How warm does your Aga make your home?

[TheTeaFairy]

We're in the middle of planning our new kitchen and have decided to go for a dual control three-oven Aga . It's not a very big room (about 4.5m x 3m), with one door and two windows.

My DH is all for removing the radiator that's currently there, to give us more wall space/furniture options. I'm not so sure… will we be cold or toasty I'm always cold?

TIA

Hooray, more reassurance as if I needed it that an Aga is essential for my health and happiness

In the interests of research would any of you be willing to post a picture of your Aga?

I got my dreamed of aga 16 years ago and have never regretted it. It came with us when we moved house 5 years ago - never gets turned off except for servicing every year. We do have radiators in the kitchen but i dont think they come on very often because of the aga. You could put down underfloor heating if you are laying new floors - others tell me how efficient it is and that they only need to put it on for a short time in the mornings.

Ive just taken a photo but have never tried to upload one before so dont know if it will come up!! Here goes ....

Oohh lovely thread! Our first Aga is being delivered end of Nov and I'm so excited! We have a radiator in the room too (it's 5m x 6m and north facing) so will see how we get on... I think in a room your size OP you won't need it, my parents had one in a kitchen about that size and it was always toasty!

Beachy I LOVE your red one, we're having black as we have red quarry tiles but I would have loved a bright red Aga.

Beachys, bilbo and Slice thank you all!

Slice: what sort of Aga are you having? Size? Fuel etc? Please update so I can enjoy your new Aga vicariously as mine won't be arriving until spring at the earliest

Love my Aga

Vicarious Aga love it's a black gas fuel traditional one (I'm worrying now we should have gone for dual control but I've only ever used a traditional one so sticking with what I know). We ordered 2 ovens initially but then changed to 3 ovens after a last minute "why the hell not" moment when something else on our kitchen extension came in under budget never mind that everything else is over We've now had a 2 week delay on the building due to some unexpected stuff and I might have to reschedule the Aga. Argh! It MUST be done by Christmas!

I'll take a pic of mine later. I used to have a British Racing Green two oven, i grew up with a cream two oven and when we moved house we bought a new 3 oven in the one that isn't quite black (can't remember the name). (Not quite enough room for a 4 oven ) Not sure in hindsight that the three oven is worth the extra money.
