Was just reading another old forum and someone wrote you don't need extra wiring for fans with a light, as they just use the light wiring. Is this true? Does that mean the electrician has charged us for both a light and a fan, when he only put in one wire??

A remote controlled fan does not require any extra wiring but in my experience can be a pain to operate. A regular fan/light does require 1 extra wire, a permanent active and one switch active for each of the fan and light. Hope this helps. AJ Re: Have ducted air con, worth getting bedroom fans too? 7Jul 14, 2011 7:28 pm We are in Vic and we are having both ducted air conditioning in all rooms and fans in the bedrooms and two living rooms. Believe the extra wiring is for the speed control of the fan. Our fans have lights as well. Re: Have ducted air con, worth getting bedroom fans too? 8Jul 14, 2011 7:58 pm We have a ceiling fan in our room, with the light and remote. It's better to have a fan as well as you don't want to run the ducted air all night. I have portable fans for my 2 boys. We are having evap cooling, DS is installing it, very happy with the cost ![]() Re: Have ducted air con, worth getting bedroom fans too? 10Jul 15, 2011 9:52 pm ![]() We have air and fans too. There isn't a night in summer that we don't have the fans on. I can't sleep in air cond, but the fan breeze is perfect. me too, plus fans are cheaper to run.
