Is Your Electrickit Original AGA Due a Service?

With the earliest Electrickit Original conversions now approaching 13 years old, many are quietly losing performance — often without their owners realising. If your AGA was converted using the Electrickit Original system, there's a good chance it has never had a dedicated service. Here's why that matters, and what we can do about it.

A Revolution in AGA Ownership

When the Electrickit Original conversion was introduced, it was a game changer for AGA owners. For the first time, an effective conversion kit meant traditional cast iron range cookers could be converted from oil or solid fuel to clean, controllable electric power — without losing the character and cooking performance that makes an AGA so special. Hampshire Cooker Conversions has been fitting Electrickit conversions since the very beginning, and over the years we have installed them in homes across Hampshire and the South of England.

The Problem with Ageing Conversions

Like any appliance, the components that make up an Electrickit Original conversion don't last forever. Thermostats drift out of calibration, connections loosen over time, and elements can gradually lose efficiency. The frustrating thing is that this often happens so slowly that owners don't notice until their AGA is significantly underperforming — taking longer to heat up, not reaching the right temperature, or using more electricity than it should.

In some cases owners assume this is just how their AGA performs, not realising that a service could restore it to something close to its original performance.

What Our 25-Point Service Covers

We have developed an exclusive 25-point service specifically for Electrickit Original converted AGAs. This isn't a generic range cooker service — it is tailored precisely to the Electrickit system and draws on over 13 years of hands-on experience with these conversions.

During the service we carry out a comprehensive inspection of the entire appliance, working through each system methodically. This includes:

✅ Wiring, connection and component checks ✅ Element resistance testing ✅ Control thermostat replacement and calibration ✅ Light clean of hob surfaces, ovens and panels ✅ Written service record provided on the day

We replace key components as standard rather than waiting for them to fail, and we test the AGA thoroughly to make sure it is performing within the correct temperature ranges. Where we identify opportunities for upgrades or improvements, we will discuss these with you and can often carry out the work during the same visit.

Why It Matters

An AGA is not a cheap appliance to own, and for most people it is the heart of the kitchen. Keeping it running efficiently means better cooking and heating performance, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing it has been properly looked after. A service also gives you a written record of the condition of your appliance and any work carried out — useful if you ever come to sell your home.

Leaving a conversion unserviced for years can also mean that small issues develop into bigger, more expensive ones. A thermostat that drifts slightly out of calibration is a straightforward fix during a service. Left unchecked, it can cause the AGA to run inefficiently for years or put strain on other components.
