Electrical Question: |
|
Yes - you should be able to add a second ceiling fan to the existing wall switch or circuit as long as the circuit has the capacity, most likely it does. Typical ceiling fans do not create a heavy electrical load. |
|
The wiring to the existing ceiling fan just needs to be extended to the location of the additional ceiling fan, all installed according to code of course. |
