Cost of an AGA cooker

The cost of an AGA cooker depends on various factors including size, model, number of ovens, and whether you want a customised enamel colour.

It's important to do your research into what type of AGA you want, but as a general guide:

• AGA is a premium brand and will cost you from £5,000 - £20,500

• With installation included, you can usually expect your total bill to be around £12,000

Costs will depend on the type of AGA you choose, for example:

• An AGA Rayburn (which can be used for cooking and to heat radiators) costs on average £11,000

• A top-of-the range AGA ERA series (with state-of-the-art induction hob and touch-screen controls) will set you back around £20,000

• AGA's conventional range (if you prefer the instant control of a conventional cooker) is the cheapest, priced around £5,800

• Traditional cast-iron AGAs which cook using radiant heat cost on average £14,000

All of these prices are excluding installation which will cost you on average another £150.

It's worth bearing in mind, that with proper care and maintenance, an AGA range cooker can last for up to 50 years. So they are a worthwhile investment for your kitchen - especially if you're serious about cooking.

Because of their durability and longevity, refurbished or secondhand AGAs are a good option if you're on a tighter budget.

AGA vs AGA-style range cooker costs

AGAs are certainly a major investment, so consider an AGA-style range cooker if you want a big capacity oven without the hefty price tag.

• The price of an AGA-style range cooker starts from £1,300 without installation costs

• However, this figure can reach up to £5,500 for a top-of-the-range model (excluding installation)

• On average, the supply and installation of an AGA-stylerange cooker normally sits around £3,000

Installation costs for an AGA cooker

Don't forget to factor in installation costs when buying an AGA.

• You can expect to pay around £150 to have your AGA installed

• However, AGA installation costs can vary depending on the model you choose and the complexity of the installation

• Sometimes AGA installation costs can be as much as £500

• If you buy directly from AGA, the delivery team will professionally install it in your home

All AGAs should be installed by a qualified professional to ensure safety, efficiency, and warranty compliance.

Get in touch with a recommended electrician in your area who can help with a safe and efficient installation of your new cooker.

Remember, you'll need a certified electrician and a Gas Safe engineer to fit a dual fuel cooker. It’s also possible to find an oven installation service that provides installers qualified in both.

Running costs of an AGA cooker

AGA running costs depend on the model you buy, the type of fuel you use and how you use your cooker.

Fuel type

All new AGAs are fully electric. Depending on the model you choose this gives you greater control and lower running costs. This is down to fast heat up times and the flexibility to use ovens individually or turn the tops off.

However you might move into a house with an older gas or oil model. Or buy a secondhand model that's run by these other fuels.

That's why it's worth comparing the running costs of electric, oil and gas-powered AGAs.

Here are some estimated weekly running costs for different types of AGA cookers:

• Electric AGA cooker: Around £20.09 per week with both oven ons on 24/7 and hotplate off or £18.10 per week on an economy setting

• Gas AGA cooker: Around £26 per week with ovens and hotplates on 24/7

• Oil AGA cooker: Around £25 per week with ovens and hotplates on 24/7

Some of the newer all-electric models offer even greater control and flexibility which will save you money on running costs.

As an example it'll cost you 14.7p/hr to have a hotplate on full power and 11.1p/hr to use the roasting oven on a new generation AGA.

Note: Figures are taken from the AGA website but vary from model to model and fluctuating fuel costs.

Tips to reduce running costs

• Turn off the hotplates when not in use

• Use economy mode

• Use renewable energy sources such as solar power

• Defrost food and let it reach room temperature before cooking (cooking straight from fridge or freezer uses more energy)

• Keep doors closed so heat doesn't escape

• Use a timer to turn on the ovens only when needed

• Use an eControl conversion kit that changes a traditional AGA cooker from gas or oil to electric and gives more controllability

• Regularly service your AGA to help maintain its efficiency

Maintenance and repair costs

AGAs need regular servicing twice a year to keep them in tip top working order.

Things can also go wrong with your cooker. But repair costs are likely to be similar between an AGA and an AGA-style range cooker.

Here are some ballpark figures to give you an idea:

• Oven repair in the UK costs around £75 - £130

• Electric oven repair costs tend to sit between £80-£170 for a new element to be fitted

• Gas oven repair will cost around £100 - £300

However, the quote you receive will ultimately depend on the type of repair needed and the type of oven. You will also find prices to be higher in London and big cities where the demand is higher.

Additional costs

You might need to make modifications to your kitchen for larger AGA cookers or add ventilation and extra wiring/sockets for some models.

• Floors must be flat, strong and stable and be able to take the cooker's weight

• Electric cookers need to be connected to a 32 amp cooker switch within 2m of the cooker. This must not be behind the cooker

• Oil and gas cookers need to be vented through a flue pipe. This should be vertical for at least 600mm and at least 3m in length

These need to be factored into your overall budget.
