in an exisiting bathroom, do I have to tear up the wall to install this or does it mount on the outside? Electric can be in the wall.

The warmer is installed on the existing surface wall. You can connect with a nearby outlet with a plug but best if hardwired.

It mounts to the wall. We did have to open the wall up to re-route power, but that's all.

I have not installed mine yet but it is really engineered well to attach to a wall. Mine is drywall so I believe I will put in plugs to accommodate the supplied screws. Electrical box must be in place to direct wire it. As the picture shows, on the right bottom are wires that get connected inside a box. So yes, electric is in the wall.

You don't have to tear up the wall. You can use a nearby outlet and mount it directly to the wall studs. Connecting it was surprisingly easy. It's also connected to a Honeywell on/off timer

I don't know construction but mine was installed by a contractor and looks like the picture. He used the wall socket location removing the wall socket and using the units electric connection. The on off switch is located on the end of the opposite vertical so it is invisible. It does get very hot quickly but I did not put in a thermostat that I think is available. I'm quite pleased with its operation and it fits into the décor.

As long,as you can fish the wires through from the thermostate, if you will be using that, and have electricity/box it all goes on the outside.

This mounts on the outside of the wall and comes with mounting hardware, e.g. drywall anchors. I would recommend installing one side to a stud . Connect the electric as stated by the directions and local code.

Ours was installed after the tile behind it was installed. So, no, I don't think you have to tear up the wall.

This is exactly what is says it is just a wall plate with the connectors. You will have to run the wires and mount the box within the wall prior to installing this plate. (To answer your question: cut hole in wall where you want the box. Mount box. Run wire...)

Manual states in should be on a level surface or wall mounted. I use mine on the floor. This heater is advertised for bathroom use due to bathroom safe plug. Manual is available online if you want to review.

My bonded and licensed plumbers installed the unit OUTSIDE of the actual shower - and that has been the general recommendation for its installation. It has a drain pan it sits in and the drain pan should be routed to the outside of the house - for those very rare occasions the unit has to be flushed. The steam outlet is routed to the inside of the shower room.

I mounted mine near the top of the walk-in shower wall to circulate the air and prevent mildew. It's been there for a year now and does the job very well in that situation. But for safety reasons, I only turn it on AFTER the shower and have it powered on a GFI circuit.

The holes for the mounting screws are in the back and the screws will go into the wall. Mine was mounted onto a wood surface so I did not have to use screw anchors which would be needed if mounted on wallboard. Two other things, if you use an electric driver you will need a longer phillips head bit (mine is mounted with the short loops downward, you'll need to see which way will make the longer loops level so there is no danger of the glasses sliding off) and secondly I twisted the heads off of the cheap screws that came with it so I believe it would be a good idea to buy a couple of better quality screws from your local hardware store. Otherwise it looks good and does the job. The holes for the mounting screws are in the back and the screws will go into the wall.

i had mine installed about 3 inches from the outside wall because it is electric i felt that it would not be a good idea to expose it to the washington rains by looking at the exposed wires and wire rap .i did not see and thing in the instructions which would not permit it .

I will gladly send photos of my installation (I tried to insert a photo and couldn't, if you know how let me know) I ran into a situation where the new mounting sights where the shower rod attaches to the wall was not at a point where a wall stud was located. I used a screw-in drywall anchor (like the The Hillman Group 41408 Self-Drilling Hollow Wall Anchor found on Amazon)

I don't recommend for you to install it in drywall. To heavy for it. But if you want to risk it, the box comes with drywall plugs and screws.

Not really designed to be installed after drywall...ideally you install unit and then drywall after. the side with the electrical box will need about 2-3 inches extra clearance (I cut the drywall around the box and then patched it after install). the dimensions are about 9" by 15" with a notch needed for elec. box on top of that.

It's easy to mount depending what kind of surface. I mounted mine to a plaster wall by drilling hole for the plastic pieces, using the mount bracket for a template. Then screwed the mount bracket to the wall. Make sure the Allen head set screws are backed off then slide the curved tube into the mount and tighten the Allen screws. Easy. I drilled a hole through the wall and pushed the electric cord through into the room behind and plugged it into a wall socket with a line on-off switch. It's fun when people ask; "where is the power coming from?" It's Magic!

I mounted mine a half inch outside the vertical shower surround. Also be mindful of possible interference with bathroom door. Love the extra space.

Our handyman mounted it on the surface but attached it to wires inside the wall, as you would wire in a light switch. It's a great little heater.

No the mirror is not electric, and must be mounted on wall. My bathroom lighting is bright enough.

Like almost all fixed light fixtures, this fixture must be mounted to an approved electrical box. When replacing an existing fixture, you will find such a box inside the wall when you remove the old fixture. For a new installation on an existing wall you will need to purchase and install an electrical box approved for outdoor use, and then mount this fixture to the box. If you mount this fixture directly to an outside wall of any type, it will not be code-compliant and it will possible cause a fire. The whole ides of the electrical box is to make use the electrical connections are contained within a non-flammable container. vinyl siding is (potentially) flammable.

I mounted on the ceiling. If you have the electrical wiring and box I can't see why you could not mount it to the wall. I really like it. Is mounted in the kitchen area with the lights aimed at the counter tops. Looks great.
