Ceiling fans typically require 14-2 wire, which is rated for 15 amps, as most ceiling fans draw less current than that. However, if the fan includes a light fixture or if it's a larger fan with higher power requirements, it's advisable to check the manufacturer's specifications. Using 12-2 wire, which is rated for 20 amps, is generally acceptable and can provide additional capacity, but it may not be necessary for standard ceiling fan installations. Always consult local electrical codes and a qualified electrician if unsure.
