Bathroom fan/light replacement?

I will be replacing my bathroom fan/light ?
The fan is becoming more loud, and I think ready to die !

Rather than replacing with the same type, I was thinking of purchasing a similiar unit, but one with a built-in heater /fan, to warm up the bathroom.

Question....... Can my current wiring handle a heater unit fan, or would this require a heavier gague romex wire to handle the voltage? Again, I'm assuming the fan/light/heater would all be controlled by the same switch?

Without checking, I'm assuming my current wiring is the typical 14/2 Romex.

Thanks,
Bigdog
