I have two baseboard heaters (1000w and 1500w), both 240V. They are in different rooms of the house. I want to run them on the same 240V circuit- 15A. Two questions: can I put both on the same circuit? And can I simply connect them in a junction box near the panel?

I would have to say that you need to run a separate circuit and with 1000 and 1500 watts which will pull 11 amps at 240 vac and you stated it was on a 15 amp breaker then no since you have other loads on the circuit.
