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.
Labor costs are primarily influenced by the type of fireplace (electric being lowest, complex masonry being highest), the complexity of the venting and gas line connections, and the amount of construction or structural work required.
