You should have power in the box with the switch already. *You can add
the fan/light to that circuit.
That was a reply to the person who said I should just tap into an existing
attic feed.

who replied to a person who was telling you to hire an electrician, assuming
your time is worth more than a dollar an hour.

Assuming your time is worth more than a dollar an hour you're already ****ed
away the price of an electrician with the time spent discussing the task on
usenet.

The general tone of this group is mostly diy. It's a real pain in the
butt to find a real electrician to do a job this small. Most won't
bother. You'll end up with a a handyman which in many states is not
even legal because you are supposed to be a licensed tradesman to work
on electrical, gas, hvac, etc if the structure is not yours. Plus if
he does it himself he will have learned something along he way as well
as gained the satisfaction of doing it himself.
