Default Bathroom Fan Electrical Connections

now that i've got the duct/soffit question answered, i have a question
regarding the electrical.


i'm replacing an existing ceiling light with a bathroom fan/light
combo.

i don't think it's a problem, but i figured i might ask.

anyone know if its a problem to hook up the electrical for the fan AND
the light to the same switch so that once you flick the single switch
both the fan and light go on.

i don't want to change the existing wiring to the existing ceiling
light fixture.

also, i'm gonna be hooking up a wall timer and there are those for
lights only and those for fans/lights...

stupid question but i'm assuming i need the one that would be able to
handle the motor as well, or is that necessary?

thanks!

My question is where are you venting it to? The fan without a vent to
the outside can be very bad news.

The switch you are looking at should work just fine.
