Overview
The Bromic Platinum Smart-Heat 3,400W is a slim electric infrared heater designed to disappear into a ceiling, wall or pergola. Infrared heats people and surfaces directly rather than the air, so you feel the warmth in seconds and it is not blown away the way a patio heater's warm air is. At 50.2" long, the 3,400W model suits a medium patio, a dining table for six to eight, or a pergola.
Bromic is an Australian outdoor-heating specialist whose heaters are used in homes, restaurants and hotels. The Platinum line is its design-focused range: a clean, slim rectangle of tinted ceramic glass, available in black or white.
Choosing the Right Wattage
Bromic rates the 2,300W model for about 65 sq. ft., the 3,400W for about 108 sq. ft. and the 4,500W for about 143 sq. ft. This 3,400W model is rated for 108 sq. ft. Heat area figures are Bromic's ratings in ideal, sheltered conditions. Wind, open sides and very cold nights reduce the area a heater can keep comfortable, so for large or exposed patios plan more than one heater.
Mounting and Installation
Minimum floor clearance is 72 inches for wall mounting and 96 inches for ceiling mounting. The heater can be mounted on a wall or ceiling bracket, hung on 2- or 4-foot suspension poles, or recessed flush into the ceiling with Bromic's recess kit, which needs at least 10" of space above the heater (the Low Clearance Recess Kit is available when you have less). It requires a 220-240V circuit drawing 14.2A; have a licensed electrician install it according to local codes.
Smart Controls
Bromic heaters are designed to be controlled with the Affinity Smart-Heat collection (sold separately): the On/Off controller switches one or several heaters, and the Dimmer controller adjusts the heat output from 0 to 100%. A standard manual wall switch also works.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it work on a 120V outlet?
No. These models are 220-240V. Bromic also makes 208V versions for commercial buildings; contact us if you need one.
Can it be used under a covered patio or pergola?
Yes. That is where it works best. Respect the minimum clearances (72" wall, 96" ceiling) and the clearances to combustibles in the installation manual.
How do I choose between Platinum and Tungsten?
Platinum is the slimmer, design-focused heater with a tinted glass face. Tungsten costs less per watt and has an industrial honeycomb look.
