Baseboard heater installation

I'm very new at this and like to know if I can install a baseboard on the inside wall instead of outside wall. i can access my inside wall from the other side. The heater is 1000watts 240v and using 12/2 wire.

1000 watts divided by 240 gives you 4.167 amps. you'd be safe to use 14/2 on a 15 amp breaker. If your upper and lower walls align with each other, maybe you can snake a wire in between the walls.

Hube is an unknown quantity at this point
Rajrac;your question was..." can i install on inside wall...' and the answer is YES, no problem.
And use the 12/2 wire and you will be better off.
