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.
Inverness is the Highland capital and one of the coldest urban areas in the UK, with Met Office data showing average winter lows close to 0°C and a heating season that comfortably exceeds nine months. The Highland Council area covers a vast geography, with much of the IV-postcode housing stock sitting off the mains gas network and dependent on oil, LPG or electric storage heaters. PoweRad's Inverness installers cover IV1 to IV3 and fit ceiling-mounted infrared panels into the city's Victorian villas around Crown and Drummond, modern bungalows in Smithton and Culloden, and the apartments along the river Ness. There are no fuel deliveries to book, no flue penetration through stone external walls and no annual boiler service. That matters on a Highland property that may sit empty for parts of the year.
PoweRad fits ceiling-mounted infrared panels across Inverness and nearby areas including Aberdeen, Dundee and Perth. With local homes typically rated EPC C, 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 Inverness, Highland.
Inverness's heating picture: 28,000 homes, average energy bills of £165 a month, 72% heated by gas. Infrared with room-by-room thermostats cuts waste at the source, with savings of up to 40% against an ageing gas system. See the running costs guide below for the full comparison. See how we calculate savings
Plenty of Inverness 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 Inverness's unique climate, property landscape, and energy profile
Inverness is one of the coldest urban areas in the UK - winter lows close to 0°C and a heating season that comfortably exceeds nine months. The Moray Firth keeps maxes a little above the Highland inland average, but ground frost is reliable from October through April.
The IV-postcodes cover an unusually wide geography - the Highland Council area is the largest local-authority area in the UK by land - and housing ranges from Victorian villas in Crown and Drummond, modern bungalows in Smithton and Culloden, riverside apartments and a large rural off-grid stock that depends on oil, LPG or electricity.
A meaningful share of Highland housing sits off the mains gas network and heats with oil, LPG or electric storage heaters. Swapping storage heaters for infrared panels cuts the cost of heating through a season that stretches past nine months, with no fuel deliveries to plan around.
The defining Inverness and wider Highland heating problems are heating oil dependence through long winters, holiday lets that sit empty for parts of the year and need remote heating control, and the sheer cost of running storage heaters across a nine-month heating season. Infrared panels with smart thermostats address all three.
