Average Cost of Gas Fireplace and Installation<\/h2>\n
You can expect to pay between $390 to $1,790 for most gas log fireplace installations. On the low end, DIY is common when a gas line is already in place or you are replacing an existing set of gas logs. For high end gas fireplace logs, the cost can go up to as high as $3,100 or more.<\/p>\n
When hiring a local contractor to do the job, expect them to provide advice on the type of logs (vented or non-vented logs) that best suit your home and chimney requirements. Once the logs are chosen the contractor will likely clean your chimney and may install a stainless chimney liner if required.<\/p>\n

It does not cover costs for adding a free-standing gas fireplace.<\/p>\n <\/img><\/p>\n Gas logs are a staple of new homes, in favor of the older wood burning fireplaces. While some homeowners may prefer the smell and appearance of a traditional wood fireplace, gas fireplace logs are much easier to light, cleaner to run, can provide more heat to your home, and depending on your budget, can look almost as real as their counterpart. While pellet stoves and electric fireplaces are also common, nothing reaches the popularity of gas logs for the look and heat they provide.<\/p>\n This page of Business Finance News is going to help you learn more about the features and accessories that will affect gas log retail prices and installation costs. By the time you\u2019re done reading, you\u2019ll have a good understanding of gas logs, the cost variable from vented and unvented, accessories that will add to your bottom line cost, as well as factors within your home that will help you estimate installation cost in your area. Finally, you\u2019ll get our opinion on DIY installation, as well as a comparison of purchase an installation costs from other leading sources on the web, and a table where homeowners like yourself have shared their own costs related to putting a set in the fireplace at their own home.<\/p>\n The following features and factors will help you understand why some gas fireplace logs cost more than others. Once you understand the features and how they affect the cost, you can decide if you want them or not.<\/p>\n Retail Cost Range<\/strong><\/p>\n Unless you\u2019re replacing an existing set, there will be some preparation work and installation supplies needed before you can install a set into your fireplace.<\/p>\n Installation usually requires an inspection for safety. Along with the gas line bringing fuel to the log set, venting and other factors will be inspected. If your set requires electricity, an electrical inspection may be required as well. Talk to your installer to determine if this project will require a permit or inspection.<\/p>\n The cost of installation for your gas log fireplace will be determined by several factors.<\/p>\n If you already have a set of gas logs in place, this is easily a DIY project that most handy homeowners can accomplish in just a few hours. If gas or electric lines need to be run to the fireplace, I would suggest hiring a pro to handle at least that portion of the project.<\/p>\n Regardless of which route you take, natural gas and fire are two very serious things to consider, since a faulty installation or preparations can both result in death. Even if you install your own set, you should call in a pro and pay the service call fee to inspect your work and assure you\u2019ve done it right.<\/p>\n I have installed my own logs many times, as both replacement sets and new installation. I\u2019ve always used a pro for running the gas and\/or electrical lines, as well as the initial startup and leak testing! In this case\u2026 I\u2019m going to suggest using a Pro, since you really can DIY and use a pro on one project! <\/main><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" $1,365, Installed The average cost of a gas log fireplace is around $250 for a basic set and DIY installation.
