ECO Friendly AGA type cookers & cooker boilers

Choosing Your Cooker

Where to start 

The first decision for the homeowner or designer installing a range cooker or heating system is the type of fuel to be burned:  wood, coal, oil, or Nat./L.P.G. gas. Oil and gas power a heating system using time clocks and thermostats to control the heat in your home automatically. However, they also require electricity, which is subject to power cuts. Oil and Natural gas are a similar price, but LPG costs about 45% more. Coal is considered a severe pollutant, as well as being non-renewable, whilst wood and solar are renewable and encouraged by the government. A solid fuel system is not automatic, as you have to load it and control the heat. All fuels except solar will require some type of chimney or venting and that can affect the finances and the final decision.

1. Do you have a chimney near to where you require the cooker? If yes, the choice is open.
2. If you have no chimney, all is not lost. Do you have a convenient external wall? If yes, then you can go for a balanced flue oil or gas model from the Eco Range, Sandyford and Marshall ranges. Note, the author does not recommend power flues as in his experience they are unreliable and expensive to maintain.
3. If there is no external wall and no chimney, one can be built either in traditional brick or in a 'kit' form in stainless steel.
4. If you have Nat. or LPG gas you can site a flueless cooker anywhere.  ESSE, Eco Range and Sandyford all make 100% efficient flueless gas cookers.
5. If you do not have a chimney, natural or LPG gas and do not want the cooker on an external wall, there are electric models. Everhot, Esse and AGA all make such cookers.
6. Most cookers can be combined with an external boiler, wood stove and solar panels for heating by changing the hot water cylinder to a twin coil or thermal store model.
