Fireplace Installation Cost

Fireplaces make a wonderful addition to any home. They increase a home’s value, add to the decor of a room, and even function as a supplemental heating source. Many options are available to choose from, including fuel sources, shape, mounting, and design, allowing you to customize your fireplace’s appearance.

The cost of your fireplace depends on the fuel source you choose, the material for the mantle, the style, and the placement. But on average, homeowners pay between $3,000 and $20,000 to have a fireplace installed. Most pay around $15,000 for a wood-burning fireplace with a tile surround and a tempered glass door, with a new chimney and flue in an existing home. Costs run from as low as $700 for an ethanol, freestanding fireplace with no mantle or surround to as high as $30,000 for a masonry, wood-burning fireplace with a granite surround and hearth, and ceramic glass door, along with a three flue chimney in an existing home.
