Cost of electric fireplace installation — Columbia, SC

Last updated: September 24, 2026

What affects the price

When you're looking at a new fireplace, the bottom line depends on a few specific things. First, are we working with an existing chimney or venting system, or does everything need to be built from scratch? The type of fuel matters too—gas, electric, or wood-burning units all carry different installation requirements. You also have to consider the finish work, like custom stonework, mantels, or drywall repairs around the unit. Labor complexity is the biggest factor here. We’ll get you the exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

About this service

Electric fireplace installation is often the most straightforward option because it generally does not require gas lines or venting. Costs fluctuate based on whether you are mounting a unit on the wall, building a recessed frame, or adding a surround. If your project requires adding a new electrical outlet or upgrading your home's wiring to handle the heater, those tasks will add to the labor hours. We provide exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

Fall is when everyone starts thinking about their fireplace again. Our schedule fills up very quickly as the air gets crisp. If you are planning to have a unit installed before the holidays, it is best to reach out as soon as possible. We prioritize these installations to make sure you have a functional, cozy hearth when the real cold settles in.
