British people are ripping out their beloved vintage-style stoves because they are too expensive to run amid the energy crisis

People in the UK are getting rid of their vintage-style stove because of high energy costs.

Agas have become popular in the UK due to their use of gas. Up to five ovens are included.

The Aga website states that a new appliance can cost up to £25,000. Second-hand Agas can sell for thousands of dollars.

The Aga website states that some of the newer versions of the stove can be switched on and off.

The Aga has become too expensive to run due to the energy crisis. Users can expect to pay around £40 a week to run a higher-end stove, according to Aga.

Jack O'Dwyer said he has thrown out 35 Agas since the beginning of the year. He said that some of the owners cried during the process.

At least 100 people have called him to inquire about throwing out their Aga. The owners asked O'Dwyer not to charge them a removal fee because they could not afford it.

One client paid £10 a day to keep an electric version of the Aga running, but got rid of it six months later, and forking out £70 a week for a stove was "outrageous."

Since the beginning of the year, energy prices have gone up. In response to Western sanctions, the Kremlin has stopped the flow of natural gas to Europe. Governments have been forced to limit how much power they use.

Bing said he had removed the traditional stove at a rate of one a week. He stated in the report that he was converting Agas to electric at the same rate.

The cost of living was thought to be the reason for it. People moving into new homes where the stove is already present are the most likely to have it removed.

An Aga spokesman didn't respond to requests for comment made outside of normal hours.
