Hello,
DIY homeowner here in South Carolina. I have a question regarding wiring some lights and a fan.
I’m replacing an old ceiling fan. It has 14/3 running to the box. The old fan has 3 switches wired. One controlling the fan and two more controlling the lights on the fan.
I’d like to add a new fan and recessed lights around the fan. Can I install a box in the ceiling and split the hot wires, one to the fan and another to the string of lights? And splice the neutrals back at the box? My understanding is many newer fans only have two wires.
Thanks,
AG
