Subject: 3 way with ceiling fans
Question
I have two ceiling fans with lights in my living room. we are remodeling the room and have the drywall off. i would like to install dimmers to control the light and fan speed separately and need to have switches on opposite walls. i currently have 12-2 + gr. could you explain how i need to wire this?
Answer
Where ever your power comes to this circuit, start with that box. You need a 3way dimmer for the lights...only one. I dont think you can get a 3way fan control. You feed the first light switch with power, YOu have 12/3 going from switch to switch. From the 12/3 s to s the white wire goes to the lite wires for the fans.
