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.
The cost of adding an insert depends on the size of the existing firebox and the type of insert you choose, such as gas, wood, or electric. Professional installation involves measuring the opening, ensuring the chimney is safe, and securing the unit for proper airflow. If custom metal work is needed to fit the insert into an irregular opening, that will impact the final total. We provide exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
