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.
Southampton's SO-postcode area mixes the Victorian terraces of Bevois Valley and Portswood with the post-war estates of Thornhill and Weston, and the modern apartments around Ocean Village and the Cultural Quarter. Southampton City Council has been one of the most active English authorities on district-heating expansion, but the bulk of SO-postcode housing still relies on individual gas combis or storage heaters. Hampshire coastal winters average around 5.5°C and the Solent brings persistent salt-laden air that's hard on traditional metal radiators. PoweRad's Southampton installers fit ceiling-mounted infrared panels across SO14 to SO19, with particular experience in HMO conversions near the universities, family homes in Bitterne and modern waterside flats. The sealed panels are corrosion-resistant in coastal conditions.
PoweRad fits ceiling-mounted infrared panels across Southampton and nearby areas including Portsmouth, Bournemouth and Winchester. 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 Southampton, Hampshire.
Around 92,560 homes in Southampton still heat with gas, with energy bills averaging £130 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 Southampton 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 Southampton's unique climate, property landscape, and energy profile
Southampton's Solent location gives it relatively mild winters (averages around 5.5°C) but persistent salt-laden coastal air. The Itchen and Test estuaries bring morning fog through autumn and winter, and the city's docks expose seafront properties to the full force of Channel weather.
The SO-postcodes mix Victorian terraces in Bevois Valley and Portswood (where most of the University of Southampton's HMO market sits), post-war estates in Thornhill and Weston, and the modern apartments around Ocean Village, Cultural Quarter and the Royal Pier waterfront. Southampton City Council has been active on district-heating expansion in the city centre.
Southampton operates one of England's longest-established municipal district-heating networks, primarily serving the city-centre commercial estate and a handful of social-housing blocks. Outside that footprint, most SO-postcode homes are on individual gas combis.
The defining Southampton heating problems are salt corrosion on coastal-exposed gas appliances, HMO billing in the Portswood and Highfield student-let market, and listed-building constraints in the Old Town and around Ocean Village. Sealed infrared addresses all three.
