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.
Derby's DE-postcode area mixes Victorian terraces in Normanton and Allenton with the post-war estates of Mackworth and Sinfin, plus the new apartments around the Cathedral Quarter. Derby City Council manages around 13,000 council homes and has been actively retrofitting heating in its lowest-EPC stock. East Midlands winters here average around 3°C and the city's River Derwent valley location can leave low-lying terraces particularly damp through late autumn. PoweRad's Derby installers fit ceiling-mounted infrared panels across DE1 to DE7, with regular work in HMOs near the University of Derby, family homes in Littleover and listed properties around Friar Gate. There's no gas, no flue, no boiler service contract and no annual safety check - and each room is independently thermostatted.
PoweRad fits ceiling-mounted infrared panels across Derby and nearby areas including Nottingham, Leicester and Birmingham. 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 for Derby: 108,000 households, 93% on gas, average energy bills of £128 a month.

See how we calculate savings
Plenty of Derby 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 Derby's unique climate, property landscape, and energy profile
Derby sits in the Derwent valley with the Peak District rising to the north-west, and January averages of around 3°C are commonly a degree colder in the lower-lying terraces along the river. The valley brings persistent morning fog through autumn and early winter.
The DE-postcodes mix Victorian terraces in Normanton and Allenton, post-war estates in Mackworth and Sinfin, the listed properties around Friar Gate and the Cathedral Quarter, and the modern apartments around the city centre. Derby City Council manages around 13,000 council homes and runs an active retrofit programme on the lowest-EPC stock.
Most Derby homes are on mains gas, but the older terraces in Normanton and Allenton skew higher on EPC D and E than the city average. Derby City Council's Climate Change Strategy targets net-zero across council operations by 2035.
The recurring Derby problems are damp in solid-wall older terraces along the river plain, HMO billing fairness around the University of Derby, and listed-building constraints around Friar Gate. Independent ceiling-mounted infrared addresses all three without external alteration.
