Two 750 wattage heaters are fine on the same circuit, as it will draw the same current (amps) as one 1500 wattage heater on high. At any rate, people need to check their breakers to see which it is on and what the breaker/wiring is rated for. I have a 30 amp 120v breaker, which can handle 3,600 watts, which would be two 1500 watt heaters on high, with 600 watts left over for anything else. Bit everyone's setup is different.
