Cost of electric fireplace installation — Washington, DC
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.

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.
