How Much Does It Cost to Install a Fireplace?

Adding a fireplace to your home or outdoor space creates instant warmth, ambiance, and style. But before making the leap, it’s natural to wonder: How much does it cost to install a fireplace?

If you're planning to upgrade your patio or garden with a beautiful fire feature, SUNJOY offers a wide range of wood burning fireplaces designed for DIY-friendly installation—without the hefty price tag. Whether you're going for a cozy corner fireplace, a bold modern stone fireplace, or simply want to enjoy evenings around the fire, here’s what you need to know about costs and options.

What’s the Cost of Installing an Outdoor Fireplace?

Unlike custom masonry builds that can cost $3,000–$10,000+, SUNJOY’s outdoor fireplace collection offers affordable solutions starting at just $470. Most of our outdoor wood burning fireplaces range between $470 and $2,000, depending on the size, design, and materials.

SUNJOY Fireplace Pricing Breakdown:

Product Type	Price Range
Compact Fireplaces	$470 – $800
Mid-Sized Models	$800 – $1,500
Premium Stone or Steel Units	$1,500 – $2,000

These options include freestanding fireplaces, modern stone fireplace designs, and models with chimneys, fire grates, and integrated wood storage—perfect for entertaining or relaxing outdoors.

What Impacts Fireplace Cost?

Several factors affect the overall price and installation process:

1. Type and Size

Larger fireplaces require more materials and a solid base, but SUNJOY’s modular construction means even premium models can be assembled with basic tools.

2. Materials

Natural stone and powder-coated steel increase both aesthetics and durability. Our modern stone fireplaces offer luxury looks at accessible prices.

3. Location & Surface

Installing your fireplace on an existing patio or deck is simple and low-cost. For uneven terrain, additional leveling may be needed.

Additional Costs to Keep in Mind

Even with an affordable fireplace, you should budget for a few extras to complete the experience:

Fireplace Tool Set: A must-have for managing wood and ash safely. Most sets range from $50–$150.

Fireplace Cleaning: Routine fireplace cleaning keeps your unit performing safely. Expect to pay $100–$300/year for professional cleaning (optional for outdoor units, but recommended).

Base or Pad Installation: If placing on grass or dirt, you may need a stone or concrete base for stability ($100–$300 depending on size).
