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.
Infrared Heating for Barnet Homes | North London Heating Specialists
Barnet is the largest London borough by population, stretching from Hampstead Garden Suburb and Golders Green up through Finchley, Mill Hill and Edgware to High Barnet on the M25. Barnet Council manages around 10,000 council homes and has prioritised energy retrofit through its Sustainability Strategy. The borough's Edwardian and 1930s housing stock - particularly around Finchley Central, Hendon and Hampstead Garden Suburb - sits inside one of England's most tightly protected conservation areas, where flue penetrations and external boiler upgrades are routinely refused. Add in the borough's large family homes around Totteridge and Mill Hill, and per-room thermostatted heating starts to look very attractive. PoweRad's Barnet installers fit ceiling-mounted infrared panels across N2, N3, N11, N12, N14, N20, NW4, NW7, NW11, EN4 and EN5.
Hampstead Garden Suburb's conservation rules and Totteridge's large family homes both benefit from heating that fits flush to the ceiling, with per-room thermostats to avoid heating empty rooms.

London has 3,556,000 households with diverse heating needs. With average winter temperatures of 4.2°C, electric heating systems provide reliable, efficient warmth for homes across the city.
Imagine a 12-flat apartment building in London switching from communal gas heating to individual electric panel systems. Each resident gains independent temperature control - no more disputes over heating schedules. With London's average monthly energy bills of £145, residents typically see 30-40% savings through zone control.
A typical London family home - perhaps a victorian terraces built around 1943. Electric heating systems replace the ageing gas boiler with slim wall panels in each room. With London's average EPC rating of D, homeowners often improve by 1-2 grades.
London's Georgian townhouses present unique heating challenges - high ceilings, solid walls, and often no gas connection. Electric radiant panels mount discreetly to ceilings, providing instant warmth without disturbing period features. Perfect for addressing high energy costs in period properties.
With 12% of London housing being new builds, developers increasingly specify electric heating to meet Building Regulations Part L. No gas connection reduces build costs. Electric heating meets Future Homes Standard efficiency requirements, which come into full effect from 2026-2027.
With 24% of London housing being social housing, councils and housing associations increasingly choose electric heating for upgrades. Zero maintenance reduces long-term costs. Tenants benefit from individual room control and lower bills.
11% of London area properties lack mains gas. Electric heating replaces expensive oil or LPG systems. Combined with solar panels, homeowners can generate their own heat - reducing reliance on delivered fuel.

Understanding Barnet's unique climate, property landscape, and energy profile
Barnet is the highest London borough by elevation - High Barnet sits at over 130m and routinely records snow when central London sees rain. The northern fringe at Arkley and Totteridge runs colder still, and the heating season for the older homes around Hadley Green and Monken Hadley regularly extends into late April. The lower Edgware and Burnt Oak wards on the Silk Stream flood plain run damper.
EN5, NW4, NW7 and N11–N20 housing is dominated by interwar semis along the Northern line ribbon (Mill Hill, Hendon, Finchley, Whetstone), the Hampstead Garden Suburb conservation area (one of the most tightly controlled in the UK), and the post-war Grahame Park estate at Colindale (currently mid-regeneration). The London Borough of Barnet is one of London's largest by population and has been building thousands of new homes at Colindale and Brent Cross - all to all-electric specifications.
Mains gas reaches almost all Barnet homes, but the Brent Cross Town and Colindale regenerations are all-electric in line with the GLA's planning policy, which means Barnet now has one of London's largest pipelines of households moving onto electric heating from day one. Barnet Council's Sustainability Strategy targets a 2030 net-zero council estate.
Barnet's defining heating problems are the Hampstead Garden Suburb conservation regime (where any visible external alteration is essentially refused), the Grahame Park / Colindale regeneration where leaseholders bridge from old gas towers to new all-electric blocks, and the borough's very large multi-generational Edgware and Hendon households where each family unit genuinely needs independent heating control. Infrared panels resolve all three.
