How do I add a switch to an existing light circuit?


I want to add a ceiling fan to a room that is wired for an overhead light. I want the fan and light to be controlled by different switches. Is it possible for me to just split the hot wire at the light switch (before the switch) and add a new switch, then run a new line to the fixture? I do have access to the attic above the room so running new wires is no problem.

Yes, that is how it is done. You can use a double switch in the same location, you just need to have another switched lead to the fan location. The biggest problem is to get the wire between the 2 points.

Jaime Wyatt - "Light Switch"

Can I add an electrical outlet to a light switch in a bathroom without overloading the circuit?


I have a bathroom with a double light switch (one for the light, one for the exhaust fan), but no outlet. I want to add an outlet where the wiring comes into the light switch (for my wife to use her blow dryer, curling iron, etc). Is this possible to do? Oviously I still need to keep both switches.

new installations call for a seperate circuit for the bathroom receptacle (20 amp) because of high wattage hair dryers, etc. Must also be GFI protected to protect you from shock. It does nothing regarding overloads...

Make sure your switch junction box has a neutral wire (white) in it also, or its not gonna work. Wirenut into your common hot that feeds both switches. Wirenut onto the white wire thats hopefully there. extend these with the ground to your new outlet. install a GFCI receptacle, and basically see what happens. it might work fine, or maybe trip a breaker. If it trips a breaker when you use it, you will have to run another circuit from your panel. And plug a nite-lite into your new receptacle..I'll probably get a bad answer for this one, but you wanted to know...
