I have two baseboard heaters to install on a 240V, 20A circuit. One heater is 1500w and the other is 2000w.
From my panel, I leave the 20A breaker with 12/2 wire to reach the first baseboard. Obviously I will be waiting for my electrician to come and do this but I am curious as to how both heaters will be plugged.
Will these be plugged in series? If so, how does he do this?
P.S: Located in Quebec, Canada

You would not normally wire two heaters that are rated for 240VAC operation in series on a 240VAC power source. Instead they would be connected in parallel along a daisy chain of wiring like shown here. Note that the below does not depict the safety ground wire connections.
