Breveleri | It will be about the same amount of effort, to run a 2-wire from the switch box directly to the new outlet, as to replace the 2 wire from the switch to the old outlet with a 3 wire plus run a two-wire between the outlets. - The new 2-wire need not pass through the old outlet box, even if it ends up passing adjacent to it. | |

| Apr 2, 2021 at 20:11 | comment | added | Ed Beal | If you have attic access finding a line up there that is an always hot to a light fixture may be an easier route than tapping the hot side of the switch but just guessing here. Most lighting circuits have the ampacity to add a blower. A bathroom only branch circuit would would be one of the few places not code compliant to tap. | |
