Hi all first post here. I am a first time home owner here, newly married and 25 years old. I am a big DYI guy. The wife wants a fan in our bedroom so we just bought a cheap unit to see what we think and if we will actually use it. Also also bought the brace to put in the attic between the trusses.
So my electrical question. Right now we have about (7) recessed lights in our bedroom but I was thinking maybe I should not pull power from that circuit as we will probably have the lights on when the fan is of. So I am thinking about fishing it though the wall and tying it into the backside of an outlet.
So I would fish the wire down to the outlet, rthe outlet is in the middle of the circuit so I could either do a pigtail or possibly attach it directly to the terminals? I guess I would have to get a new old work deep box to stuff all these wires in there?
Then I would run this hot wire to a switch then to the fan. The fan is the fan only, no lights.
Sorry for the long post, just want to try to cover everything.
