I have a black, white and green wire at the switch currently.I want to change a switch that now goes to an outlet to a double switch and add a fan (no light). How to wire?Before you cut any holes in your wall, make sure you can fish you wiring from the ceiling fan location to the switch you are wanting to use. This will require drilling through your framing, and wall plates, ( 2X4 top plates ). If you can, then the new double switch will install the same as the existing switch. The hot lead coming to that switch should make both switches hot on the new double switch. If not, you will have to add a jumper ( black ) wire . You may have a %26quot;line%26quot; and %26quot;load%26quot; marking. If so, the hot jumper lead will go to line, your new black wire ( for fan ) will go to load. Your black wire goes to the gold terminal, your white wire will gang together with the existing white group. Green and bare copper go together. When you get to the fan, It should be the same, if your fan has a light, the blue wire will go to the black, for the light power. Be careful! If this is confusing, maybe you should have help.I want to change a switch that now goes to an outlet to a double switch and add a fan (no light). How to wire?Get a book if you are unsure.



It`s imporatant to calculate the load on the circuit. Usually only half of the outlet will be wired to the switch, so your solution might be at the outlet.I want to change a switch that now goes to an outlet to a double switch and add a fan (no light).
