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.
Winchester is one of England's most planning-sensitive cities, with Winchester City Council enforcing strict conservation rules across the Cathedral precinct, the medieval High Street and the listed terraces of St Cross. SO22 and SO23 housing ranges from timber-framed merchant properties to Victorian villas in Stanmore and modern estates at Badger Farm. Hampshire winters here average around 4°C and the city's chalk-stream valley location brings persistent morning damp. PoweRad's Winchester installers fit ceiling-mounted infrared panels across SO22 and SO23, with particular experience in listed properties near the Cathedral, family homes in Stanmore and the modern apartments at Barton Farm. Each install needs no external flue, no condensate pipe and no visible alteration - important within the city's tight conservation-area boundaries.
PoweRad fits ceiling-mounted infrared panels across Winchester and nearby areas including Southampton, Portsmouth and Salisbury. 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 Winchester, Hampshire.
Winchester households pay around £148 a month in energy bills on average. Because infrared heats rooms individually rather than the whole house at once, replacing an ageing gas system can save up to 40% on heating costs, and swapping out storage heaters or oil saves more. See how we calculate savings
Plenty of Winchester 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 Winchester's unique climate, property landscape, and energy profile
Winchester sits in the chalk-stream Itchen valley, and January averages around 4°C are routinely accompanied by sharp morning frost and persistent valley fog through autumn and winter. The chalk subsoil drains quickly so persistent damp is less of an issue than in the wetter west.
The SO22 / SO23 area is dominated by the listed Cathedral precinct, the medieval High Street, the Georgian and Victorian terraces of St Cross and Stanmore, and the modern estates at Badger Farm and Barton Farm. Winchester City Council enforces some of the strictest conservation controls in southern England across the historic core.
Most Winchester homes are on mains gas, but the listed Cathedral precinct flats and the medieval High Street properties are largely electric because external alterations are not permitted. Winchester City Council's Carbon Neutrality Action Plan targets a 2030 net-zero council estate.
The defining Winchester heating problem is listed-building consent across the Cathedral precinct and the medieval High Street - visible flues, external boilers and condensate pipes are heavily restricted. Ceiling-mounted infrared sits flush to existing plasterwork and is one of the few approved retrofit options.
