You could also get an electrician, while they are moving stuff, to put in a dedicated outlet for the tank with a GFI and run it straight to your mains on its own circuit.

if your doing floors there a good chance your doing the baseboards? cut drywall down low and drill the studs and get a 5 or 6" tall baseboard. no drywall repair and super easy to do.

That is brilliant. For all that matters you could just cut the drywall up an inch off the floor and run the lines in that gap. Just don't nail them when you reinstall the baseboards. Lol

Electricians are good. Just point at switches, say they can't be there. Let the pro figure it out

thats a cheating way to do it and not a very safe way. I DO NOT reccomend this. you will know its there but future homeowners will not. they change baseboards and start shorting circuits and the thermostat does nothing or goes bonkers.......... drill the center of the studs or if your near the edge put up a stricker plate and atleast its done properly.

also do not run line voltage and low voltage right parrallel to each other. you will have interference on the thermostat

My baseboards are all glued onto the wall
Is that a new thing? or the norm these days?
