Cost of a gas fireplace insert — Hampton, VA
Last updated: September 24, 2026
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.

What is a gas stove?
A gas stove is a kitchen appliance that uses natural gas or propane to cook food. It typically features burners on the stovetop for boiling, simmering, and frying, and often includes an oven below for baking and roasting. Gas stoves are popular for their precise temperature control and responsive heat. They require a connection to a gas supply and proper ventilation. Many modern gas stoves also come with features like electronic ignition and safety valves.
What is a ventless gas fireplace insert?
A ventless gas fireplace insert is designed to operate without a direct connection to an exterior venting system. It releases combustion byproducts, including water vapor, directly into the room. While they are simpler to install and can be more efficient as they don't lose heat through venting, it's crucial to ensure adequate room ventilation to manage moisture and maintain air quality. They are not permitted in all areas.
