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.

What's the difference between an electric fireplace and a regular fireplace in Minneapolis?

Electric fireplaces are generally easier to install, maintain, and offer more placement flexibility. They also don't produce ash or soot, making them cleaner.
