How to identify and tap into the power circuit quickly

by Spook <spectre@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Jun 21, 2008 at 11:56 PM

Hello,
I have a new house and the builders conveniently provided pre-wired
ceiling fans receptacles. They added separate wiring  to control  the
light and fan separately for 3 rooms. One on the ground floor and 2 on
the second floor.

Well I successfully added the fans in the rooms they provided the pre-
wiring for but now I want to add more Hunter fans to two more rooms on
the second floor that they did not add wiring to.

I have easy access from the attic so I wasn't too shy to attempt this.

Now I just want to tap into the same unswitched 15 amp GFCI circuit
and add to 2 more fans with lights. How can I easily indentfy the last
in the circuit for un-switched power?  Do I just have to pop out each
wall fan switch till I see one less wire?

Will I overload the circuit with 5 fans, I looked at the instructions
and I don't see a Amp rating ?

I live in California, for it to be under code do I need to  add a
master wall switch to control the fan/light or can I can I just feed
unswitched power and  control from the fan's remote control or pull
switch?

I have already installed the fans but I have held off at the wiring
****tion. To see how much drywalling this exercise will encompass
especially if I might need to add a master wall switch.  `8-)

Thanks in advance...
