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.
