"I was impressed with Chuck from Shamrock Chimney. He was realistic in his discussion and went thru various options from converting to a gas fireplace to wood inserts. He discussed the issues with the existing field stone face and converting to a two way fireplace. He certainly made me comfortable to consider Shamrock should the project move forward."

Fireplaces questions, answered by experts

The easiest fireplace to build is an electric fireplace. These aren’t true fireplaces but can mimic the look of a traditional fireplace. True fireplaces, made of brick and stone, are complex and require professional installation; adding them to an existing home is demanding and expensive. You could spend $30,000 to have a real fireplace installed.

If you’re looking for a cost-effective alternative to a traditional chimney, consider having a dummy chimney installed. Dummy chimneys can either be aesthetic-only or fully functional and can be installed on both new and older homes. Whether installed to match your neighborhood’s aesthetic or to vent your chimney, dummy chimneys are made out of a Glass-Reinforced Plastic (GRP) core, then covered with brick or stone slips to look like a traditional chimney.

Gas fireplace repair costs an average of $600, but prices can vary widely depending on the issue, parts needed, and service provider. Simple repairs like cleaning or pilot light adjustments may cost between $75 and $200, while more significant repairs involving component replacement can cost $1,000 or more. The overall cost typically falls within the $100 to $2,500 range.

Typical price ranges for repairing different components of a gas fireplace are:

  • Thermocouple: $75 to $350

  • Thermopile: $75 to $350

  • Gas valve: $150 to $300

  • Pilot light: $100 to $350

  • Igniter: $100 to $150

  • Mantel: $500 to $1,200

  • Hearth: $150 to $800

DIY is not recommended due to safety risks. Hire professionals for proper diagnosis and repair.

A fireplace's lifespan varies significantly depending on its type, the quality of construction, the materials used, and how well it is maintained. On average, you can expect a fireplace to last between 10 and 30 years, with many homeowners experiencing major issues after about 20 years.

Here's a breakdown by type:

  • Gas Inserts: Typically last 10 to 25 years with proper maintenance.

  • Electric Fireplaces: Have a lifespan of up to 20 years.

  • Traditional Brick Fireplaces: Can last for centuries, but require ongoing maintenance and repairs, such as tuckpointing.
