Nothing on the walls. Heat only the rooms you use. Slim white PowerBoard panels on the ceiling warm people and everything in the room directly, instead of heating the air first. Supplied and installed across the UK.
Aberdeen's granite tenements and seafront flats sit in one of the coldest weather corridors in the UK, with Met Office data showing average winter temperatures of around 1°C and a heating season that often runs nine months. Aberdeen City Council has been pushing district heating in the harbour and Tillydrone areas, but most properties across AB10 to AB25 still rely on gas combis or - particularly for upper-floor flats - old electric storage heaters. PoweRad's Aberdeen installers fit ceiling-mounted infrared panels across the city, with particular experience in the granite tenements of Rosemount and Old Aberdeen where running new pipework through neighbouring flats isn't practical. Each panel runs silently at 99.7% efficiency at the point of use and pairs naturally with rooftop PV for households already chasing lower carbon bills.
PoweRad fits ceiling-mounted infrared panels across Aberdeen and nearby areas including Dundee, Perth and Inverness. With local homes typically rated EPC D, moving from storage heaters or an ageing gas system to room-by-room infrared is a straightforward way to lift comfort and efficiency.
No boiler, no radiators, no pipework. Slim electric panels sit flat on the ceiling and warm the room the same way the sun warms you.
Around 3cm thin and out of sight overhead. They free up every wall, and there is nothing for children or pets to touch.
Infrared warms the walls, floor and furniture directly, the way sunshine does. The warmth is even from floor to ceiling and does not vanish the moment a door opens.
Panels reach full output in under 10 minutes and every room is controlled separately, so you only ever heat the rooms you are using.
The numbers that shape heating bills in Aberdeen, Aberdeen City.
Aberdeen households pay around £152 a month in energy bills on average. Because infrared heats rooms individually rather than the whole house at once, you only pay for the rooms you are in. Gas is cheaper per unit, so we show you the comparison with your own figures rather than a headline percentage. See how we calculate savings
Plenty of Aberdeen homes still run ageing warm-air units, gas boilers or LPG systems that cost more every year to fuel, service and repair. Infrared ceiling panels are the modern electric replacement: no pipework, no flue, no annual service. Panels are fitted room by room, usually in 1-2 days, and every room gets its own thermostat so you stop heating empty space.
Panels are independent of the existing pipework, so you can switch over room by room and cap the old system when it suits you.
No annual gas safety check, no boiler service contract, no parts to fail. A 10-year product warranty instead.

Understanding Aberdeen's unique climate, property landscape, and energy profile
Aberdeen is the coldest major UK city - Met Office data shows winter averages close to 1°C, with the heating season running around nine months a year. The North Sea haar suppresses daytime temperatures even on bright days, and the granite building stock holds cold for hours after sunrise. This is one climate where heating system performance genuinely shows in the bills.
The defining Aberdeen building material is silver granite, and the AB-postcodes are dominated by granite tenements in Rosemount, Old Aberdeen and Torry, plus the post-war Tillydrone and Northfield estates and the modern harbour-front apartments. Granite's high thermal mass means rooms take longer to warm but hold heat longer once warm - radiant infrared, which warms the granite walls directly, exploits that thermal mass much better than convective gas radiators.
Aberdeen City Council operates one of the UK's largest municipal district-heating networks (Aberdeen Heat & Power) covering parts of Tillydrone, Seaton and Stockethill. Outside that footprint, the city's housing splits between mains gas and electric storage, with rooftop solar uptake increasing rapidly through Home Energy Scotland funding.
Aberdeen's stand-out heating issues are upper-floor granite tenement flats with no gas riser, second homes that sit empty for weeks at a time during the offshore-rotation calendar (where remote control matters), and condensation on cold internal granite walls. Radiant ceiling heat addresses all three.
