Onc mounted can it be removed and placed somewhere else? Also is it silent?

Yes with proper anchors to the wall. It comes with spacers that keep the unit away from the wall. Metal spacers can also be made from standard hardware materials.

I've mounted them on drywall and on plywood in a chicken coop, even though the instructions clearly state that it shouldn't be used outside. Worked fine for years! I haven't tried mounting to cinder blocks, but if you can drill into them and provide the right connectors, then there's no reason that it can't be done.

If it's a inside wall. Econo- Heat say's no outside walls either block or framed Cold air will effect the way the heater operates. I found out some of my heaters burned out after a few years. I still have one that is three years old.

No, the heater should NOT be mounted vertically, as per manufacturers instructions, horizontal only.

I used the mounting system so that I could slide and position them exactly where I wanted. But if you put anchors in the wall, you can mount them to the block.

Yes and no. First of all, the cord comes out of the back so the unit can't be flushed against the wall. You will need to give about 2-3" of clearance or the cord will be stressed from bending. Second, the unit does get warm. Since the wall is an insulator, it prevents heat from maximum dissipation, making it less efficient. Third, some wall coatings, i.e. paint and wallpaper glue, shrinks or gets brittle from prolonged heating. So while it's possible to place this very close to the wall, it's not advisable.

My house doesn't have cinder block walls, but I hung mine in a window and it works well. I'm also about 50 miles from a transmitter. I have noticed that the sun position in the sky does affect some of the stations during some times of the day.

The box has hardware for installing it on a concrete wall or a wood wall. Fortunately, I was able to install it on a cinder block wall. You must open the door of the box in order to install it on the wall so the support screws are securely hidden when the door is locked. It's very sturdy metal and no one is going to be able to take it off the wall without knocking a hole in the wall (in my case). However, I wouldn't install it on drywall because drywall is not sturdy enough. I'm extremely happy with this security box.

This model is power vented so you would need to run 3" or 4" flue pipe thru an outside wall. If the pipe runs thru combustible materials it needs to be double wall. The pipe can run horizontal from the unit or vertical but always uphill. If venting in your application cannot be done try a non vented radiant gas heater.

This should certainly work for your application. It uses 12 gauge wire and a grounded plug. If your block heater uses a recessed plug, you may have to trim the edges of the female plug end to fit the receptacle.

Yes...this unit can be wall mounted but it has to be adequately vented to the outside.

It's just not safe to mount the heater below an electrical outlet. The cord from a plugged in item could drape on to the heater or the heat rising could over heat the outlet causing an unsafe situation. When it comes to the safety of your home, I always try to think of the worst situation and what could happen. Never take that chance. Your safety is of the utmost importance.

The owner's manual shows heater can be wall mounted or put directly on the floor, though it also states heater is designed to be mounted on the wall. Mine is wall mounted and I don't recall feet being included, plus the gas line comes out of the bottom so I don't know how the on-floor would work. Perhaps you could download a copy of the manual to get a better idea. Great little heater.

This heater is not made for a wall mounted thermostat. I'm sure a person who knew what they were doing could disassemble the unit and "rig" one up. The thermostat that is on the heater works pretty well.

It would definitely fit but keep in mind it gets very hot underneath. I would put it on top of cinderblock or something. Ps I love mine �

Since there is no air intake at the back it would be safe to wall mount this heater. I see no means of attachment on the casing so I would suggest a shelf with a surround fence up to the black grill-work on the front.

My walls are cinderblock and I can not give you an honest answer. The system is kinda heavy for drywall. I personally would prefer to attach it to a stud through a wall but have to use mollybolts.

Generally speaking most heaters are supposed to have a tipover safety cutoff circuit in them so no, don't expect to be able to use it or ANY UL listed/safely designed portable heater on its side, although some may not be as safely designed as others so you could get away with it.

As long as you point the heater mostly away from the wall, then yes it can be mounted on a wall.
