Calculate the cost of installing a gas fireplace or a heating stove (Freestanding or Fireplace Insert).

Gas fireplaces and stoves are a great and efficient way to have a powerful heating system, as well as add coziness and comfort to your home.

Gas heating stoves can be freestanding, so you can install them in any place inside your home where you have a gas line, or inside an existing fireplace. Gas stoves can be vented or even vent-free!
