Heating that fits how a modern surgery actually operates

PowerBoard ceiling panels match this rhythm. Each consultation room has its own Wi-Fi thermostat, set to scheduled clinic times, with frost protection out of hours. The panels are completely silent, with zero air movement (so they don\'t compete with HEPA filtration or compromise infection control), and they reach setpoint within minutes of switching on.

For practice managers the operational benefits matter just as much: no annual gas safety, no boiler service contract, no ductwork to clean, and wipe-clean panels that comply with CQC infection control standards.

Watch our introduction to infrared heating, the technology behind every PoweRad gp surgery installation.

Why infrared suits GP surgeries and clinics

Silent during consultations, per-room control, and infection-control friendly.

Silent during consultations

Zero fans, zero compressor hum. Clinicians and patients can hear each other clearly – no interruption to chest examinations, blood-pressure checks or sensitive conversations.

No airborne circulation

Infrared moves no air, so it does not redistribute coughs, droplets or aerosols around the consultation room – supporting standard infection control practice.

Per-room scheduled comfort

Each consultation room runs on its own clinic-day schedule. Frost protection at night and weekends; comfortable from the moment the first patient arrives.

Benefits of PowerBoard for your GP surgery

Lower running costs

A typical 8-room surgery (300m²) drops from £4,500/year on gas to £1,800–£2,400/year on grid PowerBoard, falling further on smart off-peak tariffs.

No more LGSC and boiler servicing

No annual gas safety certificate, no boiler service contract, no surprise breakdowns mid-clinic. Replaced by a 10-year product warranty.

Supports CQC compliance

No airborne particle generation, no ductwork, wipe-clean surfaces – all aligned with CQC and HTM infection control standards.

Reclaim the plant room as treatment space

No boiler or flue means the plant room can become an additional consultation or treatment room – directly clinically useful.

Quieter consultations

No HVAC start-up mid-appointment. Clinicians report measurable quality-of-conversation improvements.

Phased install around clinic days

Each room takes hours to install, scheduled around clinic days. No surgery shutdown required.
