Fireplace Insert Installation
Boost heating efficiency and reduce energy costs with a professionally installed gas, wood, or electric fireplace insert.
An open masonry fireplace sends up to 90 percent of its heat up the chimney. A fireplace insert captures that heat and returns it to your living space. Eco Grizzly installs gas, wood-burning, pellet, and electric inserts from leading manufacturers, complete with new flue liners, trim kits, and remote controls.

Gas inserts offer convenience with a flip-of-a-switch flame and adjustable thermostatic controls. Wood-burning inserts deliver high BTU output for serious heat. Pellet inserts burn compressed wood pellets with automated feed systems. Electric inserts require no venting and are ideal for decorative applications or condominiums.
Why Choose an Insert
Inserts reduce heating costs by 20 to 40 percent compared to an open fireplace. They also eliminate drafts, reduce creosote buildup, and improve indoor air quality by sealing the combustion chamber from your living space.
Our Installation Process
We measure your firebox opening, confirm clearances, and help you select the right insert size and fuel type. Installation includes sliding the insert into the firebox, connecting a new stainless steel flue liner from the insert collar to the chimney top, installing the surround trim panel, and testing the unit for proper draft and combustion. The entire process typically takes four to six hours.

Fireplace Inserts FAQs
Common questions answered by our certified technicians.
In most cases, yes. Gas and wood inserts require a properly sized stainless steel liner for safe operation. We include liner installation in every insert quote.
Gas inserts range from $2,500 to $5,500 installed. Wood-burning inserts range from $3,000 to $6,000. Electric inserts are the most affordable at $1,000 to $3,000. All prices include the liner, trim, and installation labor.
Many modern inserts produce 30,000 to 70,000 BTUs, enough to heat 1,000 to 2,500 square feet. Fan kits and ductwork options can distribute heat to adjacent rooms. We help you select the right BTU rating for your space.
