What affects the price

When you're looking at a new fireplace, the bottom line depends on a few specific things. First, are we working with an existing chimney or venting system, or does everything need to be built from scratch? The type of fuel matters too—gas, electric, or wood-burning units all carry different installation requirements. You also have to consider the finish work, like custom stonework, mantels, or drywall repairs around the unit. Labor complexity is the biggest factor here. We’ll get you the exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

About this service

The price to install an electric fireplace is determined by the complexity of the mount and any electrical work needed.

You may also see price changes if you choose a custom mantel or stone finish to complete the look. We assess your specific layout to give you a clear estimate.
