JH Heatsup vs Bromic: manufacturer or premium brand?
This is not a contest of who makes better heaters. It is a question about where you sit in the supply chain — and what that costs you per unit.
Short answer: Bromic is a premium branded infrared heating company selling through distributors and dealers, with gas and electric collections and a published design service. JH Heatsup is the factory: 1.0–4.0 kW far-infrared heaters, IPX4, CE/CB/SAA/EMC/RoHS/SASO, OEM and ODM programmes for importers and project contractors. Choose Bromic for brand-led specification with local stock; choose JH Heatsup for private label, project volumes and direct factory pricing.

Where JH Heatsup fits
- Private label and OEM projects: your brand, your packaging, your voltage and plug configuration.
- Project volumes where the per-unit factory price matters more than brand recognition on the specification sheet.
- Direct engineering contact: the people who set the element and wattage are the people answering your email.
- Single-source range from 1.0 kW wall panels to 4.0 kW three-phase units, plus portable models for temporary capacity.
Where Bromic Heating fits
- Gas heating options — our range is electric only, and a gas requirement is a genuine reason to choose Bromic.
- Local stock and dealer support in North America, Europe and Australia, which shortens lead time for small replacement orders.
- Brand recognition on a hospitality specification where the operator or franchise standard names a brand.
- Marine and superyacht applications with dedicated product engineering.
What the cost comparison actually looks like
- Compare landed cost, not unit price: freight, duty, certification, and the cost of holding stock all sit between the factory quote and the installed heater.
- A branded heater bought through a dealer carries distributor margin; a factory programme replaces that margin with your own import and stock function.
- For replacement elements and spare parts, ask both suppliers for the part price and lead time before you commit — this is where a five-year cost difference usually appears.
- Small orders favour local stock; container-scale orders favour the factory, which is the point at which OEM programmes become economic.
Frequently asked questions
Is JH Heatsup a competitor to Bromic?
We compete in the same category but from a different position: Bromic is a branded manufacturer selling through distribution, and we are a contract manufacturer supplying importers, distributors and project contractors, including under their own brand. Some of our customers sell against Bromic.
Can JH Heatsup supply gas patio heaters like Bromic?
No. Our range is electric far-infrared. If a project requires gas, Bromic is a legitimate choice and we will say so rather than propose an electric substitute for a gas specification.
How does certification compare?
Our units carry CE, CB, SAA, EMC, RoHS, SASO and CCC, with ISO 9001:2015 for the factory, and documents are supplied with the quotation. Bromic handles market certification through its regional distribution — confirm the applicable certificate for your destination with their local dealer.
What is the minimum order for an OEM programme?
It depends on the model and the level of customisation — a private-label carton is a different project from a new controller or a voltage variant. Send the model and the change you need and we will quote the minimum together with the tooling or artwork cost.
Which supplier should a restaurant chain choose?
If the chain specifies a brand for guest recognition or franchise compliance, buy the brand. If the chain controls its own specification and buys by container for multiple sites, a factory programme with consistent spares is usually the lower total cost.
