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.
Swansea's SA-postcode area runs from the Edwardian terraces of Uplands and Brynmill through the seafront apartments of Mumbles to the new-build estates of Llansamlet. Swansea Council is rolling out one of Wales's most ambitious decarbonisation programmes, with a Climate Emergency Charter targeting net-zero across council operations by 2030. South-Wales winters here average around 5°C but bring more than 1,200mm of rain a year, so damp and condensation in older terraces is a familiar headache. PoweRad's Swansea installers cover SA1 to SA8, fitting ceiling-mounted infrared panels that warm wall and ceiling surfaces directly - the most effective way to keep solid-wall properties dry. There's no gas, no flue and no annual gas safety inspection, which suits Mumbles holiday lets particularly well.
PoweRad fits ceiling-mounted infrared panels across Swansea and nearby areas including Cardiff, Llanelli and Bristol. 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 Swansea, Swansea.
Around 93,960 homes in Swansea still heat with gas, with energy bills averaging £129 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 Swansea 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 Swansea's unique climate, property landscape, and energy profile
Swansea sits on Swansea Bay with the Gower peninsula to the west, and the prevailing south-westerly weather pattern brings more than 1,200mm of annual rainfall - among the wettest of any UK city. Winter averages of around 5°C are mild, but persistent damp on cold-bridged solid walls is the dominant heating-comfort issue.
The SA-postcodes mix Edwardian terraces in Uplands and Brynmill (where most of Swansea University's students rent), the seafront apartments and converted villas of Mumbles, and the new-build estates of Llansamlet and Penllergaer. The Mumbles holiday-let market is unusual in Welsh terms and creates demand for remotely controllable heating.
Swansea Council's Climate Emergency Charter targets carbon neutrality across council operations by 2030, and Wales's 2025 new-build gas ban has accelerated interest in electric-only heating retrofits. Most SA-postcode homes are on mains gas but the holiday-let stock skews electric.
The defining Swansea heating problems are persistent damp in solid-wall Uplands terraces, holiday-let control in Mumbles (where landlords need to heat the property for arrival but not for the empty days between), and the very large student-let market around the Singleton campus. Infrared panels with smart thermostats answer all three.
