How Much Does It Cost to Install a Gas Fireplace in Vancouver?
What Affects Gas Fireplace Cost
The fireplace type matters most: a gas insert that fits into an existing masonry fireplace is usually the most affordable, while a built-in (zero-clearance) unit installed in a new wall, or a freestanding stove, costs more. The big installation variables are venting (running a new vent through the wall or roof) and the gas line — extending gas to a new location adds labour and materials.
Finishing work — the surround, mantel, and trim — also influences the total, as does any required framing or electrical for a fan and controls.
Inserts vs Built-Ins
If you have an old wood-burning fireplace, a gas insert is often the most cost-effective way to gain clean, efficient gas heat using the existing opening and chimney for venting. Building a brand-new fireplace where none exists requires framing, venting, and gas, so it sits higher in the range.

Is a gas insert cheaper than a new built-in fireplace?
Usually yes — an insert uses your existing fireplace opening and chimney, reducing venting and framing work, so it is typically the most affordable option.
Does the price include the gas line?
A complete HeatLand quote includes connecting the gas line. Running gas a long distance to a new location adds cost, which we detail upfront.
Are there rebates for gas fireplaces?
