How do I get power to a new ceiling fan?

I installed a ceiling fan in a bedroom where there was nothing. I ran a power line to the ceiling from the fan to a line that I saw that seemed to be hot and unswitched. I then found out that it was a switch for an outlet in the wall at the floor. So that outlet is powered by a line that is run along the floor. The hot goes up next to the doorway and switches at the entrance to the room. It then travels up over the door jam and down the other side to the outlet to complete the circuit. I figured that part out on my own. Now, How do I get a nuetral up to that fan to create a circuit without opening the walls? PS I’m a plumber and I took on this project for my mother in law. Please help before she calls an electrician and I look like a goof.

Is the house in an area where there is conduit pipe or romex? If conduit pipe, open up the ceiling box and jam a white wire down one of the pipes and pray that it goes into the wall switch.

Otherwise, you gotta get into the attic and run the romex yourself. Good idea to use 14/3 romex, so that you have two independent hot wires going to the ceiling fan. That way you can separately control fan and fan speed versus the lights on the ceiling fan.

You can also use Romex 12/3. There will be a white wire (neutral). Black is for the fan, red is for the lites. Even if you just cap off the red for now and don’t hook up a lite, run it anyway!
