I know this can be done I've seen it in new homes, best answer goes to any good diagram or a very well written description.

  1. Yes it can be done if the heaters are of small enough wattage that the thermostat can handle the power. Also check the manufacturers website, there was a recall on some of those units a couple of years ago.

    Add the total wattage of the heaters, use a wire large enough to handle that current plus 25%, use a thermostat larger than needed for the heaters.  Wire the thermostat to the first heater and the second heater off of the first. The heaters are wired in parallel, the thermostat is wired in series with the heaters.  This is not to state that it may or may not meet current code.  If you are uncertain about how this is done, call a qualified professional electrician to do the work.
