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.
Poole sits within the Bournemouth, Christchurch & Poole unitary authority and is dominated by Sandbanks and Branksome Park villas, harbour-front apartments around the Old Town and post-war estates in Parkstone and Hamworthy. The BH13 to BH17 postcodes have one of the highest concentrations of holiday-let and second-home properties in southern England, often unoccupied for weeks at a time. Dorset winters here average around 6°C - milder than most of the UK - but the salt-laden harbour air is hard on traditional metal radiators. PoweRad's Poole installers fit ceiling-mounted infrared panels across BH13 to BH17, with particular experience in second homes and holiday lets where the heating needs to be controllable remotely and safely left unattended. There's no flue, no pipework and no annual gas safety check.
PoweRad fits ceiling-mounted infrared panels across Poole and nearby areas including Bournemouth, Southampton and Salisbury. With local homes typically rated EPC C, 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 Poole, Dorset.
Around 57,120 homes in Poole still heat with gas, with energy bills averaging £126 a month. A thermostat in every room means you stop paying to heat empty space, with model-based savings of up to 40% against an ageing gas system, and more against storage heaters or oil. See how we calculate savings
Plenty of Poole 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 Poole's unique climate, property landscape, and energy profile
Poole's south-coast position gives it some of the mildest winters of any UK area - averages around 6°C - but the salt-laden Channel air and prevailing south-westerly are hard on external boiler casings, particularly on Sandbanks and along the harbour front.
The BH13–17 area has one of the highest concentrations of holiday-let and second-home properties in southern England - Sandbanks and Branksome Park are particularly notable for high-value second homes that sit empty for weeks at a time. Bournemouth, Christchurch & Poole Council manages the area as a single unitary.
Most Poole homes are on mains gas, but the second-home and holiday-let stock disproportionately has remotely-controllable smart heating. Salt corrosion on external boiler condensers is a recurring maintenance issue along the harbour front.
The defining Poole heating problem is the second-home and holiday-let market - owners need heating that can be left unattended for weeks, controlled remotely from a phone, and trusted not to fail in their absence. Sealed infrared panels with smart thermostats answer all three; salt corrosion is a non-issue.
