These are oldoldish standard chain-pull operated ceiling fans in our bedrooms enter image description here enter image description here

AndThe light is operated by a wall switch or the one of the chains in the fan, The fan, it is only operated by pulling the chain. I would like to connect them to wall switches... one of those light-fan combo switches similar to this one

enter image description here

But I don't know if that is possible at all? and if so; what is involved or complex would it be? Does it need to have new wires sneak through the ceiling and walls? Would it require to hire an electrician or could I - handy with doing things myself but don't know much about electric stuff-- could do?
