What affects the price

The final price for a new gas fireplace depends on a few moving parts. First, you have to consider whether you are installing a unit into an existing chimney or creating a new opening in a wall, which adds labor. The type of venting required and the current proximity of your gas lines also play a big role in the complexity of the install. Aesthetic choices, like premium stone surrounds or remote-controlled flame features, will adjust the total as well.

About this service

If your gas fireplace isn’t igniting, produces a weak flame, or has a strange odor, it is time for a professional repair. This service involves troubleshooting the pilot light, checking the thermopile or thermocouple, and inspecting gas valves for leaks or blockages. You need this if your unit has stopped functioning correctly or fails to turn on when you use your remote or wall switch. We provide expert diagnostics to get your heat back up and running. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

Many people think about fireplaces only in the cold, but summer is actually a great time to schedule an installation. Since demand is lower, you can often get your project finished without the long wait times seen during the peak winter months, making sure you are ready before the first frost arrives.
