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

When calculating the cost for an insert, we look at the condition of your chimney, the necessary safety modifications, and the type of fuel source you prefer. Labor costs are influenced by the amount of time required to seal the unit and ensure it vents correctly according to safety codes. Since every chimney is built differently, we assess your site to determine the total effort involved. We provide exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

Fall is when everyone starts thinking about their fireplace again. Our schedule fills up very quickly as the air gets crisp. If you are planning to have a unit installed before the holidays, it is best to reach out as soon as possible. We prioritize these installations to make sure you have a functional, cozy hearth when the real cold settles in.
