This will allow the installation of an off the shelf, fan control switch for both the light and the fan speed. Since this does NOT involve changes to the actual wiring, this can be a do it yourself project, or your basic handyman.
The biggest concern is to make sure the boxes installed are suitable for ceiling fans, if not, then I agree with the previous comment that your will need a licensed electrician.

What if I'm not planning to use lights on the fans? Would I just cap off this 3rd red wire and just not use it?
