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.
Leicester's LE-postcode area covers everything from the Victorian terraces of Highfields and Clarendon Park to the post-war estates of Beaumont Leys and the modern apartments along the Waterside. Leicester City Council operates one of the UK's largest local authority housing stocks and has set a target of net-zero by 2030, with a clear focus on retrofitting EPC-poor homes. East Midlands winters average around 3°C in January and a heating season close to seven months, so reliable, controllable warmth matters. PoweRad's Leicester installers cover LE1 through LE9, retrofitting ceiling-mounted infrared panels into family terraces, HMO student lets near De Montfort University and listed properties around the New Walk conservation area. There's no gas, no flue and no chimney needed - and each room is individually thermostatted.
PoweRad fits ceiling-mounted infrared panels across Leicester and nearby areas including Nottingham, 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 Leicester, Leicestershire.
The numbers for Leicester: 142,000 households, 93% on gas, average energy bills of £136 a month.

See how we calculate savings
Plenty of Leicester 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 Leicester's unique climate, property landscape, and energy profile
Leicester sits in a relatively sheltered East Midlands basin, with January averages around 3°C and a heating season close to seven months. The Soar valley brings persistent morning damp through autumn and early winter, particularly noticeable in the lower-lying terraces of Aylestone and Belgrave.
The LE-postcodes mix Victorian terraces in Highfields and Clarendon Park, post-war estates in Beaumont Leys and Eyres Monsell, and the new-build apartments along the Waterside regeneration corridor. Leicester has one of England's largest local-authority housing stocks per head, and Leicester City Council's Stock Investment Programme has been steadily upgrading the worst-performing properties.
Leicester City Council's net-zero target is 2030 - among the most ambitious in England - and the city was an early Energy Local pilot. Most LE-postcode homes are on mains gas, with electric heating concentrated in the De Montfort University student-let belt and a handful of city-centre conversions.
The recurring Leicester heating problems are HMO billing fairness around De Montfort and the University of Leicester, listed-building constraints around the New Walk conservation area, and the chronic condensation issues in cold-bridged solid-wall terraces in Highfields. Independent panel control fixes the billing problem outright.
