Back Porch Fans

  • If ceiling fans are indicated for the back porch they will be one of these options. If the plans do not indicate which one then please ask.
    • Prewire for Future Fans. No fans are actually being installed. Just wiring for a fan to be installed sometime in the future.
    • Customer Supplied - CTH to install. CTH does not supply ceiling fans for back porches so if they are to be installed they will be supplied by the customer.
