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.

Factors that shift this price include whether you need to run new gas lines, the type of venting required, and the complexity of the custom surround or masonry work involved. Larger units or those requiring extensive structural modification will sit at the higher end of the spectrum. We provide exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
