    Baseboard heaters
    Can you daisy chain baseboard heaters and use one baseboard mounted T-stat.

    Thanks Harry

    Yes and no. It really depends upon the amount of amperage the control you are using can take care of and the amount of amperage the heaters you plan on combining produce in amperage load. I would never go over 80% any way since it is not good to tax a control at full value.

    Yup, just like hvac said: size the circuit and tstat right and you can daisy chain more than one. I have one circuit with up to 3: 1KW, 1.5KW and 1.85KW.
