About this service

The price for a gas fireplace insert depends on the size of the unit, the complexity of the venting installation, and the features you choose, such as remote controls or blower fans. Larger units designed to heat more square footage typically cost more than smaller, decorative models. Existing masonry conditions can also influence the total labor required for the install. We provide an itemized breakdown based on your specific home setup, with exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

Many homeowners ignore their fireplace during the summer, but this is actually the best time to schedule an installation. Since demand is lower, you will likely find more flexibility in scheduling crews. You can get the project finished and out of the way, ensuring your home is ready to go the moment the first chilly breeze arrives.
