    THe only way

    I would do that is if you used the thermostat to power a single throw triple pole relay. or remove 2 transformers and use one furnace as the master, replacing its transformer with say a 74VA, and the other 2 slaved to it.

    The problkem is that you do not want the transformers from each furnace potentially backfeeding the circuit to the other 2 units essentially having a non stop demand. It can create an infinite "loop" situation.

    on the plus side, using 3 stats allows the furnace to direct the heat to the required area and not create "hot spots" personnaly I would leave it

    How big is the room?

    What is the BTU rating (input) to the furnaces?
