    What we need to know is the wattage and voltage of each of the heaters and what thermostat you were thinking of using.

    Be real nice and post links to the info and you'll be appreciated and get answers faster.

    Most line voltage stats are rated to about 22A and P=VI; Power = volts * Amps.

    1 way would be have heaters on their own breakers, then to a 3 pole Contactor and have thermostat control contactor.

    There really are only two ways to do it... correctly or incorrectly. ;)

    Seriously though, quite a bit more detail is on order as others have said.
