Electric Conversion for Gas Aga
Converting a gas Aga to electric lets you keep the cast-iron cooker you love while cutting running costs and gaining modern control. Gas burners were designed to run 24/7, which is why bills often hover around £25–£32 per week for natural gas and even higher for LPG. By fitting an electric conversion for gas Aga cookers, each oven and hotplate becomes an independent zone you can schedule, preheat, or switch off entirely.
John Wray Range Cookers has spent more than 30 years helping Yorkshire, Cumbria, and North East households convert gas Agas to electric using ElectricKit and eControl systems. We remove the gas burner and flue components, upgrade insulation, fit new elements, and hand over a cooker that feels familiar but behaves like the latest smart range.

Why Convert Your Gas Aga to Electric?
Gas-fired Agas are wonderfully reliable, but they rely on burners that stay on all day. A gas to electric Aga conversion keeps the cast iron you love while giving you the freedom to heat zones only when you need them.
- Lower running costs: Switching to controlled zones can drop weekly bills to £6-£12 – compare figures on our Aga running costs page.
- Better temperature control: Each oven and hotplate becomes independent, so slow cooking, baking, and boiling can run at once without fiddling with gas valves.
- No flue or ventilation headaches: Electric systems remove combustion gases, freeing you from chimney maintenance and giving you more layout options.
- Simpler servicing: Electric elements require far less maintenance than gas burners, and our Aga servicing and repair team can look after yearly checks.
5 Signs Your Gas Aga is Ready for a Conversion
- You rely on LPG deliveries and want to avoid unpredictable price spikes.
- The burner struggles to hold temperature or needs frequent engineer call-outs.
- You are renovating your kitchen and would like to remove the flue or relocate the cooker.
- You want timer-based control while you’re away from home or renting out the property.
- Your existing Aga installation needs updating to meet current safety regulations.
Pick the Right Electric Conversion
We install both ElectricKit and eControl systems, so you can match the technology to how you cook.
- ElectricKit Classic: Manual dials, rapid hotplate heat-up, and simple maintenance.
- ElectricKit Advanced: Touchscreen interface, Smart Life app scheduling, optional induction hob.
- eControl Series X: Digital rotary controls, eco modes, and ultra-fast heat-up.
- eControl Series X-Squared: Adds Wi-Fi, Bluetooth handset, power-share technology, and mobile monitoring.
Every system includes new insulation blankets, element packs, seals, and a full electrical test so your upgraded cooker feels like new.
Real-world Example of Gas Aga Conversion
Real-world example: A Harrogate family asked us to convert their LPG 4-oven Aga to an eControl Series X-Squared system during a kitchen remodel. We removed the gas burners, fitted new insulation blankets, installed the eControl elements, and added an induction hob. Their weekly running costs dropped from roughly £60 (propane) to £12-£18, and they can now preheat ovens remotely before leaving the office.
How Gas-to-Electric Conversion Works
- Survey & quotation: We inspect your existing installation, electrics, and flue before confirming the right system.
- Isolation & strip-down: Gas supply is capped, burners removed, and the cooker is stripped to the casting.
- Upgrade & wiring: We fit new insulation, elements, control hardware, and run dedicated electrical spurs.
- Testing & balancing: Each oven and hotplate is tested for heat-up speed, thermostats are calibrated, and safety checks are logged.
- Handover & warranty: You receive a demonstration, care guide, and full warranty paperwork plus optional servicing schedule.
