Bathroom fan
I am going to put in a exhause fan in my bathroom. All that is there now is one swith controlling 2 lights. My question is can i use the power from that swith for the fan and make it a 2 switch box. Installation I understand but it's whether I need to get power from somewhere else or not. Any input would be great.

The answer depends on whether there is both a return and a neutral in the switch box.
Open the switch and tell us what wires are in the box and how they are connected. Be specific as to colors and connections.

The other consideration would be circuit load. If you plan to install a fan, a fan / light or a fan/light/nightlight, then you are most likely OK circuit wise. If the fan you choose has a heat function, then you will most likely be overloading the circuit.
