Controllable Agas and their Energy Usage

Controllable Agas offer lower running costs than traditional models. Here we have provided estimates for the weekly cost based on extensive factory and ‘real life’ testing, using the January 2025 price cap of 24.86p kw/h.

These figures will of course vary depending on your usage.

Below is a guide to the likely running costs of your controllable Aga when in eco or slumber mode:

Total and Dual Control hotplates should be turned on only for use. Using flexibility of temperatures will reduce consumption.

Electrickit Classic Running Costs

Electrickit data is produced differently and therefore unfortunately not directly comparable to other controllable models.

Here is the likely running costs for both 2 and 4 oven Electrickit Classic Agas:

	2 oven		4 oven
	kWh	Cost per Week	kWh	Cost per Week
Electrickit at 180⁰	82.32	£20.46	82.32 + 42 hot cupboard	£20.46+ £10.44 hot cupboard
Electrickit at 220⁰	132.348	£32.90	132.348 + 84 hot cupboard	£32.90 + £20.88 hot cupboard

Want to save even more?

For greatest savings, utilise a timer for the ovens, bringing up to temperature as and when required.
For good savings, run the Aga at a low temperature of 120 - 130⁰, bringing up to 180-200⁰ for use.
For moderate savings, run the ovens at 180⁰ continually.
Always leave the hobs off, turning on only for use.
For 4 oven models, leaving the ovens at setting 4 will result in far greater savings versus setting them at 8. Alternatively, only turn on the hot cupboard for busy cooking days or when more room heat is required.

Electrickit Advanced Running Costs

These figures apply to Electrickit Advanced Agas used flexibly with the top oven in use and the bottom oven running at 65% of the top oven’s temperature. Using both ovens at full temperature can cost up to £2 extra per week. 4 oven Agas with the optional high temperature hot cupboard may use up to an extra 1.96kWh per week, which under January 2025 energy prices is £0.49. Energy consumption also varies depending on optional hob types and whether an independent warming plate is installed.
