In the ceiling box, connect the wall load1 (black) to the light hot wire (blue) then the wall load2 (white w/ black tape) to fan hot wire (black) and the fan neural and fan ground to the power supply neutral and ground. Most remote-controlled ceiling fans don’t need a wall switch, but you. Alternatively, you can always wire in a wall switch, they don’t usually need a wall switch to work. At the touch of a button, you can adjust speeds, turn your fan off and on, or adjust lighting settings.
Once you install smart switches that require neutrals then those would also be shared/jumpered/split across both switches. Remote-controlled ceiling fans make cooling off your home simple. In the wall box, your line will be shared/jumpered/split across both switches and then the ground will also be shared/jumpered/split across both switches. Add a piece of black electrical tape at each side of the load2 white wire to properly indicate that is a second line feed from the switch. The other romex will be used for your switched loads, one for light (black is load1) and one for fan (white becomes load2). You have now effectively extended your ‘power supply’ to the wall box. That is now your line, neutral and ground in the 2 gang wall box. Take one run of romex (a black, white and ground - in the same sheath) between the ceiling and the wall box and connect that (line, neutral and ground) to your power supply feed in the ceiling. Wiring may differ somewhat if a switch or fixture was added at a later date.Ĭlick on picture for larger view.So this looks ugly on the surface but as long as you actually have two runs of 14/2 or 12/2 (black, white and ground) romex then you are in luck and you can convert the wiring to have your neutral and line in the 2 gang wall box and be able to run two smart switches that require neutrals.ĭisconnect it all both in the wall box and the ceiling because we have to rewire the whole thing: These drawings are based on the wiring methods that an electrician would use in new construction. The wall switch can be an ON/OFF switch, a variable speed control or dimmer. The following diagram highlight the most common.įor the purpose of the diagrams we assume that if there is only one wall switch it powers the light and the fan is controlled by a switch on the fixture (the reverse is possible by changing the wire in the fixture identified as fan to light and the wire identified as light to fan. The wires that exit the ceiling fan/light fixture must then be connected to the wires found in the electrical box. If wall switches are used to control the fan and/or light the switches on the fixture should be turned to the ON position. NOTE 1: Pull chain, slider or other styles of switches, for the fan and/or light, that are mounted within the fixture can be ignored. The second part of this section deals with the wiring of ceiling fans with lights, as shown in Figure 1. Wiring A Ceiling Fan With & Without A Light - Part 2 Part 1 Ceiling Fan/Light Fixture Controlled by Ganged Switches (Fan at End of Cable Run) This layout is for a.
