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.
Leeds covers a huge urban footprint, from the back-to-back terraces of Harehills and Beeston to the converted mills of Holbeck and the new-build city-centre apartments around Granary Wharf. Leeds City Council manages roughly 54,000 council homes, many of which were built before modern insulation standards and sit at EPC D. West Yorkshire averages 5°C in December and gets close to 1,100mm of rain a year, so heating typically runs October to late April. PoweRad's Leeds installers cover LS1 through to LS28, fitting ceiling-mounted infrared panels in everything from Headingley student lets to family homes in Roundhay. There's no pipework, no flue and no annual gas inspection, which makes the system particularly popular with HMO landlords and leaseholders in the city centre.
PoweRad fits ceiling-mounted infrared panels across Leeds and nearby areas including Bradford, Sheffield and Manchester. 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 Leeds, West Yorkshire.
Leeds households pay around £138 a month in energy bills on average. Because infrared heats rooms individually rather than the whole house at once, you only pay for the rooms you are in. Gas is cheaper per unit, so we show you the comparison with your own figures rather than a headline percentage. See how we calculate savings
Plenty of Leeds 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 Leeds's unique climate, property landscape, and energy profile
Leeds sits in the Aire valley with the Pennines rising sharply to the west, and Met Office data puts winter averages around 4–5°C with sharp cold pockets in higher suburbs like Cookridge and Adel. Annual rainfall close to 1,100mm is concentrated in the autumn and early winter, which keeps the heating season longer than the headline numbers suggest - running effectively from early October to late April for most family homes.
Leeds' LS-postcodes contain one of England's highest concentrations of pre-1919 back-to-back terraced housing, particularly in Harehills, Beeston and Holbeck. The city centre's mill conversions (Holbeck, Granary Wharf) and the new-build student towers around the universities are essentially all-electric. Leeds City Council manages around 54,000 homes and has been steadily upgrading the worst-performing stock - infrared panels are now an approved option in its retrofit framework for properties without gas.
Most Leeds homes are on mains gas, but the city's mill conversions and student-block stock skew heavily electric. The West Yorkshire Combined Authority's Better Homes Hub is funding heating retrofits with a strong push on insulation-first measures, and infrared panels pair particularly well with that order of works because their performance scales directly with how well the room holds heat.
Headingley HMO landlords need each tenant to control and pay for their own heat - gas central heating cannot do that - and Holbeck mill conversions cannot route flues through external listed brickwork. Both push owners towards infrared. The third recurring issue is council-managed back-to-backs in Harehills where insulation has been added but the heating hasn't been upgraded to match.
