See THIS article for proper ground connections. Note that ground connections are not shown to avoid cluttering the diagram. Duplicate the spicing for the second ceiling fan / light. I will show only the first ceiling fan and control.

Here is a diagram to show how this circuit will be connected. 3-wire cable from 2 nd ceiling outlet down to the second 2-gang box for fan / light control.3-wire cable (switch legs) from first ceiling outlet, down to a 2-gang box for the first set of switches for ceiling fan / light control.2-wire cable (power out) to the second ceiling outlet box.2-wire cable (power in) to the first ceiling outlet box.With the power coming in to this circuit at the first ceiling fan outlet box, here is how to run the cables for this circuit. Check with your local electrical and building inspector, as well as the manufacturers recommendations. Make sure you mount the ceiling outlet boxes firmly, and with extra support so as to handle the additional weight of the fan. In roughing in wiring for a ceiling box that has a potential to have a ceiling fan installed either now, or in the future, it prudent to wire the circuit for separate control of the fan and the light kit on individual switches. Thanks for your help.Īnswer: In the question above, I am assuming that this is a new installation, and as I understand the question, the power now comes in to the first ceiling box intended for mounting the ceiling fan. Question: I would like to wire two ceiling fans - the power comes into the box first - I would also like to have two separate switches for lights and fans. Here is a quesion from a site visitor asking how to wire a ceiling fan and light kit with separate control switches for the fan and the light.
