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.
Portsmouth is the most densely populated city in the UK outside London, with PO-postcode terraces packed into Southsea, Eastney and Fratton, plus the modern Gunwharf Quays apartments along the harbour. Portsmouth City Council has prioritised retrofit through its Climate Action Plan, with a focus on the city's solid-wall Victorian housing. Hampshire coastal winters here average around 5.5°C but bring persistent salt-laden Solent air that's hard on external boilers and pipework. PoweRad's Portsmouth installers fit ceiling-mounted infrared panels across PO1 to PO6, with particular experience in flats above shops on Albert Road, family terraces in Southsea and modern apartments around Gunwharf and Port Solent. The sealed panels are corrosion-resistant and need no flue penetration through coastal-exposed external walls.
PoweRad fits ceiling-mounted infrared panels across Portsmouth and nearby areas including Southampton, Brighton and Chichester. 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 Portsmouth, Hampshire.
Around 77,440 homes in Portsmouth still heat with gas, with energy bills averaging £128 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 Portsmouth 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 Portsmouth's unique climate, property landscape, and energy profile
Portsmouth's south-coast island location gives it relatively mild winters (averages around 5.5°C) but persistent salt-laden Solent air. The city is the most densely populated in the UK outside London, and the dense terraces of Fratton and Southsea share party walls that meaningfully reduce heat loss.
The PO-postcodes are dominated by tightly-packed Victorian terraces in Southsea, Eastney, Fratton and North End, plus the modern Gunwharf Quays apartments along the harbour and the listed naval housing in Old Portsmouth. Portsmouth City Council has prioritised solid-wall retrofit through its Climate Action Plan.
Most Portsmouth homes are on mains gas, but the Gunwharf Quays apartment stock is largely all-electric. The city has an unusually high share of HMO conversions in the Southsea student-let market around the University of Portsmouth.
The defining Portsmouth heating problems are salt corrosion on coastal-exposed gas appliances along the seafront and Old Portsmouth, HMO billing in the Southsea student-let market, and listed-building restrictions in the Old Portsmouth conservation area. Sealed infrared addresses all three.
