PROJECT: Removing The Cadet Electric Wall Heaters

The Heaters

Three of the Cadet electric wall heaters have to go. They're on Craigslist now as well. They're not that old, as I bought them from Cadet to replace older units, but there's a ductless heat pump in the house now. The units are not needed as a result, and I had the electrician take these units offline and use the newly-vacant spots on the electrical panel for the two Daikin heat pump heads. Made a lot more sense than upgrading the current panel.

The Plan

Once the wall heaters and faceplates are gone, the plan is to get a small rectangular piece of drywall for each and drywall over the holes in the wall. Might require a small bit of wood bracing for each for drywall stability, and will need some mud and drywall tape, along with texturing. Once it looks like "plain wall," the painting for each area can wait, as all of these areas will be repainted eventually. As I'm not a rocker (at least the right kind), this drywall work will require a handyman who can do some minor drywall work.
