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.
Nottingham has one of the most varied housing markets in the East Midlands, from the sandstone-cellar terraces of The Park and Sneinton to the post-war estates of Clifton and Bestwood. Nottingham City Council operates a district heating network covering around 4,800 homes, but the rest of the NG-postcode area still relies overwhelmingly on gas combis or old storage heaters. Local Met Office data shows winter averages of around 3.5°C and a heating season close to 7 months, so the system you fit really has to perform. PoweRad's Nottingham installers cover NG1 to NG16, retrofitting ceiling infrared panels into student lets in Lenton, Victorian semis in West Bridgford and modern flats around the Lace Market - usually with a single day of work per room.
PoweRad fits ceiling-mounted infrared panels across Nottingham and nearby areas including Leicester, Sheffield and Birmingham. 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 Nottingham, Nottinghamshire.
94% of Nottingham's 146,000 households heat with gas, and the average energy bill runs about £134 a month. Gas is cheaper per unit than electricity, so the case for infrared rests on heating only the rooms you use, a lower installation cost and no boiler to service. A free remote heat-loss survey shows your like-for-like numbers before you spend a penny. See how we calculate savings
Plenty of Nottingham 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.

Understanding Nottingham's unique climate, property landscape, and energy profile
Nottingham's location on the Trent valley sandstone ridge gives it a slightly drier, slightly warmer climate than the wider East Midlands average - but the river flood plain through the Meadows and Trent Bridge regularly sits in fog through November and December, dropping perceived temperatures noticeably below the official 3.5°C January average.
The NG-postcodes mix the famous sandstone-cellar terraces of The Park Estate (one of the UK's largest gated Victorian developments), the post-war estates of Clifton and Bestwood, the sprawling student-let market around Lenton and Dunkirk, and the modern Lace Market apartments. The city has one of the country's highest concentrations of HMOs as a share of its housing stock, which makes per-room heating control unusually valuable.
Nottingham operates Enviroenergy, one of England's longest-running municipal district-heating networks, currently serving around 4,800 homes and the QMC hospital from the Eastcroft EfW plant. Outside that catchment, NG-postcode homes are dominated by gas combis, with electric heating concentrated in the Lace Market conversions and a handful of city-centre tower blocks.
The defining Nottingham heating problem is the student HMO market in Lenton and Dunkirk, where landlords need each tenant accountable for their own heat or the bills bankrupt the let. The second is sandstone-cellar terraces in The Park, where rising damp meets cold below-ground walls - radiant ceiling heat in the rooms above the cellar is a meaningful intervention.
