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.
Sheffield's seven hills mean almost every postcode has a microclimate of its own - Stannington and Stocksbridge regularly sit a couple of degrees colder than the city centre, and Met Office data puts the wider South Yorkshire winter average at around 3.5°C. Sheffield City Council's housing stock includes a large number of post-war system-built flats, plus the iconic Park Hill estate, where heating retrofits have to respect the listed concrete frame. Add in the steel-city stone terraces of Crookes and Walkley and you get a market that benefits from invisible, ceiling-mounted heat. PoweRad's Sheffield installers work across the S-postcodes from Hillsborough to Dore, and most homes can be retrofitted room-by-room without lifting a single floorboard or chasing a single wall.
PoweRad fits ceiling-mounted infrared panels across Sheffield and nearby areas including Leeds, Manchester and Nottingham. 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 Sheffield, South Yorkshire.
Sheffield's heating picture: 286,000 homes, average energy bills of £141 a month, 95% heated by gas. Infrared with room-by-room thermostats cuts waste at the source, with savings of up to 40% against an ageing gas system. See the running costs guide below for the full comparison. See how we calculate savings
Plenty of Sheffield 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 Sheffield's unique climate, property landscape, and energy profile
Sheffield's seven hills create a microclimate map of their own. Stocksbridge and Stannington can sit two to three degrees colder than the city centre on a January morning, and snow regularly settles on the higher western suburbs while Kelham Island stays clear. The wider South Yorkshire winter average sits around 3.5°C, and with 1,100mm of annual rainfall and a long heating season, anything that lets households heat only the rooms they're using has a meaningful bill impact.
Sheffield's housing is dominated by the steel-city stone terraces of Crookes, Walkley and Nether Edge, the post-war system-built blocks of Park Hill and Kelvin, and the modern apartment stock around Kelham Island. Park Hill's Grade II* listing makes its retrofit unusually constrained - anything visible from the deck or the listed concrete frame is restricted, so internal ceiling-mounted heat is one of the few options that keeps the building's character intact.
Sheffield runs one of the UK's longest-established district-heating networks via Veolia, serving the city centre and parts of Park Hill from the energy-recovery facility at Bernard Road. Outside the network footprint, the bulk of S-postcode homes are on individual gas combis, with electric heating concentrated in the high-rise blocks of the Manor and Norfolk Park estates.
Sheffield's biggest heating problems are listed-building constraints on Park Hill, cold-spot condensation in solid stone terraces in Crookes, and the steep-street access issues that make boiler swap-outs in the older suburbs genuinely awkward. Infrared panels arrive as flat boxes, fit through any standard doorway and need no scaffolding.
