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.
Bath is a UNESCO World Heritage site, and Bath & North East Somerset Council enforces some of the strictest planning controls in England - particularly around the Royal Crescent, the Circus and the Georgian terraces of Lansdown and Widcombe. Visible flues, external boilers and extract fans are all heavily restricted, which makes a conventional gas combi upgrade genuinely difficult for many leaseholders. Somerset winters average around 4.5°C and the heating season runs close to seven months, so the system has to work hard. PoweRad's Bath installers cover BA1 and BA2 and fit ceiling-mounted infrared panels that sit flush against existing plasterwork - invisible from the street and sympathetic to listed-building consent. Each panel is silent, has no moving parts and runs at 99.7% efficiency at the point of use.
PoweRad fits ceiling-mounted infrared panels across Bath and nearby areas including Bristol, Swindon and Cardiff. 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 Bath, Somerset.
Bath households pay around £142 a month in energy bills on average. Because infrared heats rooms individually rather than the whole house at once, replacing an ageing gas system can save up to 40% on heating costs, and swapping out storage heaters or oil saves more. See how we calculate savings
Plenty of Bath 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 Bath's unique climate, property landscape, and energy profile
Bath sits in a steep-sided Avon valley bowl, and the trapped morning air gives the city a distinctive winter inversion - the Royal Crescent can sit several degrees warmer than the river-level streets below on a still January morning. The heating season runs close to seven months in the older Georgian housing.
Bath is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the dominant property type is the listed Georgian terrace - particularly the Royal Crescent, the Circus, Lansdown Crescent and the long terraces along Great Pulteney Street. Almost any external alteration requires Bath & North East Somerset Council listed-building consent, which rules out conventional condensing-boiler upgrades for many leaseholders.
Most BA-postcode homes are on mains gas, but the practical reality of the listed-building consent regime means that for many Bath flats, replacing a failing combi like-for-like is no longer permitted. Bath & North East Somerset Council's Climate Emergency Strategy targets net-zero by 2030.
The defining Bath heating problem is listed-building consent - visible flues, external boilers and extract fans are all heavily restricted across the World Heritage core. Ceiling-mounted infrared panels sit flush against existing plasterwork, are invisible from the street and routinely receive consent under the council's Conservation Area Appraisal.
