When it comes to premium outdoor patio heaters, Bromic Heating and Infratech are two of the most recognized brands. Both offer high-quality electric and gas heating solutions for residential patios, restaurants, hotels, and commercial spaces. But they take different approaches to design, technology, and pricing.

In this comparison, we break down the key differences to help you decide which brand is right for your outdoor space.

Electric Heater Comparison

Both brands excel in electric patio heating, but they cater to different priorities:

Bromic Electric Heaters

Bromic offers several electric lines: the Platinum (premium, low-profile), the Tungsten (industrial-modern), the Eclipse (portable, design-forward), and the Cobalt (budget-friendly entry point). Wattage ranges from 2,300W to 4,500W.

• Standout feature: Sleek, architectural design that blends into upscale outdoor spaces
• Smart-Heat wireless control available across most models — control from your phone or wall switch
• Marine-grade models available for coastal and high-humidity installations ($3,600-$5,700)
• Eclipse series offers unique portable options with dimmer control

Infratech Electric Heaters

Infratech focuses exclusively on electric infrared heating with their W-Series (standard), WD-Series (dual element), C-Series (commercial), and SL-Series (slim line). Wattage ranges from 1,500W to 6,000W.

• Standout feature: Wide range of wattages and sizes, from 24" to 61" models
• Color options: Available in multiple housing colors (black, stainless, bronze, white, etc.)
• Flush-mount and recessed options for clean architectural integration
• Made in the USA with a focus on commercial-grade durability

Gas Heater Comparison

Bromic wins by default here — Infratech does not manufacture gas heaters. If you need a natural gas or propane patio heater, Bromic is the choice between these two brands.

Bromic's gas lineup includes:

• Tungsten 300 Series — 19" compact gas heater ($1,775)
• Tungsten 500 Series — 25" mid-size gas heater ($2,026)
• Tungsten Portable — 27" portable gas heater ($2,360)
• Platinum 300 Series — 22" premium gas heater ($2,298)
• Platinum 500 Series — 29" premium gas heater ($2,580)

Design and Aesthetics

Bromic places a heavier emphasis on industrial design. Their heaters are meant to be seen — the Platinum series features a slim, glossy profile, and the Eclipse is a genuine design piece. If aesthetics are a top priority (hotels, upscale restaurants, designer patios), Bromic often wins on looks.

Infratech takes a more utilitarian approach. Their heaters are designed to blend in or disappear — flush-mount and recessed options let you integrate them into ceilings and soffits. If you want the heater to be invisible, Infratech's recessed mounting options are hard to beat.

Smart Controls

Bromic: Smart-Heat wireless technology allows control via smartphone app, wall-mounted controllers, or remote. Available as an add-on for most models.

Infratech: Offers a range of control options including solid-state controls, timer controls, dual and single input controls, and home automation integration. Their controls tend to be more straightforward and commercial-focused.

When to Choose Bromic

• You need gas heating (Infratech does not offer gas)
• Design and aesthetics are a top priority
• You want portable options (Eclipse, Tungsten Portable)
• You need marine-grade heaters for coastal environments
• You want integrated smartphone control via Smart-Heat

When to Choose Infratech

• You need high-wattage electric heating (up to 6,000W)
• You want flush-mount or recessed installation
• Budget is a primary concern (lower entry price for comparable wattage)
• You prefer Made in USA products
• You need a wide range of housing color options

Price Comparison

Category	Bromic	Infratech
Entry-level electric	Cobalt 4000W — $568	W-Series 1500W — ~$400
Mid-range electric	Tungsten 4000W — $929	W-Series 3000W — ~$600
Premium electric	Platinum 3400W — $2,130	SL-Series 3000W — ~$1,200
Gas heaters	$1,775 - $2,580	Not available

In general, Infratech offers more competitive pricing at comparable wattages. Bromic commands a premium for design and Smart-Heat technology.

The Bottom Line

Choose Bromic if you value design-forward aesthetics, need gas heating options, want portable solutions, or require marine-grade durability. Bromic heaters are investment pieces that double as design elements.

Choose Infratech if you prioritize value, need high wattage, want recessed/invisible mounting, or are outfitting a commercial space where performance per dollar matters most.

Both brands produce excellent outdoor heaters that will last for years. The right choice depends on your priorities: design vs. value, gas vs. electric-only, visible statement vs. invisible integration.
