Looking for a way to keep the house warm without turning up the thermostat? If so, invest in an Aga cooker, which will instantly enhance your kitchen. Not only will a quality Aga appliance change the appearance of your cooking space and make it feel more inviting but also, it will enable you to prepare delicious food with the Aga’s frying, baking, steaming, simmering, roasting, toasting and many other cooking settings. Some people even air out garments, proving these world-famous appliances to be multi-functional. The price you pay will vary, depending on which model you buy, so take the time to learn a little bit about the running costs to avoid exceeding your monthly budget.
Average Running Costs
A lot of people see reconditioned Aga cookers as expensive, but they are in fact a good long-term investment. You won’t have to worry about replacing the cooker every couple of years, because Aga’s are built to last. The amount you pay will depend entirely on the model. Does it have two, three or four ovens? Will it run on electricity, oil or gas? When you consider the fact that a three-oven model will be approximately five pounds cheaper to run per week, it’s important that you choose a model that best suits your income. Electric models are usually the cheapest, with a 30-amp two-oven Aga costing around £12 a week to run.
Average Savings
Even if you decide to buy reconditioned Aga cookers that cost a little bit more to run, you will still make savings. How, you ask? Well, when you introduce an Aga you won’t need to use other kitchen appliances, such as toasters, kettles and bread makers, therefore you won’t have to pay electricity to power these things. Taking these appliances out of the mix will save you between £7 and £11 a week. In addition to this, heat from the Aga can be felt when it is powered on, which will allow you to cut down on heating costs during winter.
Buying a Used Aga
A brand new Aga cooker could set you back up to a thousand pounds. If this upfront cost is too daunting for you, why not buy reconditioned Aga cookers? A reconditioned appliance will work as efficiently as a new appliance, but will be built with used parts. This is one of the great things about Aga ovens – they are recyclable. Reconditioned products are a cheaper alternative and if you’re lucky, you might still benefit from warranty.
