    Are they next to each other? If so, wire one, then add the other one to it in parallel. Do you have sufficient supply to power two heaters? Is your wiring capable of handling two heaters, that is doubling the amperage on the circuit? We need a bit more information to help you.

    I don`t think I would want to do that,, each heater pulls a certain amount of electric,both together would need to pull twice the power,, meaning heavier wire and heavier breaker,, if wired in paralle together,, seems it would be safer and smarter to have a tstat on each heater,, I say don`t do it
