    You need to very electrical codes in your area. Heaters are normally in a metal box designed to hold the heater and face one room. They are dimensioned to fix inside a 3-1/2" wall with 1/2" protruding into one room to match the thickness of the sheetrock.

    This is not a project for a DIY. Codes are involved for proper and safe installation. Electrical codes and if gas regulations must be met. If you need to ask call a professional. This is not something to play around with.

  • I would think this is best left to professionals. Between the wiring and the heat and what your walls are made of, that could be a recipe for a DIY disaster. Best be safe and call a pro.

    Use a licensed, insured contractor.

    Hi Julian, take pictures of everything & the way it is hooked up, tear out step by step taking pictures, then install the new the same way as the old one was, you should get a proper inspection once it is in, just to be safe!
