HereÂs the scenario. Wrap around porch on a custom house. Customer wants 7 ceiling fans installed on the porch. Wants to be able to turn all fan/light combos on at the same time. When I do my load calcs I always rate ceiling fans at 3 amps. That said with 7 fans/lights IÂm at 21. Customer also wants to be able to control ALL fans/lights from 5 different locations. Can this be done?

I thought about using 2 circuits 1 for lights and 1 for fans (2 switches at every door). But the fans only have 1 neutral. I donÂt do commercial work but wondered if something exists in the commercial world of electric I could use. Customer does realize they would have to use pull chains for speed control of the fans. Seems they would also be alright using pull chains to control fans and or lights once they are powered on but still wants to be able to turn on or off all the fans/lights from the 5 locations.

Thank you in advance
