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.

About this service

This price depends heavily on the fuel type—gas, wood, or electric—and the amount of retrofitting needed for your existing fireplace box. You will also see price differences based on the size of the unit and the finish materials used to seal the surround. We focus on ensuring the insert fits perfectly to maximize efficiency. 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.
