Depending on what type of electrical heaters you have, turning the thermostat dial to the midway point may not mean it is consuming half of the total rating power. Some use the thermostat setting as just an on-off switch activating with temperature.
If the circuit breaker has tripped a number of times, it may be starting to fail or open at a lower draw than it's rating. They are cheap to buy and easy to replace.
If, after you follow the advice given here and the breaker continues to trip, you should buy a new heater that can be set at a draw of only 750 watts instead of 1500 watts.
