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.
Infrared Heating for Croydon Homes | South London Heating Specialists
Croydon spans from Crystal Palace and South Norwood down through East Croydon, Boxpark and the regenerating town centre to Purley, Coulsdon and the Whitgift estate. Croydon Council declared a climate emergency in 2019 and has prioritised retrofit of its 13,000-strong council housing stock, much of which sits at EPC D or below across CR0, CR2, CR7, CR9, SE19 and SE25. Thornton Heath and Selhurst still contain large numbers of pre-1919 terraces that struggle with damp on solid external walls, and the new high-rise apartments around East Croydon were built all-electric. PoweRad's Croydon installers fit ceiling-mounted infrared panels across the borough - same-week surveys, individual room thermostats for HMO landlords, and a 10-year panel warranty with no annual gas check.

Imagine a 12-flat apartment building in London switching from communal gas heating to individual electric panel systems. Each resident gains independent temperature control - no more disputes over heating schedules. With London's average monthly energy bills of £145, residents typically see 30-40% savings through zone control.
A typical London family home - perhaps a victorian terraces built around 1943. Electric heating systems replace the ageing gas boiler with slim wall panels in each room. With London's average EPC rating of D, homeowners often improve by 1-2 grades.
London's Georgian townhouses present unique heating challenges - high ceilings, solid walls, and often no gas connection. Electric radiant panels mount discreetly to ceilings, providing instant warmth without disturbing period features. Perfect for addressing high energy costs in period properties.
With 12% of London housing being new builds, developers increasingly specify electric heating to meet Building Regulations Part L. No gas connection reduces build costs. Electric heating meets Future Homes Standard efficiency requirements, which come into full effect from 2026-2027.
With 24% of London housing being social housing, councils and housing associations increasingly choose electric heating for upgrades. Zero maintenance reduces long-term costs. Tenants benefit from individual room control and lower bills.
11% of London area properties lack mains gas. Electric heating replaces expensive oil or LPG systems. Combined with solar panels, homeowners can generate their own heat - reducing reliance on delivered fuel.

Understanding Croydon's unique climate, property landscape, and energy profile
Croydon sits on the chalk dip-slope of the North Downs, and the southern wards (Coulsdon, Sanderstead, Selsdon) routinely run a degree colder on a January morning than central Croydon down at East Croydon station. The CR-postcodes catch the prevailing south-westerlies coming up over the downs, which keeps the heating season closer to seven and a half months for the older homes around Park Hill and Addiscombe.
Croydon is essentially three housing markets stitched together: the post-war and 1960s tower stock around the Whitgift / Wellesley Road regeneration corridor, the interwar semis of Shirley, Addiscombe and Selhurst, and the mock-Tudor garden suburb of Webb Estate in Purley. The London Borough of Croydon is the largest London council landlord by units, and a meaningful share of those units are in tower blocks where lifting floors for new pipework is impractical - exactly where surface-mounted infrared panels fit cleanly.
Most CR-postcode homes are on mains gas, but Croydon's tower stock - including the well-known cluster around Wellesley Road and the New Addington high-rises - is heavily reliant on electric heating. The council's Croydon Climate Crisis Commission set a 2030 carbon-neutral target for the borough, and Croydon Council's HRA retrofit programme has been actively trialling electric replacements where gas risers are at end of life.
Croydon's distinctive heating problems are the ageing storage heaters in the Wellesley Road and New Addington high-rises, leaseholder-flat conversions in the Edwardian villas of South Croydon where freeholders refuse new external flues, and the borough's well-documented damp-and-mould casework against social landlords. Radiant infrared warms wall surfaces directly, which is the practical answer to mould-prone solid-wall flats.
