How much does it cost to install a fireplace? The cost to install a fireplace depends on several factors, such as the type, size, material, fuel source, and location of the fireplace. At Noble Garden Design, all our fire pits are custom-built. None are big box store off-the-shelf products.
- Type: Firepits can be inground or above-ground, built-in or portable, custom, or prefab.
- Size: The size of the fireplace determines how much material and labor are needed to build it. Larger firepits require more labor and more materials. The average size of a fireplace is 36” in diameter; some can be as large as 48” and 60” in diameter.
- Material: The material of the fireplace affects its durability, appearance, and maintenance.
- Fuel source: The fuel source of the firepit determines how easy it is to use, how much heat it produces, and how safe it is. Common fuel sources for firepits are wood, propane and natural gas. Wood and charcoal firepits are more traditional and natural, but also smoky and messy. Propane and natural gas firepits are more convenient and cleaner, but also more expensive and require gas lines.
- Location: The location of the fireplace affects its accessibility, safety, and aesthetics.
Installing an outdoor fireplace should be done away from the house, trees, plants, and other flammable objects. They should also be placed on a level and stable surface, such as gravel, pavers, or concrete. These are some of the factors that influence the cost of installing a fireplace.
- Bottom line: the cost of a professionally installed wood-burning fire pit, 36” diameter, made from stone, will have a baseline price of $5,000.00. Add a gas line and electronic ignition you can add another $4,000.00.
