Do you mean an Oil conversion?.

 

It's probably cheaper just to keep burning anthracite coal, whilst it should preferably be coke.

 

From memory our old Aga in the farmhouse used about a sack a week for all the cooking and hot water around £8-12 a week Vs from what I've read around 50 litres of oil a week.

Your memory doesn't do inflation justice! Speaking to the coal man at the start of the season 'house coal' was going for about £35 for 50kg, smokeless £30 - he can't get normal coal and the prices because of it have gone right up, he can't get coke either (even pet coke from the oil refineries), his anthracite is about the same as smokeless..

 

Oil benefits that is is fairly hassle free, light it and go?

Was chatting to our local coal man just before the holidays, large anthracite, pet coke, smokeless nuggets, all £25 per 50kg bag delivered, plenty of all three available.

It was a long while ago I'll admit, six years atleast, it's an ancient 1960s model.

 

But an oil fired aga is just like throwing your money out of a window as it does mean rebuilding the internals.

 

If it's costing too much, get an oil boiler and keep the beasty as a feature.

Towie Works in Carmarthen sell everything you need. The conversation is really simple.

Yes, they have always been about the same, house coal used to be £7 for a sack when smokeless was £18 or £19 and now it is more even for the nationwide suppliers when i looked
