Electric fireplace installation cost — Phoenix, AZ
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. We can discuss your project details and get exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
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. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
Summer might seem unusual for fireplace work, but it is actually the most efficient time to renovate. Contractors are often less busy, meaning you get more attention and faster installation times. By tackling this project now, you skip the waitlists that pop up once the temperature drops. You will be fully prepared well before the first frost arrives.

If a new propane line is needed, it must be installed by a qualified technician according to code. The venting system must be correctly installed to ensure safe exhaust of combustion gases. A thorough leak test of the propane connections and a functional check of the fireplace are mandatory before completion.

What is the cost of a wood fireplace installation?
The cost of a wood fireplace installation depends heavily on whether it's a factory-built zero-clearance unit or a traditional masonry fireplace. Factory-built units are generally less expensive and require less structural support, though proper venting is still essential. Masonry fireplaces involve significant labor and material costs for brick, mortar, and a robust chimney structure. Additional factors influencing cost include any necessary structural reinforcements, finishing materials for the surround and hearth, and the complexity of the venting system.
