What affects the price

When you are looking at wood fireplaces, the final cost depends on several moving parts. Choosing between a pre-fabricated insert and a custom masonry build is the biggest factor. 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.

Will a wood-burning fireplace heat a house in Ontario?

A wood-burning fireplace can provide significant supplemental heat, especially for the room it's located in. For heating an entire house in Ontario, particularly larger homes, you might need a more powerful wood stove or a combination of heating systems. Its effectiveness depends on the unit's size and your home's insulation.

Are wood-burning fireplace inserts worth it for Ontario homes?

Wood-burning fireplace inserts are generally a worthwhile investment. They dramatically improve the efficiency of existing masonry fireplaces, turning them into effective heating sources.
