Electric fireplace installation cost — Memphis, TN
Last updated: September 24, 2026
What affects the price
Fireplace pricing depends on your specific setup. If you already have a gas line or a chimney in place, the work is much simpler and cheaper. Installing from scratch requires more labor, including framing, venting, and finishing work with stone or tile. The type of unit—whether it is gas, wood, or electric—also changes the budget significantly. Larger units or custom hearth designs naturally add to the cost compared to basic inserts.

About this service
This cost is determined by the complexity of the mounting or framing required for your electric unit. A simple wall-mounted unit is usually less expensive to install than a recessed model that requires drywall work and electrical upgrades. If your project involves custom cabinetry or significant electrical wiring, your total will increase. While prices vary, they are typically in the hundreds to low thousands.
