I do agree here. I hate having a fan come on any time I switch on a light. In the bathroom I use in my house, there are two separate switchable circuits- one for lighting, and one for the fan.

There is only one switch on the wall. Because of the way the roof is framed in that area, only a trained spider monkey would have been able to make a new wire run. Instead, there's one of these:

Clearly you and I differ as to our interpretation of the word "Love."

Dude if you get a standard type single gang combo switch, single gang retro box, and a GFI outlet (you'll already have romex), you'll spend about $20. The most expensive part by far is the GFI outlet. You'll then at any time be able to run dimmers or timers. I don't understand how people don't have dimmers on bathroom lights personally.

Upside:

this fan is very quiet, won't bother me at all since my parents house has loud ones and they never bothered me. plus now the wiring will take about 5 minutes and cost me zero. I don't really feel the need for a dimmer in the bathroom

either way i can always make the change later

I bought a Broan myself, crazy quite and it's not even the best sound rating.
