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.
From Kensington stucco terraces to converted warehouses around Hackney Wick, London's housing stock is unusually mixed and stubbornly hard to heat. Many flats inside the 32 boroughs sit on shared gas systems or rely on ageing storage heaters, and Greater London Authority data shows winter temperatures routinely sit around 4–5°C from December through February. With Ofgem's January 2026 price cap pushing the average London household bill towards £1,950 a year, more owners are looking for fixed-price, panel-by-panel control. PoweRad's London installers are familiar with conservation-area constraints across boroughs like Camden, Wandsworth and Islington, and our ceiling-mounted infrared panels need no flue, no pipework and no annual gas safety check - making them practical for leaseholders, listed buildings and tower-block flats alike.
PoweRad fits ceiling-mounted infrared panels across London and nearby areas including Coventry, Leicester and Bristol. 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 London, Greater London.
London households pay around £145 a month in energy bills on average. Because infrared heats rooms individually rather than the whole house at once, replacing an ageing gas system can save up to 40% on heating costs, and swapping out storage heaters or oil saves more. See how we calculate savings
Plenty of London 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.
See how PowerBoard's advanced infrared technology solves the most common heating challenges faced by London properties.
Victorian and Edwardian properties in London often have poor insulation, leading to excessive heating bills.

Understanding London's unique climate, property landscape, and energy profile
London sits in its own urban heat island, so the centre runs roughly a degree warmer than the surrounding home counties on a still January night - but exposed Thames-side flats in Greenwich and Battersea feel the wind chill far more than the GLA's headline 4–5°C average suggests. South-facing Edwardian terraces in Tooting and Walthamstow can overheat in shoulder seasons and then under-heat in February, which is exactly the case for room-by-room control rather than a single boiler thermostat trying to manage 30+ very different rooms.
There is no single 'London home'. Within a five-minute walk of any tube station you'll find Georgian stucco, Victorian by-law terraces, 1930s semis, brutalist tower blocks and ex-warehouse loft conversions. Roughly half of Greater London's homes are flats - far higher than the UK average - and a significant share are leasehold, which is where ducted gas combis become awkward. Ceiling-mounted infrared panels are leaseholder-friendly: nothing penetrates the external wall, no flue, and the install needs no consent from the freeholder beyond standard electrical works.
Most of London is on mains gas, but that hides a long tail of pre-war mansion blocks running on shared electric storage heaters and ex-LCC estates with no gas riser at all. Ofgem's January 2026 price cap puts the typical London household bill close to £1,950, and the Mayor's Warmer Homes programme is actively funding electric retrofit. Pairing infrared panels with the rooftop solar that's now standard on new-build London flats lets households offset a meaningful slice of evening-peak grid import.
The hardest London heating problems are leasehold flat conversions where the freeholder will not allow new gas runs, listed terraces in Kensington and Hampstead where flues can't penetrate the façade, and tower-block flats where the original Heating-By-District system has been switched off. Infrared panels solve all three: no flue, no shared plant, no annual gas safety certificate to chase across 400 leaseholders.
