Well, it's labour day weekend, can't get a hold of any electricians so this is my only shot until Tuesday.

I am running wire for thermostats in three small-medium size rooms, each having one thermostat and one small base board heater. How can I wire the thermostats together so that they're all on one circuit? I am referring to the actual wiring on the thermostat, do I just marret each set of wires together (respectively) and pig tail to the thermostat? I just don't know if that would interfere with the next themostat drawing power from the first one.

Thanks.

Off the top of my head I'll assume you are running 220 volts to the t stat and that you will make and break only one side (120 volts) to each heater. You will have to marret wires together and pig tail shorter wires to each t stat. I'm watching tv right now so I'm having trouble getting my brain around it with the info you have given.
