2 Ceiling Fans - 1 Speed Control Switch

[Kilkenney]

Hi Guys,

I have 2 ceiling fans with no lights wired to one switch. The fans are 60watts each. The provided speed control switch is clunky and says not to connect to multiple fans.

Can you help me with how I calculate the correct AMP switch needed to support both fans?

Ceiling Fans are Westinghouse 7861400 Industrial 56" Three Blade Indoor Ceiling Fan with 5 Speed Wall Control Unit

They do make speed controls that will control 2 fans but I will guarantee there will be a hum. If you can get someone to separate the fans.
