What affects the price

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.
About this service
Burning the right wood is essential for safety and heat. You should only use seasoned, dry hardwood that has been split and stored for months. Using wet or unseasoned wood creates dangerous creosote buildup in your chimney, which increases the risk of fires. While we don't sell firewood, we can inspect your fireplace to ensure it is vented correctly for the wood you intend to burn. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
During the summer, your fireplace typically stays dormant, but it is actually the perfect time for upgrades. Since demand is lower, you can often find better scheduling availability for major projects like installing a new insert or repairing masonry work. By finishing these updates now, you avoid the stress of working on your hearth during the colder seasons.
