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

The price for a gas fireplace insert varies based on the size of the unit, the complexity of your existing chimney venting, and the specific features you choose, such as remote controls or blower fans. Labor requirements for gas line installation also play a role. 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.
