Installation

It is very important if you are having an Aga range cooker for your home that it is installed by a professionally trained independent Aga range cooker engineer. The Aga range cooker it's self arrives in kit form and is built up on site generally taking around a whole day to complete. Also, connection of fuel pipes and flue pipes and the commisioning of the Aga range cooker must be carried out by a fully qualified engineer.

The actual building of the Aga range cooker, connection of the primary flue, final connection to the gas/oil line and commisioning of the Aga range cooker is what Martin specializes in. There will be preperation work required prior to the Aga range cooker installation by a third party such as laying a plinth, installation of secondary flue pipes and flue terminations, oil tank installations and running gas/oil lines. All info and technical advise can be given by Martin so that the site can be prepared correctly!
