Replacing a 2 gang switch box with a single gang switch box
I just bought a ceiling fan that is controlled with only one switch. I failed to realize the obvious at the time in that my previous ceiling fan has two switches. So I am faced with having an empty switch. So I can either do one of the following:
> I can change the switch box to a single switch unit. I have an original construction 80s style dark brown box in there. Do I have to cut a huge hole or is there an easier way to do this?
>I can buy a fan that is designed to go with two switches. Are these still made?
Thanks for your help
