HOME CARE CHIMNEY INCHave had them out 3 times to fixed a gas fireplace in the last six months. This last time we spent $500 to have the fireplace fixed and it lasted for two weeks. Despite that they’ll never come and look at the fireplace without charging $175 to walk in the door. They’ve given us no information...

Cregger Plumbing, Heating & CoolingMark finished the entire project while we were out of town. It was exactly what we had talked about. Every detail was as I had asked for it to be.

I first contacted Indoor Comfort several months ago when we were planning our propane to natural gas conversion. We contacted three heating and cooling companies to get quotes, all from Angie's List. Indoor Comfort was the only company willing to convert our existing water heater - the other...
Indoor Comfort Heating & CoolingOnly company we could find who agreed to check and repair gas fireplace. The visit included checking the roof around the chimney and status of the chimney flue.

Dr SweepWe went to the showroom. It was untidy. We waited for the lady at the desk to finish with a customer. There was lots of chatting. Five gas logs were on display.

This is a great company. I cannot praise Billy, the service person, enough. He is very through, very neat (takes shoes off and on), and answers all my questions. He spent 2 hours servicing a unit with no problems. He not only checked and cleaned everything, but turned on my 2 gas fireplaces...

"Critical: Professionalism, Value I called Omega to check out smoke transfer between flues. Al quoted flue top dampers at $900 each and cleanings at $300 each. He said he would need to schedule a day to do the work. Thinking this must be an extensive project, I bought it. Ten days later I finally was called to say they would come that afternoon to do it. After the cleaning they glued dampers to the tops of the flues and were done in about 45 minutes. Al defended his $750/hour labor rate and double cleaning rate, saying it was due to his "high overhead" costs that I didn't understand. I still don't understand. Omega Construction is aptly named, they are the last one you should think of calling. They apparently only maintain their good BBB rating because the BBB doesn't consider "pricing issues" or "buyer's remorse" in their calculations. BBB is basically another way to advertise."

Hi, I’m Mrs. Michael, and when you need something repaired, We wanna be your guy. Back when I was raising two babies, my husband and I started a plumbing company, an electrical company, AND a heating and air company. Mr. Michael is a genius with tools, but he did NOT enjoy running 3 big companies, so he asked me to do it. Turns out, I LOVE it!! I believe that if we make your problems disappear quick and easy, then when someone you know needs something repaired you’ll say: “I’ve got a guy! . . . Her name is Mrs. Michael.”
"Had this group update our electric panel and received great service from start to finish. Team took their time going over multiple options and we made the decision that made the most sense for our home. Thanks to everyone involved!"

"I've had Shoner out for 3 different jobs now....I didn't want to have a plumber out, but it was necessary. I did some research and ultimately hired Shoner, and it was a great decision. Their prices were very fair, and they did excellent work. The plumber who has completed all of our jobs (Alex) was great - very timely in responses/communication, seems very knowledgeable, explained things clearly, and was fair about what repairs are actually needed (i.e., not trying to "upsell" or overstate what is needed). I would highly recommend Shoner for your plumbing needs!"

Fixing a gas leak costs about $45 to $150 per hour for a plumber or gas line specialist. The job’s overall cost will vary depending on the location of the leak. A leaky junction or connection behind the stove or dryer will likely cost about $120 to $170. But for a leak that requires a gas fitter or plumber to excavate a pipe in the yard, the cost could rise to $1,500 to $5,000. Keep in mind that gas leaks are very serious issues, so don’t hesitate to contact a plumber or gas line specialist immediately.
The cost to install a fireplace is $2,440 on average. This cost can range from $150 to $8,000 or more, depending on the type of fireplace, the materials used, and the size.
Electric fireplaces cost around $1,000 to install, and mostly only require wiring installation. Installing a wood fireplace from scratch could cost upwards of $10,000, depending on the foundation needed to support the weight of the fireplace. In addition, gas fireplaces can cost between $2,500 and $10,000.
The cost to remodel your fireplace is $1,200 on average. This cost can range from $400 to $2,000, depending on the extent of work needed.
If you add a hearth to your fireplace, you can expect to pay between $3 and $200 per square foot. However, if you're refacing your fireplace, the price tag will depend on your chosen materials. If choosing tile, you can pay between $1 and $50 per square foot, depending on the design. Stone is a more expensive material, averaging between $60 and $70 per square foot.
Yes, it can be worth installing a gas fireplace, depending on your home heating needs. The cost to install a gas fireplace can be much lower than the cost to install a comparable wood-burning fireplace. The convenience of starting a fire with the flip of a switch and turning it off just as quickly makes a gas fireplace a big time saver over starting and maintaining a wood-fueled fire. A gas fireplace also does not require ash cleanup or frequent chimney cleaning to remove creosote and other buildup that can lead to chimney fires. Gas fireplaces burn and heat much more cleanly than wood fireplaces.
A gas fireplace insert costs about $3,600 to install, on average. The cost to install a gas log insert ranges from about $700 to $6,500, depending on the size, type of insert, how it works, and heating needs. Gas fireplaces need electrical and gas lines installed properly, so hiring a pro is recommended rather than trying to DIY installation.
From average costs to expert advice, get all the answers you need to get your job done.
