Is your Range Cooker expensive to run?
Then consider an electric conversion to a 13amp supply.
The 13amp Electric Model is simplicity itself - using a standard 13amp supply, similar to that of an electric kettle. The cooker cooks and heats using the radiated heat principles in exactly the same way as the oil and gas models.
Its internals and workings are very similar to an oil or gas range cooker but, instead of using a burner, electric elements heats the cast iron and is controlled by a thermostat to suit personal requirements as and when required throughout the day. Conduction and convection then spread the warmth to the hot plates and ovens using air which is re-circulated time again - there are no products of combustion to exhaust so no heat is wasted to a flue and the system is highly efficient.
Just like all heat storage in range cookers, the cast iron ovens are vented to the outside. This is through a vent pipe that runs from the back of the cooker, which also means that you don't necessarily need to site the cooker on an outside wall. Therefore, a chimney is not necessary.
The key benefits of the 13amp Range Cooker are as follows:
- No servicing required
- Can be run from a 13amp household supply (fused spur point recommended)
- Can be controlled by a timer
- Does not require a chimney and as such can be positioned almost anywhere in your home
- Enjoy lower settings in the summer
- Switch off when you go on holiday
- Start up when you return home
- Ability for it to be run from renewable energy sources
What the running costs are for the 13amp Model?
While it is difficult to give an exact figure, due to the constant fluctuations in energy prices and different usage patterns that each customer has, below are approximate figures:
Range Cooker 2 oven 13amp electric: Approx £18 a week
Range Cooker 4 oven 13amp electric: Approx £21 a week
Greener choice
Range cookers are actually designed to conserve energy and fuel. Once the ovens and hot plates reach their optimum temperatures, the RANGE COOKER unique storage system requires very little fuel to maintain these settings. They are very well insulated to release as little heat as possible. you are also conserving energy and helping the environment.
