Common questions about costs and estimates for this service.
The average cost to install a fireplace varies significantly by type. A gas fireplace typically costs from $2,300 to $10,000, a traditional wood-burning fireplace ranges from $1,900 to $3,300, and an electric fireplace can be $200 to $3,000+ installed. Building a masonry fireplace is generally between $3,500 and $5,600. These prices typically include the flue, vent, or chimney.
The cost to install a new fireplace depends on the type you choose, ranging from $941 to $12,000. Installing a small pre-made fireplace unit will be considerably cheaper than constructing a large, bespoke stone fireplace.
Yes, gas fireplace inserts can qualify for a federal Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit if they meet the IRS-mandated efficiency rating of 75% or higher. Homeowners installing a qualifying unit can claim 30% of the cost (up to $2,000 per year) by filing IRS Form 5695.
Vented or vent-free gas logs can cost anywhere from $500 to $2500 to install. Vent-free gas logs are often slightly more expensive than vented ones. Gas inserts tend to cost $2,000 to $5,500. Additional costs may apply if a gas line needs to be moved to your fireplace.
Labor costs are influenced by the complexity of the installation, the type of fireplace unit (electric units require less labor than masonry builds), the extent of structural modifications needed, and the specific skills required (e.g., gas line work, bricklaying). For example, overall labor for professional installation can range from $225 for electric units to $2,180 for more complex systems.
