Prices typically rise when you select built-in models that require framing, or units featuring advanced flame technology and realistic ember beds. The size of the fireplace, the heat output capacity, and the materials used for the surround—like stone, wood, or metal finishes—also play a major role in the overall cost. Whether you want a simple plug-in insert or a custom-designed media console, the features you prioritize will determine your total.
