    radiant heat: keep it hot or ??

    2 wire wifi thermostat?

    Garage Heater electrical

    I would mount the box for the disconnect directly over the knockout of the unit heater.Use a 4x4 or 2x4 box ,and run an armoured cable flex up through a perfectly sized hole in the drywall. No box is required at the ceiling.
