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.
Brighton & Hove sits in one of the densest concentrations of converted Regency terraces in the UK, particularly around Kemptown, Hove seafront and the lanes north of the Royal Pavilion. Brighton & Hove City Council has declared a climate and biodiversity emergency and is targeting net-zero by 2030, with a clear push toward electrified heating. East Sussex winters average a relatively mild 5°C but the city's exposed coastal position brings 1,000+mm of salt-laden rain a year, and the high proportion of flat conversions means many properties simply can't get a flue through an external wall. PoweRad's Brighton installers cover BN1 to BN3 and routinely retrofit ceiling-mounted infrared panels into Regency conversions and seafront flats - work that needs no gas connection, no flue and no penetration of the listed façade.
PoweRad fits ceiling-mounted infrared panels across Brighton and nearby areas including London, Portsmouth and Southampton. 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 Brighton, East Sussex.
The numbers for Brighton: 128,000 households, 85% on gas, average energy bills of £138 a month. Room-by-room infrared control cuts the heat wasted on empty rooms, and the free remote survey works out what that means for your home specifically, at 27p/kWh. See how we calculate savings
Plenty of Brighton 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 Brighton's unique climate, property landscape, and energy profile
Brighton's south-coast position gives it relatively mild winters - averages around 5°C - but the city is fully exposed to Channel weather and gets persistent salt-laden rain that's hard on external metalwork. The seafront is meaningfully wetter and windier than Hove or Patcham just inland.
The BN1 / BN2 / BN3 area is dominated by converted Regency and Victorian terraces, particularly around Kemptown, Hove seafront and the lanes north of the Royal Pavilion. A high share of these are listed and many are flat conversions where the freeholder's external-alteration restrictions and the Brighton & Hove City Council conservation rules combine to rule out flue penetrations.
Brighton & Hove City Council declared a climate emergency and is targeting net-zero by 2030, with active grant-funded electric-heating retrofit programmes through the Brighton & Hove Energy Services Co-op (BHESCo). Most homes are on mains gas, with the seafront flat conversions skewing electric.
The defining Brighton heating problems are listed Regency conversion flats with no permitted external alterations, the very large HMO student market around the University of Sussex, and salt-corrosion on seafront gas appliances. Infrared panels handle all three with no external work.
