I want to swap a flourescent light ran on a 3 way with a ceiling fan. I have 3 wire already ran between the 2 switches for the 3 way light but I need to add a switch so I can control the fan and light separately. I would like to keep the light kit portion still workable for 3 way but the fan doesn't need to be.
And it goes to one of the switches. I would recommend changing that switch box to a double box, and then running a switch leg up to the fan this will supply control to the fan. Control over the light will stay the same.
You will need to change the cable between the switch and the fan to a three wire cable from a two wire cable.
