Split the feed circuit (inside a junction box) and feed the hot to both the baseboard heater with the built in thermostat AND to the 2nd thermostat.
If you have any questions, contact a local, qualified electrician, heating specialist or local handyman.

How do you fit a baseboard heater?

How do you wire in a lowvoltage thermostat control to a baseboard heater?
Most baseboard heaters use hi voltage thermostats.
What makes an electric baseboard heater tick?
The expansion and contraction of the heating element when the unit turns off and on. If you have ultra fine hearing and the thermostat is part of the baseboard heater it will be the bi-metal element in the thermostat.
Is your baseboard heater using power when a single-pole thermostat is set to low?
Your thermostat is just a temperature switch. A switch just breaks the circuit to stop the current from flowing. When you set a position on the thermostat you are telling the switch when to come on and when to shut off depending on the room temperature. If it is set to low then the base board heater will not come on until the low set-point is reached. When the room warms up to above the set-point the baseboard heater will shut off. If your concern is about a 240 volt baseboard heater and just a single pole on the thermostat do not worry. Breaking one leg of a 240 volt circuit will stop the current flow and the heater will not operate.
What is the lowest price for a baseboard heater?
The price of a baseboard heater is going to depend on the brand and length of the heater you are going to buy. You can get one for as little as $27 for a 30 4ft. baseboard.
Is there a switch available to control power to a thermostat for 20A 240V electric baseboard heater?
There are two types of thermostats. One is a line voltage stat. This is in effect a switch and when turned to the off position the voltage is interrupted and the heater will not operate. The other type of stat is low voltage. There will be a relay in the baseboard heater that the thermostat is connected to. With this type if installation to turn the power completely off you will have to turn the breaker off that feeds the circuit.
How far away should furniture be from a baseboard heater?
From 100 to 150 mm from the front face of the baseboard heater.
How do I turn off a baseboard heater when there is no visible thermostat?
There is a thermostat somewhere, usually on the wall or on the heater itself. Just turn the breaker off at the breaker box. Label the breaker if it is not already labeled. Once the power is turned off to the unit, you can disconnect the wires inside the heater to permanantly shut down the unit.
If a baseboard heater has its own thermostat can you bypass it and wire it to a wall mounted thermostat?
Yes, but be sure you buy what is known as a `line voltage thermostat`when you do this since you have no control voltage but are simply breaking a line in the main power feed to turn the strip on and off.
Where does the red wire in a baseboard heater connect to the black or white wire in the wall?
In the heater you will have two wires. You should then have 2 supply wires from the panel, and 2 wires from the thermostat. The neutral (white) supply wire should go to one of the wires on the heater. The hot (black) supply wire should connect to one wire from the thermostat. The other wire from the thermostat will connect to the other wire from the heater.
Can an electric baseboard heater be installed under a towel rack in a bathroom?
Yes, an electric baseboard heater can be installed under a towel rack in a bathroom.
When was the baseboard heater invented?
