Aganomics : The Guide to AGA Home Economics

People fall in love with AGAs as much today as they ever did, but naturally they want to know how much their AGA will cost to run and whether it suits their lifestyle. With rising energy costs and changing lifestyles, these are perfectly reasonable questions.

At AGA, we’re sensitive to this, and have worked hard over many years to find ways of keeping running costs down, and continue to do so. The truth about today’s modern AGA is that it can play its part in managing the household budget, and thousands of customers have already discovered that their AGA costs no more to run than a similar conventional cooker home.

And we’ve kept up with modern lifestyles too. Almost 60% of all AGAs sold today are programmable using AIMS (The Aga Intelligent Management System) – meaning that they sleep when you sleep, holiday when you holiday, and put their feet up while you’re at work - saving up to 25% on running costs.

AGA’s iconic design and proud British heritage make the brand instantly recognisable. But just like today’s lifestyles, AGA heat-storage cookers are not one-size-fits-all.
 
So, how much does it cost to run an AGA?

Unlike conventional cookers, it’s really important to consider the multifunctional nature of an AGA, as it does so much more than cook beautifully. It can replace a whole host of kitchen appliances, as well as warm the home – replacing one or more radiators or underfloor heating. And with programmable gas and electric models featuring AIMS (The AGA Intelligent Management System) today’s modern AGA is flexible enough to fit the lifestyle of everyone.

Every AGA

Cooks superbly

Looks fantastic – a stunning focal point to the home

Warms your kitchen and beyond - making radiators unnecessary

Provides constant, gentle warmth – driving away damp chills in your home

Largely replaces small appliances such as kettles, toasters and microwaves

Airs your clothes – eliminating tumble drying

Acts as a magnet for your family and friends

Makes sense financially

Is environmentally responsible – made from scrap iron, has a very long life, is recyclable, and avoids the need to buy as much as £5000 of small appliances over the life of the AGA

Set out below is a table of AGA running costs and a table of costs you need not incur if you have an AGA:

* Includes AIMS reduction of 25%
** Includes AIMS reduction of 20%
Typical, actual savings using AIMS is dependent on the program set by the user in addition total units used with or without AIMS is dependent on the cooking demands of the household.
