Questions

If the unit is wall mounted can you get to the fan switch? How far off the wall is the heater if wall mounted?

Answers

Inktum: The 1/2 inch provided by the wall Mount is not enough space for my fingers, I furred it out another 1 1/2 inch by ripping a 2x4.

ProductExpert30: With the included mounting bracket the heater will be approximately 1" from the rear wall. You would be able to reach the fan switch from the top of the heater.
