EControl electric Agas – Benefits, how they work, running costs, and conversions from gas and oil

The eControl system converts your oil, gas or 13amp electric Aga to a modern, flexible and superior electric Aga system.

London Cooker Company offer reconditioned Agas that come with eControl installed or we can convert your Aga to eControl. Just get in touch to discuss and book a date. 

Benefits of eControl

  • Increased hob size: As part of the process, 350mm steel hobs are installed. The standard size hob is 290mm, so you will gain more room for cooking.

  • Sleek and modern design

  • Intuitive user interface and control system

  • Substantially reduced Aga energy use and running costs compared to 13 amp, gas and oil AGAs

  • Constant evolution – the newly upgraded eControl Series X reduces running costs even more

  • Use the Eco-Mode to minimise ambient heat – especially in summer – and further reduce your running costs.

  • Heats up quicker than other electric AGA conversion options

  • Position your AGA anywhere as no flue is required

  • Electric means the oven temperatures do not lower when using the hot plates

  • Choose Roasting, Simmer or Baking Oven, even on two oven models

  • Five-year warranty as standard

EControl Aga running costs

Series X eControl running costs are approximately £7.50-£9.00 per week – which compared to the c.£70-£90 clients are seeing with 13amp Agas, is an enormous saving.

Such is the scale of saving, your investment in an eControl Aga would take approximately just one year to have paid for itself if you’re currently using a 13amp.

These lower running costs are achieved by the increased flexibility offered, so your Aga works exactly how you want it to, when you want it to – especially in summer.

With the eControl Series X you have the flexibility of the following temperature ranges:

  • Roasting oven: 0 to 250 °C
