Why Upgrade Your 13-amp Electric Aga to an Electrickit Classic?
You may have observed that your 13amp Electric Aga is not as efficient or adaptable as you would like, if you are like many Aga proprietors.

Personal Experience: Transitioning
I recall assisting Mrs. Thompson, a customer from Manchester, in the conversion of her 13-amp Aga to the Electrickit Classic. Initially, she was hesitant; however, she later informed me, “It’s like having a new cooker! I’m experiencing an extraordinary level of autonomy, and I’m also saving on my energy bills.” Her stories inspire us to be enthusiastic about our work.
Other Conversion Options vs. Electrickit Classic
You may be interested in comparing the Electrickit Classic to other options, such as the eControl Series X. Despite the fact that both devices offer contemporary capabilities, the Electrickit Classic offers the following:
- More Rapid Heat-Up Times: From a frigid state, your oven can reach roasting temperature in approximately 61 minutes.
- Streamlined Controls: Digital displays and dials that are effortless to operate.
- Cost-Effectiveness: Typically, there are reduced initial investment and operating costs.
Efficiency and Operating Costs
The potential savings on your energy expenses are one of the most significant benefits of converting. According to Stuart, our in-house Aga Specialist, “By only heating what you need, some customers see up to a 50% reduction in running costs.”
Example of Operating Expenses
- Approximately £1.29 per day for a top oven operating at 180°C for 12 hours.
- Approximately £0.43 per day when the hotplate is simmering for 12 hours.
These are preliminary estimates; however, they provide an indication of the potential savings.
Electricity Requirements
Do not be concerned about intricate configurations. The following items are required:
- Two oven models require either two 13-amp fused surge switches or a single 32-amp supply.
- 1 x 32 amp supply is required for models with 3 and 4 ovens.
For a seamless installation, our team will provide you with guidance on the specifics.
