Veterinary practices have a unique heating challenge

PowerBoard infrared panels remove all three. They are completely silent, move zero air, and provide stable radiant warmth that helps post-operative recovery, kennel comfort and consultation calm. Each room – consult, prep, theatre, recovery, kennels, isolation – runs on its own thermostat at the temperature appropriate to its use.

For practice owners the benefits go further: no annual gas safety, no boiler service, no ductwork to clean (animal hair and dander rapidly clog air-handler filters), and a 10-year product warranty in place of the typical commercial heating service contract.

Why infrared suits veterinary practices

Silent for anxious animals, hygienic for clinical work, per-room for varied use cases.

Silent for anxious animals

Zero fans, zero compressor noise. Cats, exotics and post-op patients are not stressed by unfamiliar mechanical sounds.

No fans recirculating dander

Animal hair and dander quickly clog ducted air-handler filters. PowerBoard has no filters, no ductwork, and no air movement to spread allergens.

Per-room temperature targets

Theatre 18–20°C, recovery 22–24°C, kennels 21°C, consult 20°C – each room set to the right temperature for the species and clinical use.

Benefits of PowerBoard for your veterinary practice

Lower running costs

A typical small-animal practice (250m²) drops from £4,000/year on gas to £1,600–£2,200/year on grid PowerBoard.

No more clogged air-handler filters

Dander, hair and allergens never enter heating equipment. No filter changes, no airflow degradation, no associated maintenance.

Calmer animals, fewer incidents

Silent operation and no surprising air currents reduce stress responses, especially in cats, exotics and post-operative patients.

Per-room temperatures that match the use

Theatre, prep, recovery, kennels and consult each at the right temperature – impossible with a single building-wide system.

No annual gas safety, no boiler service

Remove the LGSC, service contracts and breakdown risk mid-list. Replaced by a 10-year product warranty.

Phased install around clinics

Each room takes hours; the practice never has to close.
