Happy Veterans Day – November 11, 2023

“Any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worthwhile, I think can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction: ‘I served in the United States Navy.”

— President John F. Kennedy, remarks at the U.S. Naval Academy, August 1, 1963

With Veterans Day on Saturday this year, we will be on liberty, but prepared to return to duty and ready to serve you on Monday.

“The highest obligation and privilege of citizenship is that of bearing arms for one’s country.”

— Gen. George S. Patton Jr.

Bromic – New product announcement and Revised Price List

Bromic has announced the start of production for the Low Clearance Recess Kit (standard and marine 316 versions) for the Platinum 4500W electric heaters. This is great news, as the Low Clearance Recess Kits are a game-changer in making more ceilings available for recessing the attractive and efficient Platinum Electric Heaters. Adding this great technology to the hottest of the Platinum Electric Heater opens even more opportunities. However, Bromic has not yet announced when they will be available in North America. We will certainly take orders from customers for fulfillment for when they arrive.

Accordingly, we have revised our Bromic Price List to add these new items and make a few needed corrections:

1. Removed extra “-” in all Tungsten Electric Heater item numbers. eg., BR-ETNG-60 is now BR-ETNG60
2. Corrected price for BR-ETNG40-208
3. Corrected price for BR-ETNG40-WH-277
4. Added Low Clearance Recess Kits for Platinum 4500W:

• • BR-CRKEP45-LC
  • BR-CRKEP45-316-LC

** Please Note – Bromic announced the start of production of these two new items, but not their availability in North America. Stay tuned…
