What affects the price

You also have to think about venting requirements, the type of chimney lining needed, and the finish materials like stone or brick veneer. If your home needs structural modifications to meet current safety codes, that will add to the labor hours. We look at your specific setup to provide a clear path forward.

Frequently asked in Columbus

Is it worth it to have a wood-burning fireplace?

The aesthetic appeal and the comforting heat of a wood-burning fireplace are significant draws for many Columbus residents. While it can provide supplemental heat, it's typically not intended as a sole heating source. A pro can help you determine if the benefits align with your expectations for your home.

What is the most efficient wood-burning fireplace?

Modern, EPA-certified wood stoves and inserts are designed for high efficiency, burning fuel more completely and producing more heat with fewer emissions. These are a significant improvement over older, open-hearth designs. Inquire with the specialist who visits your Columbus home about these advanced options.

How expensive is a wood-burning fireplace?

Will a wood-burning fireplace heat a house?

A wood-burning fireplace is excellent for heating the room it's in and can contribute to warming adjacent spaces in your Columbus home. For comprehensive whole-house heating, it's usually best used in conjunction with your primary heating system. A pro can advise on the heating output of different units.

Are wood-burning fireplace inserts worth it?

Inserts are often a smart choice for improving the efficiency of an existing fireplace. They're designed to fit inside your current firebox and direct more heat into the room, reducing heat loss up the chimney. This can be a cost-effective upgrade for many Columbus homes.
