Q: How often do I need to service my range cooker?
Range cookers come in various capacities and models, which require different servicing routines that run between six to months. Therefore, you should refer to the manufacturer's guide for the specific servicing needs of your cooker.
However, we recommend that you service an average domestic 3-oven cooker AGA after every 12 months. You can contact us and give us the specifics of your particular appliance so we can serve you better.
Q: Why should I service my range cooker?
Servicing ensures your home is safe- especially if your range cooker uses gas, since it enables detecting any gas leaks. It also helps in cutting your energy bills by making sure that your range cooker works in the most energy-efficient manner, as well as helping you save on any money you would need to order food because the cooker is not working correctly. Furthermore, routine servicing extends the life of the range cooker so you can use it for years to come without the need to buy another.
Q: Do I need to prepare for a service?
You will have to turn your cooker off the night before we come to service it to allow the internal components to cool down. If it is your boiler that needs servicing, then you should also ensure that there is free access to the boiler and the airing cupboard. You should also make sure that pets and children are not in the house especially if it is a gas-fuelled cooker that has a problem.
Q: How long does a service take?
We focus on reducing any inconveniences we may cause as we carry out our services. We, therefore, take a short time as we possibly can, and complete our task in at most half a day to enable you to cook your favourite meal in time for your family's dinner. However, we may take longer depending on the condition of your cooker since if it has more issues that may cause problems later, we will have to address them there and save you another day of downtime.
