NEC and wall switch
Could you install a ceiling mounted light/fan fixture without a wall switch
in the room per NEC code? Light/fan has its own switch. |

NEC and wall switch
"Jack" n wrote in message . .. Could you install a ceiling mounted light/fan fixture without a wall switch in the room per NEC code? Light/fan has its own switch. As another poster indicated, you can do so when you have a wall receptacle or another light controlled by a wall switch. I do not recommend this type of installation for a ceiling fan. Those pull chain switches don't last as long as the fan and you will most likely wind up replacing them down the road. I suggest running a three wire to the ceiling fan and have a wall switch for the light and a wall switch for the fan. As an alternative you can get a fan with a remote control unit. I don't know what kind of life you can expect from the remote control though. John Grabowski http://www.mrelectrician.tv |

I've been taught some rooms cannot use a switched receptacle to meet a lighted outlet requirement. later, tom @ www.NoCostAds.com |
