Our USA Aga Conversions
Though we are UK based, our work in the USA comprises a significant portion of our business offering.
All our UK services are also available in the USA, including electric conversions for Aga range cookers, including Electrickit and eControl.
We always welcome any enquiry from the US and are happy to answer any and all questions to see if you can make your American Aga dream a reality.
Installation
Genuine, knowledgeable, properly trained Aga engineers are an absolute rarity in the US, though there are a sprinkling to be found. A poorly installed Aga will simply never perform as it should; at best it will be unreliable and not provide the authentic Aga experience, at worst it will be very dangerous. A proper installation is an involved and quite costly undertaking and this should always be taken into account when privately purchasing an Aga. Too many of our US customers have found that in engaging underqualified engineers, they have had significant retrospective rebuild requirements.
Our installations are always carried out by our specialised, trained Aga engineers who have a wealth of experience under their belt. US installations are carried out by Steve himself, our co-director and lead engineer. Steve covers Oil, Gas, Electric and Solid Fuel Agas and Rayburns. From the most obscure conversion to limited edition models or the Control Series, Steve has a deep knowledge of the entire Aga / Rayburn range, as well as conventional cookers. Whether you have an Aga already that you’d like to install, or whether you’d like to purchase and install one of our own refurbished Agas, you can be content in the knowledge that your precious Aga is in the safest of hands.
Conversions
We are industry leaders in Electrickit and eControl conversions, and we are finding these are particularly popular in the US due to seasonal temperature variations. Many users find themselves with gas Agas that they simply cannot bear to use in the summer months, resorting to running their aircon to keep things bearable so they can still use their cooker! A controllable electric conversion gives year-round flexibility and superior reliability with minimal maintenance. They offer an excellent alternative to traditional Agas, whilst keeping that authentic Aga feel that we all know and love. If you’d like to find out more, we have a treasure trove of information under the conversions tab here on our website and we are always happy to talk you through the logistics by phone or email.
How does it work?
We schedule numerous US trips a year and work with you to make the logistics of cross-continental business as smooth and worry free as possible.
Contact us for a quote. We will send pricing and information and can discuss works via email, phone or Zoom.
We will advise if we have any prebooked work in the area and of our upcoming trip schedule. Usually, we combine a number of large jobs (installations, conversions, rebuild etc) across the region, alongside additional services and repairs. This is the most cost effective option as costs will be shared. Alternatively, if there are time pressures, we can arrange a stand-alone visit. Please note, we travel internationally predominantly during the months of January - August, due to our busy Autumn / Fall UK schedule. Arrangements can however occasionally be made outside of this schedule where absolutely necessary.
Any large parts are sent 4 weeks ahead of time. We share pallet costs where possible and deliver to bonded warehousing. We then collect these parts in person and bring to you for installation. Where a whole Aga is ordered, this is shipped directly to your door. We also bring a range of service related parts and tools with us from the UK as luggage. This ensures that all eventualities are covered, whilst reducing shipping costs. No customs costs are applicable to our shipments.
All works will be undertaken in person by our Aga trained accredited engineers. Alternatively, we can provide parts or whole Agas shipped for installation by your own engineer.
We are fully available for follow up queries and advise and for future servicing if desired.
