Common Questions About Fireplace Installation
How much does fireplace installation cost?
It depends on the unit and the venting, so we price it per home instead of quoting a national average. Every product page on this site has an instant estimate that includes the fireplace, the vent kit, and installation. Gas line work, framing, and finish work are added after the pre-site visit.
How long does a fireplace installation take?
Most gas insert and stove installs are finished in a day. Zero-clearance fireplaces that need framing, venting through the roof, and finish work take longer, and we give you the timeline at the pre-site visit.
Can you install a gas insert in my existing wood-burning fireplace?
Yes. That is the most common fireplace installation we do. The insert slides into your firebox, vents through a new stainless liner in the chimney, and turns an open fireplace into an efficient heater.
Do I need a permit to install a fireplace?
Permit rules vary by county and by the type of work, especially gas lines and new venting. Ask during the pre-site visit and we will tell you what applies to your address.
Do you install what you sell?
Yes. The same company sells, installs, and services your fireplace, so there is one number to call from the showroom visit to the first fire.
