Wood-burning fireplace installation cost — Memphis, TN
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.
About this service
Wood-burning installations require heavy-duty venting and fireproof wall construction to meet safety standards. The cost is often higher than gas due to the complexity of the chimney system and the masonry work required to protect your home. Projects vary significantly depending on whether you are using a pre-fabricated kit or a custom build.
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. It is the perfect window to handle masonry or venting work while the weather is dry and clear, keeping the process clean and efficient for your home.
