I am wanting to add 3 new ceiling fans and two regular plugs for a tv and satellite. Would it be alright to put these all on the same circuit and what size wire/circuit should I use? Someone told me that if i install these on one circuit i will get interferrence in the tv from the fans???
Thanks

It is usually best to keep lighting and fans on different circuits than receptacles. But basically the size of the circuit you need depends on how much current you will draw, and you are only allowed to use 80% so if it's a 20 amp circuit you should only load it to 16 amps. You should also plan for more than what you may expect to be plugged into the receptacles. I would use two separate circuits.
