As the cooler weather of autumn appears you’ll know it’s time to start thinking about having your AGA serviced ready for the busy months ahead.

If you’re lucky enough to own an AGA, you already know it's more than just a cooker—it’s the warm, beating heart of your home. From perfectly baked breads to slow-cooked stews, AGA cookers are celebrated for their reliability, versatility, and unique charm. To keep your AGA performing at its best, regular servicing is essential. Let’s explore why AGA servicing is important, what it involves, and how it can help you enjoy the full benefits of your beloved cooker.

Why Does Your AGA Need Servicing?

Just like any other major appliance, your AGA requires regular maintenance to ensure it runs safely and efficiently. Here are a few key reasons why servicing is so crucial:

Optimal Performance: Over time, an AGA can accumulate deposits of soot, dust, and grease that affect its performance. A service will clean and adjust the necessary parts, ensuring your AGA cooks as evenly and reliably as the day it was installed.
Energy Efficiency: Regular servicing can help your AGA run more efficiently, saving you money on fuel and reducing your carbon footprint. A well-maintained AGA will burn fuel more cleanly and effectively, which is good for both your wallet and the environment.
Safety: Safety is always a top priority. AGA servicing includes checks for potential hazards like carbon monoxide leaks, ensuring your home remains a safe and healthy environment for you and your family.
Longevity: AGA cookers are built to last, often being passed down through generations. Regular servicing can help extend the life of your cooker, allowing you to enjoy its benefits for many years to come.

How Often Should You Service Your AGA?

The frequency of servicing depends on the type of AGA you own. Typically, it’s recommended to have your oil AGA serviced every six months and your gas AGA cooker every 12 months. Electric AGA cookers can have a safety check every 5 years. Regularly scheduling your service will help you avoid unexpected issues and keep your cooker in prime condition.

Choosing the Right AGA Service Provider
