How to wire electrical switches?
Hi everybody,
I feel comfortable wiring fixtures, and even a single switch, but I have a double switch that I need to install and really don't want to call an electrician if I can avoid it. How do I wire this...- dimmer switch for a ceiling fan
- regular light switch for the porch light
- wire coming from the ceiling fan
- wire coming from the porch light
- one hot wire coming into the box
As there will not be light on the fan, all wires are 2 conductor plus ground. As I ripped the ceiling apart to run the fan wire, I ran 3 conductor just in case we decided to add a light down the road, but the third wire will not be used right now.
Thanks,
Amy
