Removing AGA that provides heating

Parties03

Hi, 

a few of the houses I’ve recently looked at have AGAs in the kitchen. The recent one has it supplying heat to the kitchen and bathroom when it is switched on. House is otherwise heated by gas. 

I don’t like AGAs for cooking, and would prefer regular heating. Any idea how much it would cost to change the way the rooms are heated a is it just a case of having the AGA removed and radiators added? 

I’d also want to replace it with a gas range cooker - as it’s gas already is that just a case of swapping them over with installation? 

Thanks

Depending on how accessible the CH plumbing and how easy it is to route pipes to the bathroom/kitchen, it shouldn't be too expensive. If you don't have much wall space in the kitchen, it is well worth fitting a plinth heater (although you will need a fused spur) - Got one in my kitchen and it gives a warm breeze across the floor.

Depending on the age of the AGA you could sell it and replace with gas range cooker quite easily. Again renning extra radiators should not be an issue if current boiler suitable.

Firstly, you need to check how the house is heated "by gas" - is there a separate gas boiler?

Could it be that the Aga *is* the heating boiler ... some are.

411 to chose from here although they all seem to be Rayburn labelled rather than Aga
