Electric Aga service maintenance and breakdown
The electric Aga while offering the same cooking experience as other Aga fuel
types is a different appliance when it comes to service and maintenance.
There are two types of electric Aga.
30 AMP NIGHT STORAGE
ELECTRIC AGA
The original
Night storage 30 amp electric Aga was introduced 20 years ago and sold well when initially
introduced due to the ability to use off peak electricity and also due the fact
it did not use a conventional flue. The original 30
amp Aga used only an oven vent, which mean that it was more flexible in its
placement but also it meant that it did not require the cost of a conventional
flue.
One other apparent attraction at the time was that it was assumed no maintenance
was necessary. This was not the case and the cooker proved to be maintenance
heavy, which was also proved relatively costly.
The elements on this model were initially wired in serial, which meant that if
one failed the cooker went off. This was changed with later updates but many
other components such as the PCB, controller, oven vent fans, circulating fans,
triac and wiring all proved to require regular updates and maintenance.
30 AMP NIGHT STORAGE
ELECTRIC AGA SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
As the appliance sold in relatively small numbers compared to its oil and gas
counterparts there are very few electric Aga engineers who can work on these
appliance. We can offer service and maintenance on these models to allow you
peace of mind and a comprehensive back up service to ensure you electric 30 amp
night storage Aga is there when you need it.
13 AMP ELECTRIC AGA (low
maintenance, extended vent including aims)
The
13 amp electric Aga has been
introduced in the last few years and has proved to be a very successful model.
It now makes up a high percentage of new Aga sales. This is due to its low
maintenance and relative ease of installation. As with the original electric Aga
the new 13-amp cooker does not need a flue. In addition it also does not require
the more expensive installation of 30-amp supply for the appliance using the
more common 13-amp supply.
The
13 amp electric Aga has been
recently updated with the addition of the AIMS system. Relatively
straightforward in principal it reduces the electrical supply to the Aga in
periods (such as overnight when the Aga is not used) to improve the overall
economy of the cooker by substantial margin.
Similar in principal to a timer for a central heating boiler it can also be
programmed for individual days. This addition certainly helps the Aga owner
conscience in this ever increasing days of awareness to economy and ever
increasing fuel bills.
13 AMP ELECTRIC AGA SERVICE AND MAINTENACE
Due to this models
recent introduction there are few engineers trained and able to work on this
appliance. Most Aga engineers are oil and gas engineers not electric. Thankfully
we can offer a complete service as we deal with all fuels and the electric Aga
is one of our specialities./span>
Although one hopes a new
13 amp electric Aga will not require maintenance should the unthinkable happen
we are there to get you back up and running quickly and efficiently.
