Fuel Consumption
An Aga is
a heavily insulated, heat storage cooker, designed to
provide all the heat required for cooking operations,
whilst consuming the minimum of fuel. It is therefore
possible to predict the typical, weekly fuel consumption
for each model, based on average use. Model type shown in
brackets. Metric to Imperial Conversions are approximate.
Energy off-setting aspects
Owning an Aga does have many other positive
benefits.
A very important saving comes from the
reduced need for supplementary heating in the kitchen, possibly
avoiding the use of one or two radiators.
Also, most Aga owners find that they have
little or no requirement for the use of additional cooking appliances
such as Electric Kettles, Toasters, Microwave, Bread-maker or
Conventional Oven and Hob etc. There is also a reduced need to operate
a Tumble Drier or Electric Clothes-airer.
Taking a practical account of these benefits
could potentially amount to energy savings of between 120-185 kW per
week, which can, of course, offset the running cost of an Aga.
