The aga ticks over at around 1KW continuous. Thats about right we find
for march to June, and September to November. That heats about 200
square meters of house floorage.


Have you measured this by oil consumption?



Not really. I know its the least of my problems. Its a guesstimate.

My biggest problem is heatloss when the wind blows. A suspended concrete
floor with massive ventilation under it, plus two open chimneys and 6
underfloor ducts to feed them and the aga, plus uncertain hermetic
sealing on the walls..never mnond doors with keyholes in them.. Huge
draught through a keyhole..





I timed the gas meter with the cooker in the steady state and go a
figure of about 700W.



I wouldn't be surprised if we were at that. ISTR that the model in
question was supposed to be 600W of HEAT given off. I assumed that was
optimistic.

Heck we use that just running enough lights to light the corridoors and
main rooms at night.
