Hi Folks,
I'm wiring in a new 220 circuit for a tankless Water Heater. I am pretty sure I am going to have to run it through conduit since I don't want to run the huge wires through the wall and ceiling, That would entail QUITE a lot of sheetrock work
My question is, where/how do I have the wires\conduit come out from behind the sheetrock above the Circuit panel? Do I run the wires all the way up to the ceiling and have the conduit just poke through the sheetrock? Or can I go up just as far as I need to and then go to the surface from there?
Here are pictures of what my setup is and what I need to do. You can see the old water heater off to the right and that is where I plan on putting the tankless unit.
I know electricians must have to deal with this all the time, do they just rip out all the sheetrock as needed and then let the homeowner deal with replacing it all
Thanks for any help!
