Cost of electric fireplace installation — Houston, TX
Last updated: September 24, 2026
What affects the price
When you start planning a fireplace installation, the final bill depends on a few major factors. Choosing between a simple electric unit, a gas insert, or a full wood-burning masonry build creates the biggest difference in cost. You also have to consider the existing setup of your home; running new gas lines or venting through a roof will naturally add labor hours compared to a straightforward swap. Finishing materials like custom stonework or mantel pieces also shift the total.

Price depends on whether you are opting for a simple wall-mount unit or a recessed installation that requires framing and drywall work. If you need a new dedicated electrical circuit run to the fireplace location, that will add to the labor cost. We provide exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
Most people do not think about fireplaces in the summer, which makes it the best time for a stress-free installation. You will likely find more convenient appointment times and faster project turnaround.
