What affects the price
The final cost of a wood fireplace depends on several key variables. First, consider the complexity of the installation, specifically if you require new chimney venting or structural modifications to your wall. The size and heat output capacity of the unit also play a major role, as larger models naturally cost more to source. Choosing between a prefabricated insert and a custom masonry build changes the labor intensity significantly. You might also add custom finishes, such as stone or brick surrounds, which adjust the total investment. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

What type of wood is best for burning in a fireplace in Davenport?
For burning in your Davenport fireplace, using seasoned hardwood is highly recommended. Woods like oak, maple, and hickory, when properly dried (seasoned for at least six months), burn hotter and cleaner than softwoods. This reduces creosote buildup in your chimney, a key factor in preventing chimney fires. Avoid burning green wood, treated lumber, or trash, as these can cause inefficient burning and produce harmful emissions.
