchen access, such as steps, narrow walkways, and parking restrictions.

The core cooking method remains the same on an electric Aga as a fossil fuel one. The heat stored in the cast iron ovens radiates gently into the food, unlike the forced air convection of standard ovens. 

On our refurbished Aga cookers, the cooking method is preserved, with the only change being the proximity of the heating elements to the oven castings, allowing for quicker heating.

You may find there are some changes vs a conventional Aga in which oven is used for specific cooking tasks, more info on that below!

You will need to understand the electrical supply requirements before we can install your cooker.

There are two induction hob options: 1.6kW and 3.0kW, both fitting into the left-hand aperture. An electrician will need to ensure the correct supply is installed near your cooker. 

This can be a new circuit or part of an existing one, depending on your electrician’s assessment.

Yes, our multi-element electric systems are among the most efficient ways to operate cast iron range cookers like Aga cookers. Powered by the UK grid, they already utilise 40% renewable energy, with this percentage increasing annually. 

You can go beyond this by utilising home-generated solar, wind, or water power, which can result in significant savings and environmental benefits. Most of our cookers require a maximum of 4.6-6kWh and average under 500W, making them compatible with most domestic solar installations.
