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.
Bournemouth's BH-postcodes mix Victorian villas in Westbourne and Boscombe with the seafront apartments of West Cliff and the retirement complexes that give the town one of the oldest median ages on the south coast. Bournemouth, Christchurch & Poole Council manages the area as a single conurbation, and upgrading the old storage heating in its retirement stock is a recognised local priority. Dorset winters here are mild, averaging around 6°C, but the salt-laden coastal air is hard on traditional metal radiators and external boilers. PoweRad's Bournemouth installers fit ceiling-mounted infrared panels across BH1 to BH11, with particular experience in retirement flats where simple, set-and-forget room thermostats matter more than complex zone schedulers. There's no flue, no pipework and no annual gas safety check.
PoweRad fits ceiling-mounted infrared panels across Bournemouth and nearby areas including Southampton, Poole and Portsmouth. 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 Bournemouth, Dorset.
86% of Bournemouth's 89,000 households heat with gas, and the average energy bill runs about £128 a month. Replacing an ageing gas system with room-by-room infrared panels can cut heating costs by up to 40%, and a free remote heat-loss survey shows your like-for-like numbers before you spend a penny. See how we calculate savings
Plenty of Bournemouth 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.
A free remote heat-loss survey gives you a like-for-like running cost comparison against your current system before you decide anything.

Understanding Bournemouth's unique climate, property landscape, and energy profile
Bournemouth's BH-postcodes have some of the mildest winters of any UK area - averages around 6°C and one of the longest growing seasons in England. The salt-laden Channel air and the prevailing south-westerly are hard on external boiler condensers and pipework, particularly along West Cliff and Boscombe Pier.
The BH-postcodes mix Victorian villas in Westbourne and Boscombe with the seafront apartments of West Cliff and East Cliff, plus a very large stock of retirement and assisted-living complexes that gives Bournemouth one of the oldest median ages on the south coast. Bournemouth, Christchurch & Poole Council manages the area as a single conurbation.
Most homes heat with mains gas, but the retirement-flat stock disproportionately runs on electric storage heaters, and those residents feel heating costs more keenly than most because many are on fixed pensions. Replacing storage heaters with infrared panels gives them controllable, room-by-room heating without the overnight charging gamble.
The defining Bournemouth heating problems are storage heaters in retirement flats (where residents need simple, set-and-forget controls, not complex zone schedulers) and salt corrosion on coastal-exposed gas appliances. Sealed infrared panels need no salt-air maintenance and pair with one-touch room thermostats that older residents can use without help.
