Bromic Heating

Bromic heaters can be worth the investment for homeowners and businesses looking for a permanent, design-focused outdoor heating system. Bromic uses infrared radiant heat to warm people, furniture, and surrounding surfaces directly instead of relying on heated air that can quickly escape from an outdoor space. Their value is especially noticeable on patios that are used frequently and where appearance, targeted heat coverage, mounting flexibility, and control options are important. For an occasionally used patio or a customer primarily concerned with initial cost, a basic portable heater may be a more economical choice.

The number of Bromic heaters needed depends on more than the patio’s total square footage. Important factors include the dimensions and layout of the occupied area, ceiling height, mounting position, wind exposure, the amount of enclosure, the heater model, and the desired comfort level. Heaters should generally be positioned to provide overlapping heat coverage across seating, dining, or entertaining areas rather than attempting to heat every square foot of the patio. Each model has a published heating area, but a professional layout is recommended for larger or unusually shaped spaces.

The primary differences between Bromic Platinum and Tungsten heaters are their appearance, available heat outputs, and intended applications. Bromic Platinum heaters have a slim, modern design with a tinted ceramic-glass front that helps reduce visible light from the heating element. Platinum Electric models are well suited for design-focused and lower-clearance installations and are available in 2300W, 3400W, and 4500W outputs. Bromic Tungsten heaters have a more rugged, industrial appearance with a distinctive honeycomb mesh front. Tungsten Electric models are available in a broader range of outputs 2000W, 3000W, 4000W, and 6000W making the collection a strong option for larger or more exposed outdoor areas. Both collections include gas and electric options, although available mounting methods and accessories vary by model.

Yes. Bromic infrared heaters are designed to perform in outdoor environments, including breezy conditions. Instead of primarily heating the surrounding air, infrared radiant heat warms people and surfaces directly. This helps reduce the amount of warmth lost as air moves through an open patio. Performance can still be affected by strong winds, incorrect mounting height, or poor heater placement. Electric models are generally less affected by wind than gas models, while individual gas heaters may have specific wind-resistance ratings. Proper model selection and placement are important for achieving consistent comfort.

Bromic heater controls are generally sold separately and are not included with the heater. A compatible method of switching the heater on and off must be selected as part of the installation. Depending on the heater model and the desired features, control options may include a manual wall switch, an Affinity on/off controller, or an Affinity dimmer controller. Advanced Affinity controls can provide app operation, heating zones, timers, schedules, and connectivity options. The appropriate control depends on the heater type, voltage, wattage, number of heaters, and whether independent zone or heat-level control is required. The heater and control system should be selected and installed by a qualified professional according to the installation manuals and applicable electrical or gas codes.
