I’m about to install a ceiling fan/ light / night light in my son’s bathroom. I’ll grab power from the existing vanity switch. I’ll need three switched hots to the fan which would require either 14/4 romex or a conduit with the appropriate wires. Conduit would be a royal PIA.
The local electric supply house is closed Saturdays. Lowe’s and HD don’t carry it (14/4).
Do I have any other options to get this done this weekend?
Yes, the vanity light switch is fed from a 15A breaker.

Thanks in advance

Many of these combo units come with remote controls... I've found that feature to be pretty handy and avoids wiring issues completely.
