Great news and very nice savings there - it's amazing the damage they can do so fast. Very cool you've got hot water pumping through it. Congrats !!
Mice in the MasterTemp 400 heater!

Thank you!
It was out of laziness and impatience but I am glad I did not replace the whole wire harness first. I just repaired the gnawed wires and was able to prove that the other parts are OK (knock on wood). I will replace the wires at some point and definitely add the mesh you suggested.
By the way the mice were busy but they had probably been in there for about 4-5 months undisturbed. Plenty of time for a full wire feast!

What about the underside?
I don't know if the MasterTemp has (drainage/venting) holes on the bottom, but all my past heaters have. You might want to check with an inspection mirror (or maybe you can confirm looking from the inside).

Bottom on these units are solid. Blocking out the sides with the screening is the only thing that really needs to be done.
