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.
Ipswich's IP-postcode area mixes the Tudor and Victorian fabric of the historic centre with the post-war estates of Whitehouse and Castle Hill, plus the new-build waterfront apartments around the marina. Ipswich Borough Council is one of Suffolk's largest social landlords and has been steadily upgrading heating in its EPC D and E stock. East-Anglian winters here are dry but cold, averaging around 3.5°C in January with relatively low rainfall, so frost on cold-bridged external walls is the bigger condensation risk than airborne damp. PoweRad's Ipswich installers fit ceiling-mounted infrared panels across IP1 to IP4, working with private landlords on HMO retrofits, owner-occupiers in Westerfield and waterside flats - all without lifting flooring or chasing pipework into solid walls.
PoweRad fits ceiling-mounted infrared panels across Ipswich and nearby areas including Norwich, Cambridge and Colchester. 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 Ipswich, Suffolk.
Ipswich's heating picture: 60,000 homes, average energy bills of £126 a month, 91% heated by gas. Infrared with room-by-room thermostats cuts waste at the source. See the running costs guide below for the full comparison. See how we calculate savings
Plenty of Ipswich 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 Ipswich's unique climate, property landscape, and energy profile
Ipswich's east-coast Suffolk position gives it cold, dry winters - January averages around 3.5°C with relatively low rainfall but sharp ground frost on clear nights. The dry cold means cold-bridge frost on solid-wall housing is more pronounced than humidity-driven damp.
The IP-postcodes mix the Tudor and Victorian fabric of the historic centre, post-war estates in Whitehouse and Castle Hill, the modern waterfront apartments around the Wet Dock and the Salthouse Harbour, and the suburban housing of Westerfield and Rushmere. Ipswich Borough Council is one of Suffolk's largest social landlords.
Most Ipswich homes heat with mains gas, but the waterfront apartment stock is largely all-electric. For those flats, and for the town's EPC D and E terraces, ceiling-mounted infrared panels offer a heating upgrade with no pipework, no flue and no annual boiler service.
The recurring Ipswich heating problems are cold-bridge frost in solid-wall Victorian terraces, HMO billing in the private-rented stock, and listed-building constraints across the historic core. Ceiling-mounted infrared addresses all three without lifting flooring.
