The Importance of Regular AGA Servicing in the Midlands: What Most Homeowners Overlook

An AGA cooker isn’t just an appliance — it’s part of your home’s heritage. For many homeowners across the Midlands, from Chipping Norton to Cheltenham and the Cotswolds, an AGA is the warm heart of the kitchen, often installed during renovations and cherished for decades.

But while AGAs are built to last, they aren’t maintenance-free. Many homeowners overlook regular servicing, which can lead to inefficiency, higher running costs, and even expensive repairs down the line.

In this guide, we’ll explore why regular AGA servicing is essential, what’s involved, and the common mistakes Midlands homeowners make when it comes to maintaining these iconic cookers.

If you’re based in the Midlands and considering an AGA service, here’s what a reputable engineer should cover

  • Full system inspection – checking burners, controls, and thermostats

  • Flue cleaning – removing soot and blockages for safety and efficiency

  • Seal and insulation checks – maintaining heat retention

  • Fuel efficiency optimisation – calibrating your AGA to minimise running costs

  • Parts replacement – worn or faulty components swapped before they cause bigger problems

 
  • A well-serviced AGA heats up faster, uses less fuel, and maintains consistent cooking temperatures. For those with oil or gas models, servicing ensures burners are cleaned and calibrated — preventing unnecessary energy waste.

  • AGAs are built to last generations, but only if they’re cared for. Servicing protects the longevity of your cooker, maintaining its value and performance for decades.

  • Older, neglected AGAs often consume more fuel than necessary. A full service ensures your cooker operates at maximum efficiency, keeping your heating and cooking costs under control.

  • Small issues, like worn seals or clogged flues, can escalate if left unchecked. Regular servicing catches these problems early, saving you from expensive emergency callouts.

What Homeowners Often Overlook

We’ve spoken to dozens of homeowners across the Midlands, and here are the top three things most people forget about when it comes to AGA care:

  1. Skipping Services for “Newer” Models
    Even modern electric and hybrid AGAs need annual servicing to maintain performance.

  2. Assuming Any Gas Engineer Will Do
    Always choose an AGA-certified specialist. Standard engineers often lack the training to handle heritage appliances.

  3. Delaying Repairs Until Winter
    Many homeowners wait until the colder months, but this is when engineers are busiest. Book your service early to avoid long delays.

How Often Should You Service Your AGA?

  • Oil-fired models → every 6 months

  • Gas models → once a year

  • Electric models → every 12–18 months

If your AGA is over 15 years old or hasn’t been serviced in the last two years, it’s worth booking an inspection as soon as possible.
