Modern living doesn’t mean giving up your Aga. Our electric conversions, professionally installed across Yorkshire, bring faster heat-up times, improved energy efficiency, and easy control, all while preserving the traditional look you love.
What Is the eControl Series X Conversion?
The eControl Series X Conversion is a precision-engineered electric conversion system built specifically for traditional cast-iron Aga cookers. It replaces your old gas, oil, or solid-fuel system with a zoned, on-demand electric setup, giving you full control over each oven and hob independently, faster heat-up times, and reduced energy usage.
At John Wray Range Cookers, we specialise in high-quality Aga electric conversions with a straight-talking, no-fuss approach. Based in North Yorkshire, we provide expert Aga services with a focus on reliability, efficiency, and attention to detail. Whether you’re upgrading a two-oven model or a five-oven range, our work is backed by decades of hands-on experience and trusted craftsmanship.
Why Choose Series X Electric Conversion?
- Independent zone control: Each oven and hotplate is heated separately, so you only power the sections you’re using, reducing wasted energy.
- Rapid, efficient heat-up: Hotplates reach cooking temperature in just 8 to 10 minutes, with boilers taking about 14 minutes; the top oven heats to 180 °C in ~44 minutes from cold.
- Significantly lower running costs: Average daily consumption between 2.41 to 4.21 kWh translates into far lower energy bills compared to oil, gas, or solid fuel.
- Flue and burner-free operation: As a fully electric system, the Series X eliminates combustion, chimney requirements, CO emissions, and the need for annual servicing.
- Straightforward electrical fit: Requires a standard 32 A supply (40 A when using InstaHeat); no flue work needed.
- True Aga cooking feel: Electric elements wrapped around the original cast-iron ovens preserve gentle, radiant cooking.
Features of Series X Conversion
- Zone switches and digital dials: Each cooking area is set via dedicated selector switches and temperature-controlled rotary knobs with clear digital display.
- 370 °C hob plates included: Both stainless hob plates reach up to 370 °C independently as standard.
- Built-in ECO modes: Pre-set low-power settings for both ovens and hobs to save energy and allow fast re-heating.
- Optional hob upgrades: Fully compatible with InstaHeat and Pizza-Plate hob upgrades for additional cooking flexibility.
- High-grade insulation: The factory-installed foil insulation blanket locks in heat for better performance and lower energy use.
- UK-built system with 5-year parts warranty: Peace of mind backed by quality engineering.
Thinking of a Bigger Upgrade?
An electric conversion is often the perfect time to take stock of the whole cooker. While we’re modernising the control system, many of our customers choose to go a step further, whether that’s refreshing tired enamel, replacing worn parts, or even swapping the entire unit for a fully reconditioned model.
We can carry out a full Aga refurbishment alongside the conversion, renewing internal components like seals, insulation, and door fittings to bring performance back to original spec.
If the enamel has seen better days, a complete Aga re-enamelling can restore that rich, glossy finish in a colour that suits your kitchen. Or, if you’re considering a complete replacement, we also offer reconditioned Agas, fully rebuilt to order, with clear, upfront pricing in our Aga price list.
Technical Specifications of eControl Series X
Designed for reliability and simplicity, the Series X system transforms your traditional Aga into a fully electric, independently controlled cooker. Each oven is heated by dedicated electric elements for fast, even performance, while the robust 370 °C steel hotplates deliver powerful, consistent heat. The intuitive rotary controls offer straightforward temperature adjustment, making the Series X a dependable and efficient upgrade for everyday use.

eControl Series Series X vs X-Squared
Both Series X and Series X-Squared are high-quality electric systems designed for Aga cookers, but they cater to different preferences.
The eControl Series X is ideal for those who want hands-on control via traditional rotary dials and a digital display. It offers all the core benefits of an electric Aga conversion, including fast heat-up and independent zones without extra technology.
The eControl Series X-Squared, on the other hand, is the more advanced option. It includes a sleek glass X-Touch panel, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, and an intuitive mobile app for remote scheduling. Additional features like grill mode, InductaHeat hobs, and InstaHeat technology are also available.
In short: if you want smart automation and advanced control, choose Series X-Squared. If you prefer simplicity and tactile dials, Series X is the way to go.

We had the innards of our oil-fired classic Aga replaced with the amazing Electrikit Advanced system. Brilliant, simple and no more oil smells in the kitchen! The service was marvellous from beginning to end: informative, efficient and quick. Stuart and Ben made short work of the conversion, were great to have around and did a thorough clean-up afterwards. We are very pleased.
