Home on the range

Discovering an energy efficient, British-made stove that is gracing stylish kitchens across the county.

Range cookers are becoming increasingly popular as an energy-efficient way to cook food. With rising energy prices, they offer an economical solution for households looking to save money on their energy bills. Not only do they use less electricity than traditional ovens and stoves, they also provide a more consistent cooking experience due to their even heat distribution. In addition, range cookers are available in a variety of sizes and styles, allowing you to find the perfect fit for your kitchen layout.

Wendron Stoves is proud to be an Everhot dealer; the brand’s elegant, British-made range cookers are the choice for country kitchens across the UK. The first Everhot was invented over 40 years ago, and to this day they are still providing both warmth and the perfect cooking conditions. An Everhot is designed specifically to work with renewable energy sources, such as solar power, using up to half of the energy of traditional range cookers, making them the most energy-efficient range cooker on the market.

Everhot electric range cookers have radiant heat ovens and are available in seven sizes to fit any kitchen design, and 21 colours, so there is one to fit every space or interior style. From bold, striking brights to charming, heritage tones, these cookers are handmade in Everhot’s carbon-negative factory in the Cotswolds, combining British craftsmanship with energy-efficient engineering based on decades of heritage and innovation.

An Everhot has all the benefits of a traditional range, perfect for cooking and gently warming your kitchen, as well as drying laundry, making a cuppa, toasting bread on the hot plate and warming wellies and coats before school – you’ll wonder how you ever lived without one. However, while the look may be traditional, an Everhot cooker is packed with modern features such as programmability, temperature control, a grill and the latest induction hob technology. This truly is the only cooker you will need in your kitchen.

In terms of cost to run, the true test of a heat storage cooker’s efficiency is what it costs to run over a 24-hour period with its ovens and cast-iron plates turned on. An Everhot is designed to run 24/7, with the benefit that during warmer months, Everhot’s default factory set ECO program can be used to drop the cooker into a low power mode from 9pm each evening to 6am each morning. Many of Wendron Stove’s customers won’t use their ovens in the morning, and with the option to separate the heat-up of the hot plate and the ovens by up to 12 hours these range cookers are very versatile.

Sustainability remains deeply embedded in Everhot’s DNA and the engineers never stop trying to find ways to improve their cookers’ efficiency. Not only does the Everhot series use less than half the energy of their traditional counterparts, but the production site runs on green energy and is now proud to be carbon neutral. Conserving energy is the core principle of Everhot’s design, with local manufacturing used where possible as well as offsetting any damage their manufacturing processes cause. All the cookers are assembled in Gloucestershire, with parts exclusively sourced from the UK. The company even has its own energy source; a 25kw water turbine from 1978 that also powers its head office.

From the smaller Everhot 60, which is suitable for kitchens where space is at a premium, to the newest member of the Everhot family, the 160i, which has four full ovens with two top grills and an easy-to-adjust control panel neatly hidden between a middle fifth door, there is a cooker for everyone. Wendron Stoves has eight Everhot range cookers on display in its showrooms – two in Helston and six in Truro – so you can see all of the benefits and appreciate the incredible craftsmanship for yourself.

With over 30 years of experience, Wendron Stoves prides itself on its bespoke customer service. With a wide range of both wood burning stoves and range cookers, displayed across two elegant showrooms, the choice is endless. Nathan and his team are able to advise on the best stove or range for your home and with their own experienced fitters all you need worry about is which product to choose. With prices of Everhot cookers rising in April, there has never been a better time to invest in the heart of your home.
