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.

The cost to install a gas insert depends on your home’s venting setup, the size of the unit, and any necessary gas line modifications. You will need this service if you are looking to convert an existing wood-burning masonry fireplace into a more efficient, cleaner-burning gas system.
