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.
Bradford has one of the largest concentrations of pre-1919 terraced housing in northern England, particularly across Manningham, Girlington and Great Horton, plus the listed mill conversions around Salts Mill in Saltaire. Bradford Council estimates over a third of the district's homes are at EPC D or worse, and West Yorkshire winters can sit around 2°C from December through February with regular Pennine rainfall driving damp into solid stone walls. PoweRad's Bradford installers cover BD1 through BD15, retrofitting ceiling-mounted infrared panels that warm room surfaces directly - exactly what solid-wall properties need to combat condensation. Most homes can be retrofitted in a couple of days per floor, with no chasing of walls and no annual gas safety inspection to remember. Each panel is independently thermostatted and silent.
PoweRad fits ceiling-mounted infrared panels across Bradford and nearby areas including Leeds, Manchester and Sheffield. 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 Bradford, West Yorkshire.
The numbers for Bradford: 141,000 households, 91% on gas, average energy bills of £142 a month. Room-by-room infrared control can cut heating costs by up to 40% compared with an ageing gas system, and the free remote survey works out what that means for your home specifically. See how we calculate savings
Plenty of Bradford 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 Bradford's unique climate, property landscape, and energy profile
Bradford sits in a sharp-sided Pennine bowl that traps cold air on still winter nights - January averages of around 2°C across the wider district can sit a couple of degrees colder in the elevated suburbs of Queensbury and Wilsden. Annual rainfall over 1,000mm and persistent moorland mist drive constant damp into the solid stone walls of the city's older terraces.
The BD-postcodes contain one of the largest concentrations of pre-1919 stone terraced housing in England - particularly in Manningham, Girlington, Great Horton and Heaton - plus the listed mill complex at Saltaire (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) where any heating retrofit needs Bradford Council conservation consent.
Most Bradford homes are on mains gas, but Bradford Council estimates over a third of the district sits at EPC D or worse - among the highest shares in northern England. The West Yorkshire Combined Authority's Better Homes Hub is funding retrofits, and infrared panels are particularly effective in the solid-wall housing where insulation is impractical.
The two defining Bradford problems are damp and condensation in solid-stone Manningham and Girlington terraces (where cavity insulation is impossible), and listed-building constraints across the Saltaire conservation area. Radiant ceiling heat addresses the damp by warming the stone surface directly.
