Cutting-edge technology and modern innovation have certainly increased the variety of appliances available – with greater capacity to offer so much more than conventional cookers, like multiple cooking plates, grills, warmers and ovens. So too does AGA, except that, although an inanimate object, by its very exclusive engineering design, it is intuitive; gentle radiant heat retains the food’s natural goodness. Each oven performs a specific function – simmering, baking, roasting or keeping your culinary masterpiece warm.

For over 100 years, AGA has not succumbed to the category of mass-produced alternatives; rather, it remains well entrenched in bespoke luxury, maintaining its status as a classic design icon.

Local economic drivers and availability of Eskom power has necessitated the discerning South African homeowner to reconsider their heating requirements now that electric underfloor heating is unviable.

Rayburn by AGA

With cooker-only models, or cooking, domestic hot water and central heating, the Rayburn is perfect for moving your home off-grid and reducing your dependence on Eskom. Our solid fuel (wood/coal) and illuminating paraffin-fired Rayburns operate at a cost of around 35-45% of the cost of electricity per kWh and can provide up to 80% of your home’s energy needs.

AGA Minsterley fireplace

The AGA Minsterley is a cast-iron fireplace that incorporates a built-in boiler. It is an ideal choice for the family home, particularly in its performance to produce hot water for central heating as a priority. Rooms to be heated have a radiator connected to the boiler, heated by the fireplace boiler to about 60 degrees. Hot water is pumped around the circuit to each radiator, discharging heat into the room; cooler water is returned to the boiler for reheating via the fireplace – thereby creating a loop of constant, comforting warmth. It’s powerful, convenient, economical and beautiful.

AGA Dual Control series

The AGA Dual Control is controllable, easy to use, with a host of refined features for flexible cooking, including gas-fired ovens always available for use, and electric hot plates with an on/off function. Ideal for cooler parts of South Africa and for those homes connected to the natural gas grid (e.g. Egoli Gas) or with access to LPG, during winter the ovens and hot plates can be left on to provide continuous warmth.

AGA is much more than just a cooker, it’s a way of life.
