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.
York's YO-postcode area is dominated by the listed medieval core within the city walls - the Shambles, Stonegate and the Minster precinct - plus the Victorian terraces of Bishopthorpe Road and the modern estates at Heworth and Huntington. City of York Council enforces some of the strictest conservation rules in England, and large parts of the central area sit within the Ouse and Foss flood-risk corridor. North-Yorkshire winters here average around 3.5°C and the city's river-valley location brings persistent morning damp and fog. PoweRad's York installers fit ceiling-mounted infrared panels across YO1 to YO10, with particular experience in listed properties within the walls, university lets in Heslington and the modern apartments by the river. The panels need no external flue and no visible alteration to historic façades.
PoweRad fits ceiling-mounted infrared panels across York and nearby areas including Leeds, Hull 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 York, North Yorkshire.
Around 77,440 homes in York still heat with gas, with energy bills averaging £136 a month. A thermostat in every room means you stop paying to heat empty space, with model-based savings of up to 40% against an ageing gas system, and more against storage heaters or oil. See how we calculate savings
Plenty of York 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 York's unique climate, property landscape, and energy profile
York sits at the confluence of the Ouse and the Foss, and large parts of the city centre are within active Environment Agency flood-risk zones - the city has flooded repeatedly, most notably in 2000 and 2015. January averages around 3.5°C are commonly accompanied by persistent valley fog through autumn and winter.
The YO-postcodes are dominated by the listed medieval core within the city walls (the Shambles, Stonegate, the Minster precinct), the Victorian terraces of Bishopthorpe Road and South Bank, and the modern estates at Heworth and Huntington. City of York Council enforces some of the strictest conservation rules in England across the walled city.
Most YO-postcode homes are on mains gas, but the listed flats above shops on Stonegate and the Shambles are largely electric because flues are not permitted on the historic frontages. City of York Council's Climate Change Strategy targets a 2030 net-zero council estate.
The defining York heating problems are listed-building consent across the walled city, the Ouse and Foss flood-risk corridor, and HMO billing in the Heslington student-let market around the University of York. Ceiling-mounted infrared addresses all three.
