I have heard mixed reports on their reliability.

The average fuel aga runs at about 600W-1kw 24x7., If that's OK on your
bills, it should be fine..

The 4 oven electric Aga averages 1,600W/hr continuously (270kW a
week) according to Aga. By buying a £300 add on timer (Aga
Intelligent Management System) this can be reduced to about 1,300W/hr
or a mere 11.4 MWh per year at a cost of about £1,100.




To be fair, that heat does heat the house so in winter at least there
is some offset.

And in summer there is the 'negative offset' of running a/c to keep cool
in the kitchen?
