[ad#block]Electrical Question: I want to install a ceiling fan in 2 separate rooms, neither room has a wall switch or ceiling mount:
- Can both fans be on the same circuit breaker?
- 1 fan has no light, does it require a wall switch?
- The other fan has a light, does it require a wall switch?
Thanks, Scott
