Oil Aga to eControl Series X Aga
Is It Worth It Converting an Oil Aga to Electric eControl?
Ever found yourself wondering if there was a better way to enjoy your ancient oil Aga’s warmth without paying such expensive fuel bills? You are not by yourself, friend. Many of us enjoy the comforting feel of a conventional Aga, but we groan at the running expenses and environmental damage. Imagine if I told you there was a game-changing solution allowing you to enter the future of energy efficiency while but maintaining the appeal of your cherished stove.
The Conundrum of the Standard Oil Aga
To be honest, oil Agas have certain peculiarities. They take eons to heat up and drink fuel as though tomorrow doesn’t exist. Particularly on those cold mornings when you simply want a quick cuppa, I recall my friend Sarah grumbling about how her Aga took forever to get going. Not to mention the carbon impact that is anything but green and the maintenance nightmares.
Now Introducing the eControl Series X: The Aga Cooking Future
What then is the hype surrounding switching an oil Aga to electric eControl? Well, the eControl Series X is a breakthrough system that turns your conventional Aga into a modern, energy-efficient wonder. Having more than thirty years of experience, John Wray has been leading the way in repairing and selling reconditioned Agas; this conversion is the most recent in innovation.
“We’ve seen how the eControl Series X not only cuts running costs but also brings unmatched control to your cooking experience,” advises Stuart, our in-house Aga specialist.
Why Think About Conversion?
Inaccurate Control and Adaptability
The freedom to individually manage every oven and hotplate is one of the main advantages. Think of the times when cooking in one oven meant the other would lose heat; now, that is history. You can set any temperature you want without compromising the other areas by using specialised heating elements for every one of them.
Quick Heat-up Times
There is no more waiting about. In just 62 minutes, the ovens reach 220°C, a huge advance over the conventional 10-hour grind. And the hotplates? They warm up more quickly than you could have “tea time.”
Environmentally Friendly and Reasonably Priced
Using electric means bidding farewell to fossil fuels. Saving the earth is only one aspect; another is make savings in your pocket. Eliminating the need for a chimney and cutting energy usage would help you to drastically minimise operational expenses.
Year-Round Comfort
The eControl lets you adjust whether you would want to turn it off during summer or leave it on for that ambient heat in winter. Last year, my neighbour Tom converted and promises all year long comfort.
The Conversion Process: What Not to Expect
You may be wondering, “Sounds great, but how does the conversion actually work?” It’s less complicated than you might have guessed. The eControl system is made to fit right in with your current Aga configuration.
First, a specialist will review your present Aga to be sure it is fit for conversion and then-
Installation: The new electric elements are placed following meticulous removal of the old oil components.
Everything is tested to guarantee flawless operation- and finally,
Tutorial: You won’t be left wondering since you will be able to walk through the new controls.
Expertise You Should Count On
You are in good hands with John Wray’s decades of expertise and network of more than 200 qualified installers around the UK. Being the most often chosen option for electric conversions, they have converted more than 7,000 Agas.
Characteristics Unique to eControl Series X
Instant Heat Hob
The optional Instaheat Hob provides quick heat, therefore removing long pre-heats for individuals who can’t wait to start cooking.
Auto Grill and Pizza Oven
You did indeed read right. Right in your Aga, you can bake pizzas of restaurant quality and grill to perfection. These extra improvements give your cooking a whole fresh perspective.
Oversize the Hobs
More room is needed? The 350mm hob plates’ supersize allows you enough space to simultaneously cook several items.
Ecological Mode and WiFi Control
Gentle ambient heat from Eco Mode is ideal for cooler months. You can also set timers and change settings remotely via WiFi control – provided by a third party.
Possible Issues and Our Approach to Them
I won’t sugarcoat it. Some people worry about depending just on electricity or about the initial outlay.
True, having a power outage can be unpleasant. But many believe it’s a reasonable trade-off given the UK’s dependable grid and the advantages exceed the hazards.
Initial Expense: Although the initial outlay is more than that of sticking with oil, the long-term savings on fuel and maintenance make this a wise investment.
“Long term, the eControl pays for itself. You are investing in the future, not only purchasing a cooker,” Stuart says.
Is That Right for You?
Converting to electric eControl is a no-brainer if you enjoy cooking, care about the environment, and find the idea of modernising without sacrificing that historic Aga charm appealing.
Don’t rely just on my word for it.
Many Aga owners who have switched are glowing about the change. From reduced bills to speedier cooking times, the advantages are obvious.
A Personal Touch
I remember going to see a customer who had recently converted. Her kitchen was warm, but not overpowering when you walked inside it. “It’s like living in the best of both worlds,” Lily from Yorkshire, said to me. “I get to keep my beautiful Aga, but without the fuss.”
