Fuel Types Available For Range Cookers
There are a number of different fuel types available for range cookers and others have multi-fuel options to suit your needs. Gas and electric are the most common fuel types as well as a combination of the two. Gas provides faster instant heat but requires regulation whereas electric is a more consistent cooking temperature.

Range Cooker Energy Ratings
Range cookers like other appliances are rated on an electrical efficiency rating from A+++ to G. Older appliances are likely to be less electrically efficient as age and general wear and tear will reduce the overall efficiency of the appliance. This is why new appliances can be a great investment, especially if you are looking to save money on your energy bills.
