Yes - you should be able to add a second ceiling fan to the existing wall switch or circuit as long as the circuit has the capacity, most likely it does. Typical ceiling fans do not create a heavy electrical load. |

The wiring to the existing ceiling fan just needs to be extended to the location of the additional ceiling fan, all installed according to code of course.
Be Careful and Be Safe - Never Work on Energized Circuits!
