Q: How much does it cost to install a brick or stone fireplace?

• <div><p>Costs range from $3,500 to $15,000, depending on material, labor, and design complexity.</p></div>

Q: Do electric fireplaces give off a lot of heat?

• <div><p>Electric fireplaces give off more heat than you might think. Because they don&rsquo;t lose heat through a ventilation system, which is required for wood-burning and gas fireplaces, they&rsquo;re able to disperse more heat into the room. However, many electric fireplaces are limited to a max of 5,000 or 5,200 BTU heat output, and you can get more from traditional fireplaces. </p></div>

Q: Can a fireplace be built on an existing house?

• <div><p>You can build a fireplace on an existing house, but it&rsquo;s much easier to construct a masonry fireplace when building a new house. To add to an existing house, you&rsquo;ll need to build a chimney and ensure the foundation can support a true masonry fireplace. Alternatively, you can purchase a gas or electric fireplace insert, which isn&rsquo;t as complicated to add to an existing structure.</p></div>

Q: Who installs chimney caps?

• <div><p>Chimney caps may be installed by a few different professionals, including a chimney sweep or a mason that specializes in fireplaces and chimneys. A gas fireplace technician is the best person to install a chimney cap on a gas log fireplace vent to be sure the cap is appropriate for the application.</p></div>

Q: Do fireplace inserts increase home value?

• <div><p>Fireplace inserts can increase home value when installed correctly. Since they improve heating efficiency significantly, this will be a bonus to homeowners who are looking for a functional alternative heat source. Plus, inserts are less maintenance and less of a liability than a traditional fireplace. You&rsquo;re very likely to recover fireplace insert installation costs when you sell your home. </p></div>

My experience was excellent! I needed shiplap in my living room ND bedrooms. Also, built in fireplace with mantle, and the TV above which also meant wiring. I can't say enough about the professional work done. It turned out beautiful.

"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."

"I would definitely recommend this family owned company. I have already given their card to 4 of my friends that want work done to their fireplaces. Itâ s become difficult to find people to hire. I was a little nervous about hiring a stranger from the internet but I was hoping that my first time using Angi would work out. I have no regrets. John Dennis returned my message the very same day I contacted him through Angi. He was at my house that same week giving me an estimate. Thomas did the install. I would highly recommend him. He is very knowledgeable and explained everything he did and kindly answered all my questions. He was so thorough. He took his time to make sure that everything was perfect before he left. I am very much enjoying this gas fireplace with remote."
