What affects the price

When estimating a gas fireplace project, several variables shift the final number. The type of unit—whether you choose a direct vent, vent-free, or an insert—plays a big role. You also have to account for the labor required to run new gas lines or update venting through your walls and roof. Customizing the surround, including stone, tile, or a new mantel, adds to the material costs. If you are converting an existing wood-burning fireplace, the complexity of the chimney liner installation will impact the total. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

About this service

Your total cost involves the appliance, venting materials, and the technician's time to ensure a safe, code-compliant installation. Prices change based on the BTU output and the efficiency rating of the model you choose for your space. We assess your home and provide an exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

Summer is the smartest time to plan a new fireplace installation or replacement.

It is the perfect opportunity to renovate your fireplace surround or upgrade to a more efficient model while you aren't reliant on it for daily heat.
