Even if you’re not technical, the intuitive dials, the clear displays and all other features make it a breeze to operate – while it’s not as easy as boiling a kettle, but we’ve had first-time Aga owners get the hang of it in no time, which is lovely to see.

The Ultimate eControl conversion
At John Wray Range Cookers, we’re dedicated to extending the life and enhancing the performance of your cherished Aga. Our tailored Aga electric conversion options put you in control, whether you want to modernise an older model, reduce running costs or go greener. The eControl Series X‑Squared conversion is one of our premium electric solutions, giving you precise zone control, rapid heat-up, and efficient performance, all while maintaining the familiar warmth, durability, and cooking excellence of your classic Aga.
What is eControl Series X-Squared conversion?
The eControl Series X-Squared conversion upgrades your traditional Aga with state-of-the-art electric technology, replacing fuel-based components with precision electric heating elements. It retains the iconic cast-iron construction for consistent, radiant cooking while introducing rapid heat-up, reaching 220°C from ECO mode in just 8 minutes.
One of the best practices for using eControl Series X Squared is to take full advantage of its ECO mode and scheduling features. As Stuart says, “I often suggest setting the ovens to slumber (around 180°C) when you don't need full heat – a bit like letting a stew simmer gently – so you save energy and still have warmth ready on tap.” Little habits like that ensure you get the most out of the system while keeping running costs low.
With advanced insulation and independent zone control, it cuts energy use significantly and gives you precise, efficient performance without losing the heart and soul of your original cooker.

eControl Series X-Squared Running Cost
The eControl Series X-Squared is designed to be energy-efficient without compromising cooking performance. Here’s a simple breakdown of its running costs:
Using the ovens once a day (including pre-heat and cooking) uses about 2.41 kWh per day.
Using the ovens twice a day increases this to around 4.21 kWh per day.
In ECO Mode (ideal for baking and warming), ovens use roughly 0.26 kWh per hour.
Roasting and simmering range between 0.27 kWh and 0.43 kWh per hour, depending on temperature.
The boiling hob consumes about 0.48 kWh per hour when in use.
Simmering on the hob in ECO mode uses about 0.39 kWh per hour, or 0.40 kWh if both hobs run simultaneously in ECO mode.
This means the system is efficient, especially when using ECO modes and timing your cooking to minimise energy use.

Visit Our Aga Showroom in Yorkshire
At John Wray Range Cookers, we’ve been working with Aga cookers since 1990 – servicing, reconditioning, and restoring them to top condition. As electric conversion technology has evolved, we’ve stayed ahead of the curve, now offering advanced systems like the eControl Series X‑Squared alongside other trusted Aga Electric Conversion options.
Our showroom is open by appointment only, so we can give you one-to-one advice. Whether you’re upgrading an oil, gas, or old electric Aga, we’ll help you find the right conversion, with no rush and no pressure, just straight-talking expertise.
eControl Series X-Squared vs Series X
The eControl Series X-Squared Aga Conversion is the most advanced electric system for Aga cookers. It offers Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, app scheduling, a modern X-Touch controller, and optional upgrades like grill mode, InstaHeat, and InductaHeat hobs. With faster oven heat-up (to 200°C in about 43 minutes), improved insulation, and precise zone control, it delivers modern performance while preserving classic Aga style.
The eControl Series X delivers the same core benefits, electric efficiency and independent zone control, but with a more traditional interface using rotary dials and digital displays. It’s ideal for those who prefer hands-on control without the need for smart features.
In terms of eControl Series X Squared applications, this conversion is wonderfully versatile. If you want app-based convenience and automation, go for Series X-Squared. If you prefer classic, tactile controls, Series X is a solid choice.
eControl vs Electrickit
When choosing an Aga conversion, many customers weigh up eControl X Squared vs. competitor models like Electrickit Classic and Electrickit Advanced. Having fitted all three systems, we know their strengths and limitations first-hand.
The Electrickit Classic is a popular entry-level option, offering basic electric control for Aga cookers, while the Electrickit Advanced adds some programmable features and improved efficiency. What really sets the eControl Series X Squared apart, according to our customers is its smart WiFi connectivity, ultra-fast heat-up times, and genuine zone-by-zone control. For Aga owners who want the most flexibility and future-proof technology, the eControl Series X Squared is widely considered the gold standard.
If you want to see a direct comparison, our ElectricKit vs eControl guide lays out all the facts, but in our experience, nothing matches the day-to-day convenience and performance of the Series X Squared.

eControl Series X-Squared Conversion Reviews
You might have searched for an eControl Series X Squared review, especially when it first came out. Our customers have been singing its praises in feedback. Many Aga owners right here in Yorkshire said that it’s transformed their cooking routine for the better, giving a traditional cooker a truly modern twist – and our 5-star reviews speaks for itself!
We are very pleased with the replacement top for our AGA, the whole process was really easy and professional. They did exactly what they said they would do, on time and with a superb result.
Excellent.
Excellent.
Response from the owner 12:50 14 May 25
Thank you very much Carol. The new top made the Aga look great! 
Very friendly, very helpful, and lots of advice. The whole process from visiting the showroom, to the installation of our Electrikit Advanced 2-oven Aga in Northern Counties Cream (our choice - though with so many enamel colours to choose from, well.....!}, went extremely smoothly - and ended with a quick run through of operation, and time for questions and answers.
After decades of using all the different types of Aga, and Rayburn, this new one is a whole different kettle of fish and takes a bit of getting used to. But it is definitely the Aga for today, offering lots of flexibility, yet still the delights of cooking in a proper cast-iron oven. To save fuel, one doesn't have to switch the whole caboodle off for the summer, as one might have done in the past - or, if you go away on holiday, it is no different from switching off your immersion heater.
To increase flexibility of use, one can programme the Aga, just as you might your house central-heating/water heating - plus you can put all this on an App on your 'pnone, so you can switch the Aga on and off etc., remotely. However, with just having moved house and, so far, every day being a whirlwind of seemingly essential jobs, we haven't had time to try out all this modern tech.. But, we will!
Thank you, all at John Wray!

Exceptional - a brilliant company to do business with and surely the best AGA company in the north of England (if not nationally). I cannot recommend Stuart and his team enough - from the moment we contacted John Wray Country Stoves, we felt valued as customers and nothing was too much trouble. All of our questions were answered very knowledgeably and the installation process was 100% stress-free (including the removal of our old AGA). Stuart even made a minor repair to my woodburner, even though he and his colleage (another lovely guy) had worked all day to install the AGA and had a long drive back to North Yorkshire .All in all, the best people we've worked with during our house renovations and highly recommended.
A really super job from John Wray Country Stoves and AEM Range Cooker Services converting our gas Aga to the Electrickit Advanced.
It was fascinating to see. Very excited to get to grips with it. I am enjoying the induction hob and I can now turn the oven on from the train home, using the App.
The team at John Wray were so friendly, helpful and straightforward to deal with from first contact through to installation. They and Alex from AEM were a pleasure to have around on the day of the work. I can highly and whole heartedly recommend them.

Good advice pre sale. Installers arrived on time, completed the job efficiently and tidied up after themselves. Couldn't ask for more.

Thank you for your review Charlene, It was a pleasure to fit your stove.

Response from the owner 12:06 15 Jan 25
Thank you David, glad your happy with your Aga! 
Thank you to Stuart, Ben and Louise for a great experience installing my much loved stove. I waited a year for this beauty to be installed when I moved house, and then was let down. But Stuart pulled out all the stops and came to my rescue. Louise was on hand to help and support and Ben cleaned up all the mess and made the whole experience effortless. I'm keen to save up for an aga so any advice or support will be appreciated. A great team and an impeccable service.
