My in-laws have two ceiling fans in their living room. Currently the lights
are controlled by two separate light switches (in one box), and the fans
are controlled by pull strings. As part of a rewiring project, I'd like to
rewire the fans to be controlled by wall controls instead of the pull
strings.

So, I'm curious if I could wire both ceiling fans to a single control?

Each fan has 4 lights, so that's about 480 watts for the lights. I assume I
should be OK there as long as I get a control with the proper wattage
rating.

What I don't know is how two fan motors would cope on a single speed
control? Would this cause any problems?

Thanks,

Anthony
