I am trying to install a ceiling fan with a light fixture. However my power will come from a wall switch which controls a single receptacle. Here are my quetions:
1. Do I have to put another switch next to the current one in place? If so how would I receive Power?
2. After running 14/ 2 wire to the ceiling fan, my conections would be all white tied togther and grounds correct?
Ok, here is my situation and plan to installing a ceiling fan with a light.
1. Existing switch is in place to control a single receptacle.
2. I would like for the receptacle to remain hot always and the switch to control the ceiling fan/light.
My plan is to use 14/3 wire and make a run down to the switch and uses it for the fan. The question is connections, please walk me through the connections needed. I believe all the white go together under one nut. All green are intertwined under the grounding screw. I am not sure about the black witch will be the hot? Do I need a jumper?
