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.
Plymouth's PL-postcodes wrap around the Tamar and the Sound, mixing Victorian terraces in Stoke and Mutley with post-war rebuild housing in the city centre and the modern waterfront apartments at Royal William Yard. Plymouth City Council has prioritised retrofitting older private-sector housing through its Plan for Homes, and the city's coastal Devon climate - averaging 6°C in winter but with over 1,000mm of annual rain and salt-laden air - is hard on traditional gas boilers. PoweRad's Plymouth installers fit ceiling-mounted infrared panels across PL1 to PL9, with particular experience in flats above shops on Mutley Plain and listed naval properties around Stonehouse. The panels are sealed and corrosion-resistant, so coastal humidity doesn't shorten their working life.
PoweRad fits ceiling-mounted infrared panels across Plymouth and nearby areas including Bristol, Cardiff and London. 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 Plymouth, Devon.
84% of Plymouth's 118,000 households heat with gas, and the average energy bill runs about £124 a month. Replacing an ageing gas system with room-by-room infrared panels can cut heating costs by up to 40%, and a free remote heat-loss survey shows your like-for-like numbers before you spend a penny. See how we calculate savings
Plenty of Plymouth 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 Plymouth's unique climate, property landscape, and energy profile
Plymouth's south Devon coastal position gives it some of the mildest winters of any UK city - averages around 6°C - but more than 1,000mm of annual rainfall and persistent salt-laden Atlantic air. Salt corrosion is genuinely punishing on external boiler casings and condenser-flue assemblies near the Hoe and the seafront.
The PL-postcodes wrap the Tamar estuary and Plymouth Sound, mixing Victorian terraces in Stoke and Mutley, post-war rebuild housing in the city centre (much of it replacing Blitz losses), and the modern waterfront apartments at Royal William Yard and Millbay. The Stonehouse naval housing is largely listed and presents the same external-alteration restrictions as Royal William Yard.
Most Plymouth homes are on mains gas, but the city has flagged electric heating retrofits as a priority through its Plan for Homes, particularly in the older private-rented stock. Solar PV uptake in PL-postcodes is high, and infrared panels pair naturally with PV to capture more self-consumption.
The two recurring Plymouth heating problems are salt corrosion on coastal-exposed gas appliances (Hoe, Devil's Point, Royal William Yard) and listed-building restrictions across the naval Stonehouse conservation area. Sealed ceiling-mounted infrared panels are unaffected by salt air and need no external alteration.
