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.
Much of Hereford's housing has stood for decades. Tudor buildings with an average age of around 85 years are common across the Herefordshire area, and older solid-wall homes like these are exactly where radiant infrared heat helps, because it warms room surfaces directly rather than just the air. Sitting in the West Midlands, Hereford sees winter temperatures average around 3.5°C, with a heating season close to 8 months. A system that warms a room in under 10 minutes, and lets you heat only the spaces you use, makes a real difference over a winter that long. With only about 52% of Hereford properties on the mains gas network, many households already rely on electric heating. PoweRad infrared panels give them fixed, room-by-room control at 99.7% efficiency at the point of use. Every install is backed by a 10-year warranty, and a PoweRad fitter can retrofit most Hereford rooms in a single day without lifting floors or chasing walls.
PoweRad fits ceiling-mounted infrared panels across Hereford and nearby areas including Worcester, Gloucester and Shrewsbury. With local homes typically rated EPC E, 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 Hereford, Herefordshire.
Hereford households pay around £145 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 Hereford 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.
