Will My Aga Work the Same After Conversion?

Your converted Aga will work differently, and that's mostly a good thing. Here's what changes: Heat-up time improves dramatically. A 13amp converted Aga reaches cooking temperature in 40-60 minutes. Even Electrickit versions heat faster than gas, typically ready in 90 minutes. Compare that to 4-6 hours for traditional gas models. Temperature stability actually improves with electric. No more temperature drops on windy days or when your gas pressure fluctuates. Electric elements maintain steady heat regardless of external conditions. Cooking performance remains excellent. Your roasting oven still hits 240°C, simmering ovens hold steady at 115°C. The radiant heat cooking that makes Aga food special doesn't change. Many owners say their baking improves with more consistent temperatures. Heat output to your kitchen reduces significantly. Electric Agas lose less heat to the room, which is brilliant in summer but means less free heating in winter.

Is Converting Your Gas Aga Worth It?

Based on what we see in the field, gas to electric conversion makes sense for most Aga owners planning to keep their cooker. The upfront cost pays back through lower running costs, better control, and elimination of gas safety concerns.
