AGA range cookers are built to last for generations, and their prices reflect both craftsmanship and longevity. The cost of an AGA can vary widely depending on the model, size, fuel type and whether it is new, reconditioned or converted. This guide gives an overview of what to expect when budgeting for an AGA.
New AGA Cookers
A brand new AGA purchased directly from the manufacturer or a main dealer can range from around £8,000 to over £20,000, depending on size and specification. Smaller two oven models start at the lower end, while larger four and five oven models with integrated modules, induction hobs or advanced controls sit at the top of the range. Newer electric systems often include app controls and timers, allowing different zones to be switched on and off as needed, which helps reduce running costs over time.
Reconditioned and Refurbished AGAs
A reconditioned AGA offers the same traditional look and build quality as a new one at a lower price. A professionally refurbished cooker usually costs between £3,000 and £8,000, depending on size, enamel colour and upgrades. At Smart Range, we refurbish and re enamel AGAs to a high standard, replacing insulation, thermostats and worn components to ensure reliable performance and efficiency.
Electric Conversions
If you already own an older AGA, conversion to a modern electric system can be more cost effective than replacing it entirely. Prices generally range from £2,000 to £5,000, depending on the model and type of system installed. Conversions can transform a constant burning cooker into a controllable one, allowing individual ovens and hotplates to be switched on only when needed. This improves efficiency and running costs without losing the traditional radiant heat style of cooking.
Second Hand AGAs
Privately sold AGAs can cost anywhere from £500 to £2,000, but buyers should be cautious. Most used AGAs will need dismantling, transport, reassembly and likely some refurbishment. Once these costs are added, a reconditioned unit from a specialist often represents better long term value.
Installation and Extras
Installation costs are usually separate from the cooker price. Expect to pay around £500 to £1,500 for dismantling, delivery and reassembly by a qualified engineer. Additional work such as plinth building, electrical upgrades or flue installation may also be needed. Optional extras like matching splashbacks, hob covers and cookware sets can add to the final total.
Summary of Typical Prices
| Type | Estimated Cost | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| New AGA | £8,000–£20,000 | Direct from manufacturer or main dealer |
| Reconditioned | £3,000–£8,000 | Fully refurbished and re enamelled |
| Conversion | £2,000–£5,000 | Upgrade to modern electric system |
| Second hand (private) | £500–£2,000 | Additional removal and rebuild costs likely |
Choosing the Right Option
The best choice depends on your budget, energy preferences and whether you already own a cooker. If you want the look and feel of a traditional AGA with modern efficiency, a reconditioned or converted model is often the most practical option.
