Technirep

Note sur Technirep: Technirep est spécialiste de chauffage infrarouge depuis 1997. Nous offrons gratuitement la conception de solution de chauffage radiant pour les applications résidentielles, restaurants, commerciaux, industriels et institutionnels. Nous aidons les distributeurs électriques, les électriciens, les entrepreneurs en construction et les utilisateurs à réaliser les meilleures installations.

Pour ce faire, nous travaillons exclusivement avec des manufacturiers nord-américains respectant nos standards de qualité élevés.

Afin de réaliser l’ensemble de nos projets, nous travaillons avec les manufacturiers Fostoria et Infratech.

Fostoria

Fostoria se distingue pour sa variété de produit de chauffage radiant pour toutes les applications. Grâce à une multitude d’appareils de chauffage infrarouge à tube quartz, à lampes quartz et à panneau émetteur,  Technirep est en mesure de spécifier et concevoir des solutions de chauffage pour tous les types de projet en passant du projet résidentiel jusqu’aux projets industriels sans oublier les restaurants et les projets commerciaux.

Infratech

Infratech quant à lui est reconnue comme le meilleur choix de chauffe-terrasse pour les terrasses de prestige. Grâce à sa qualité et son esthétisme, Infratech se distingue sur le marché résidentiel avec ses appareils radiants à tube quartz.

Infratech est souvent comparé à Bromic pour les applications résidentielles. Dans cet article, nous comparons les chauffe-terrasses Infratech et Bromic.

Dans l’article présent, nous comparons les deux chauffe-terrasses basé sur les commentaires des utilisateurs ainsi que nos recherches et nous expliquons pourquoi nous avons choisi de travailler avec Infratech il y a une décennie.

Chauffe-terrasses : Infratech vs Bromic

Lorsqu’il est temps de choisir un modèle de chauffe-terrasse pour sa terrasse résidentielle, il n’est pas rare que la question Infratech ou Bromic se pose. Les deux chauffe-terrasses sont disponibles jusqu’à 6 000W et les deux ont un look similaire qui est beaucoup plus esthétique pour les terrasses résidentielles que les alternatives au propane et beaucoup plus efficaces que les options de type « quincaillerie » .

Infratech

Infratech patio heaters are made in the USA directly from stainless steel also produced in the USA. Infratech specializes exclusively in electric radiant heating, mainly in its comfort division.

Bromic

Bromic patio heaters are made in Australia. The Bromic Group operates in the electric radiant heating and gas heating markets. Bromic is also present in other markets with its Plumbing & Gas, Refrigeration and Control divisions.

Comparison

 

Similarities between Infratech and Bromic patio heaters

Design

Despite their different designs, the two companies Infratech and Bromic offer patio heaters with a beautiful, well-thought-out look that blends easily into modest to prestigious terraces.

 

Efficiency

Although there is an efficiency difference between Infratech and Bromic slightly favoring Infratech, all Infratech patio heaters and Bromic’s Tungsten smart heat patio heater use a similar radiant element that is superior to propane alternatives.

Note: Bromic’s other models offer a lower radiant efficiency than the two discussed above.

 

The difference between Infratech and Bromic patio heaters

Sustainability

In my opinion, the biggest difference between Infratech and Bromic patio heaters is durability.

Infratech patio heaters are more weather-resistant and less prone to rusting, making them a durable investment for many years to come. Infratech’s carefully selected premium materials make a real difference to durability.

Choice of control

Infratech offers a multitude of controls, starting with basic controls and ending with a control panel that lets you create zones and modulate the intensity of each device directly on your cell phone or home automation system.

In contrast, although Bromic controls offer a wireless option, they do not allow devices to be grouped together. As a result, you’ll need to purchase several individual controls in order to monitor your entire system. As a result, this technology is less efficient to install and less practical to use.

Price

For a device of the same power, the Infratech choice will usually be less expensive. There are several variations of each product, so you need to be careful when comparing prices (choice of color, choice of housing, choice of mesh, etc.).

In terms of control, Infratech is generally less expensive, since Infratech control panels can control a whole range of devices, whereas Bromic products can only control a 6kW device. So, for a system with more than one unit, you’ll need to add Bromic controls, which makes this solution more expensive both to buy and to install.

Installation

Infratech patio heaters are sold with more flexible electrical conduits, making them easier to install.

Warranty

Infratech patio heaters normally come with a 3-year warranty. However, when you buy your Infratech devices from Technirep, you get an extra year’s warranty at no extra charge! Infratech products come with a 4-year warranty.

Bromic patio heaters come with a 1-year warranty.

 

Conclusion

Thanks to their greater durability, lower price, greater warranty, al simpler installation and wider choice of controls, Infratech patio heaters are to be favored for decks.
