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.
Stoke-on-Trent's six towns - Tunstall, Burslem, Hanley, Stoke, Fenton and Longton - give the city a uniquely scattered housing market, dominated by Victorian potters' terraces and post-war ex-council estates. Stoke-on-Trent City Council has flagged fuel poverty as one of the highest in England, with Staffordshire winters averaging around 3°C and a heating season close to seven months. The legacy of the pottery industry left many homes with very small rooms and tight chimney breasts, where a modern combi and radiator install is genuinely awkward. PoweRad's Stoke installers fit ceiling-mounted infrared panels across ST1 to ST6, which sit flush against the ceiling and free up wall space entirely. There's no flue penetration through external walls, no pipework and no annual gas service.
PoweRad fits ceiling-mounted infrared panels across Stoke-on-Trent and nearby areas including Manchester, Birmingham and Coventry. 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 Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire.
Stoke-on-Trent's heating picture: 112,000 homes, average energy bills of £139 a month, 95% heated by gas. Infrared with room-by-room thermostats cuts waste at the source, with savings of up to 40% against an ageing gas system. See the running costs guide below for the full comparison. See how we calculate savings
Plenty of Stoke-on-Trent 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 Stoke-on-Trent's unique climate, property landscape, and energy profile
Stoke-on-Trent sits in an elevated north-Staffordshire basin, with January averages around 3°C and a heating season close to seven months. The legacy industrial sites and the surrounding moorland edge bring persistent low cloud through the winter, suppressing daytime warming.
The ST-postcodes are unique because Stoke is a federation of six historic towns - Tunstall, Burslem, Hanley, Stoke, Fenton and Longton - each with its own town centre and its own concentration of Victorian potters' terraces. The dominant property type is a small three-up-two-down with a tight chimney breast where modern radiator pipework is awkward to route.
Stoke-on-Trent has one of the highest fuel-poverty rates in England - Stoke-on-Trent City Council and the Healthy Homes service consistently flag this as a major preventable health driver. Most homes are on mains gas, but expanding electric heating coverage in the social-housing stock has been a council priority.
The defining Stoke heating problem is the small-room potter's terrace where every inch of wall space matters and a wall-mounted radiator is effectively a piece of furniture. Ceiling-mounted infrared panels free that wall space entirely - a meaningful comfort improvement in housing where rooms are often under 12m².
