Editing AGA cooker (section)

==Energy use==
A small, traditional "always on" two-oven model running on gas will use approximately 425kWh per week. The average standard gas oven and [[Kitchen stove|hob]] uses approximately 2.6% of the AGA range cooker's consumption.<ref name="Carbon Footprint - Household Energy Consumption">{{Cite web|url=https://www.carbonfootprint.com/energyconsumption.html|title=carbonfootprint.com - Household Energy Consumption|website=www.carbonfootprint.com}}</ref>
AGA's own figures for expected energy consumption for their two-oven model support this criticism,<ref>{{cite web | title=2-Oven Aga Cooker Specification|url=http://www.aga-web.co.uk/183.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110508233438/http://www.aga-web.co.uk/183.htm|archive-date=8 May 2011}}</ref> suggesting average consumption of 40 litres (9 gal. imp.) of [[kerosene]] or [[diesel fuel]] per week, 60 litres (13 gal. imp.) of [[propane gas]] per week, 425&nbsp;[[Watt-hour|kW⋅h]] of natural gas per week, or 220&nbsp;kW⋅h/week for the electric models. This would indicate that the smallest traditional two-oven gas AGA range cooker providing simple cooking functions (i.e. not providing a water heater or central heating) consumes thirty-eight times as much as a standard gas oven and hob, almost as much gas in a week as a standard gas oven and hob in nine months.  However, with an electric model, 100% of the energy consumed will offset the heating load of the home during cold weather.

AGA Rangemaster Group has provided an analysis of their own, which includes the steps taken to reduce energy consumption.<ref name="AGAnomics ">{{cite web |url= http://www.agaliving.com/media/780375/Aganomics.pdf|title=AGAnomics – The guide to AGA home economics | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190328165558/http://www.agaliving.com/media/780375/Aganomics.pdf | archive-date=28 March 2019 | access-date=24 April 2020}}</ref>

The majority of AGA range cookers still sold are programmable. The 2011 model, the Total Control,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.agaliving.com/our-products/aga-total-control.aspx |title=AGA - AGA Total Control |access-date=16 October 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111006192147/http://www.agaliving.com/our-products/aga-total-control.aspx |archive-date=6 October 2011 }}</ref> uses the same radiant heat to cook, but is designed to be switched off like a regular cooker when not in use, using far less energy. Oil burning models can be fitted with a modern pressure jet [[oil burner]] in place of the standard wick burner which burns the fuel more efficiently and so reduces oil consumption.
