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

Repair services are necessary when your fireplace fails to ignite, has a pilot light that won't stay lit, or shows signs of soot buildup.

You should call for help the moment you notice a gas odor or if the unit stops performing reliably. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
