Can you add a ceiling fan with lights?
I have a ceiling fan in my living room that doesn’t have lights. Can I easily install a ceiling fan with lighting? What would I have to do to add lighting in my living room? There is no overhead lights at all. It is a house, not an apartment.

There are light kits available that will work with most ceiling fans. If you have a cap on the bottom of your fan that is about 4" in diameter and is held on by 2 screws, you can pick one up. There will be a wire harness inside with a blue and a white wire. The blue is hot, the white neutral. You may have to take the fan down part way to get access to the ceiling box and connect the blue wire to the hot from the switch. Connect it with the black from the fan and you will be set.
If you do not have a fan that will allow a light kit, you will need a new fan. I’m guessing that you only have one hot switch wire, so you may want to pick up a fan with a remote. The remote will have separate controls for the light and fan, which will allow you to control it without having to pull the chains. Hope this helps.
Yes, you might be able to add lights to your existing fan if not you can put a fan up with lights
Yes you can. With some fans you can just add the light kit. Get the model number and make and go to a lighting place and talk to the people there. They can advise you if you need a light kit or a new fan. Since you already have the electricity there you are good to go.
