We are about to move to a house which has an Aga. (House is empty at

Does anyone know what fuel it uses - I think some sort of anthracite but are
there different types?

Also the books I have read say solid fuel Agas should be serviced once a
year by a specialist - my husband says this is a waste of money as there is
nothing to go wrong, it will just need a bit of cleaning - is he right?

Hi there! Found your thread whilst searching for advice. We are in a nearly similar boat.... thinking of buying a house with a 2 oven solid fuel aga. The current owner uses coal and it supplies the heating and hot water for the house as well as being a cooker. I'm a bit worried - never used an aga but also have a 3 year old who is very asthmatic. How did you get on? Are you still using it and do you love it? Does it make a lot of dust and smoke? apologies for the millions of questions. It's a sticking point on the house purchase for my hubby - I think it will be awesome!

many thanks in anticipation
