My house is a small 3 / 2 with an attached garage. Recently a new circuit was added to install 2 new ceiling fans in the patio. Can I use the same circuit to add an outlet in the attached garage? Or, does a garage require its own circuit. My garage is not a shop so no plans to run power tools from the new garage outlet. My garage is void of any outlets. What is the code for wiring an attached garage? Thanks

I really don’t see a reason that you can’t add a receptacle since only 2 fans are on that circuit. Good luck
 
Thanks for your reply. But, does the NEC allow me to comingle outlets in an attached garage with devices in the house, such as a ceiling fan, on the same circuit? Thanks again.
