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.

What is the 2 + 10 rule for fireplaces?
The 2+10 rule is a safety standard for chimneys. It requires the chimney to extend at least two feet above the highest point of the building it passes through. Additionally, it must be at least ten feet away horizontally from any part of the building it penetrates. This ensures proper draft and smoke dispersal away from the structure.
