Oil or electric aga in this situation?

saverstacey

The cottage I am interested in has oil fired central heating, but the kitchen has an electric cooker point.

I want to put in a reconditioned aga. Would I be best with all electric or an oil fired one? There is currently no flue in place. The opposite kitchen wall is also the dining room wall, and the dining room has a wood burner on that wall. Could that chimney be used for a flue?

Thanks for any advice

First off, you can only use a chimney for one appliance.
You could have a horizonal vent on an external wall, depends on the model though

Depends what you mean by an 'Aga' though, do you mean a range cooker that looks like an Aga or does it have to be an Aga ?
If it was me i'd go for an electric one, easy to install and very little servicing required; in particular Everhots are cracking bits of kit (bit pricey though); failing that Rangemasters are good.
