Bromic makes some of the best-built patio heaters you can buy in Canada, but the range takes a minute to sort out. Gas or electric? Tungsten or Platinum? Wall-mount, ceiling, or portable?

Start with two questions

Before you look at a single model, answer these:

1. Gas or electric? Gas puts out the most heat and works best on open, breezy patios with a fixed gas line or a propane tank. Electric is cleaner, quieter, and better for covered patios, pergolas, and low-clearance ceilings where you have 240V power. Full breakdown here: Gas or Electric Patio Heaters?

2. Fixed or portable? Wall and ceiling mounts give you a permanent, tidy install. Portable units move with the season and store away in summer.

That covers most of the decision. Now the families. All of these are radiant heaters, sometimes searched as Bromic radiant heaters or patio heat lamps, meaning they warm people and objects directly, not the air, so the wind doesn't carry your heat away.

Controls: the Bromic heater controller range

Every fixed Bromic heater can be run from a wall plate or the Bromic app with an Affinity controller: on, off, dim, schedule, and zone. A Bromic heater controller is where the running-cost savings come from, you heat only the areas with people in them instead of running everything all night.

What will it cost to run?

Running cost depends on fuel type and your province's power rates. Electric costs swing a lot across Canada, cheap in Quebec and Manitoba, pricier in Alberta. Natural gas is usually the lowest ongoing cost where you have a line. Province-by-province numbers here: Gas or Electric Patio Heaters?

Frequently asked questions

Are Bromic heaters good for Canadian winters?

Yes. They're radiant heaters, so they warm people and surfaces directly instead of heating the air, which is exactly what you want outdoors in cold, breezy conditions. Gas models push the most heat for open patios; electric models suit covered spaces. They extend your patio through spring, fall, and mild-winter days across Canada.

What's the difference between Bromic Tungsten and Platinum?

Both come in gas and electric and put out similar heat. The Platinum is the premium look, a ceramic glass face and slimmer housing for installs where the heater is on display. The Tungsten is the straightforward workhorse at a lower price. Same performance family, different finish.

How much does it cost to run a Bromic heater?

It depends on fuel and your province. Electric runs from roughly $19 to $62 a month in Canada for a 6,000W heater used about 40 hours a month, depending on local power rates. Natural gas is usually cheaper where you have a line. See the full provincial table in our Gas or Electric guide.

Can I control a Bromic heater from my phone?

Yes. With an Affinity controller you run any fixed Bromic heater from a wall plate or the Bromic app: on, off, dim, schedule, and zone multiple heaters. It's how you cut running costs by heating only where people are.

Gas or electric Bromic, which is better?

Neither is better, it depends on your space. Open, breezy patio with a gas line or propane? Go gas for maximum heat. Covered patio or pergola with 240V power? Go electric for clean, quiet, controllable heat. We walk through it fully here.
