    Replacement heater wiring problem

    Hello all, I am replacing the wall-mounted heater in a room in my house. It is a 240V convection heater, latest model, replacing a 10 year old unit that stopped working. It mounts on a wall that is about 2' high below some large windows (see picture 1). The wall itself is only about 6"...
