Common Questions
Fireplace Installation FAQs
How long does fireplace installation typically take?
Fireplace installation time varies significantly depending on the type of fireplace being installed. A simple electric fireplace insert can be installed in just a few hours, while a full masonry wood-burning fireplace can take several days to weeks. Gas fireplace installations typically take one to two days when venting and gas lines are already in place. Always get a detailed timeline from your contractor before beginning the project.
What is the lifespan of a gas fireplace?
A well-maintained gas fireplace can last 15 to 25 years or more. The longevity depends on the quality of the unit, frequency of use, and regularity of professional servicing. Key components like thermocouples, thermopiles, and gas valves may need to be replaced over time. Annual inspections help identify worn parts before they become serious problems.
Do electric fireplaces produce real heat?
Yes, electric fireplaces produce real heat through electric heating elements or infrared technology. Most standard models produce between 4,000 and 5,000 BTUs, which is enough to heat approximately 400 square feet. Infrared models are particularly effective because they heat objects and people in the room rather than just the air. However, they are not designed to be whole-home heating solutions.
Do gas fireplaces require electricity to operate?
Most modern gas fireplaces use electricity for ignition and to power fans, thermostats, and remote controls. However, many models have battery backup ignition systems that allow operation during a power outage. The flame itself is fueled by gas, so the fireplace can often still provide heat even without electricity. Check the specific model’s features to understand its power requirements.
What is the lifespan of an electric fireplace?
Most electric fireplaces are designed to last 10 to 20 years with proper care and maintenance. LED flame components can last up to 50,000 hours before needing replacement. Heating elements are generally durable but may require replacement over time. Keeping the unit clean and following manufacturer maintenance guidelines will maximize its lifespan.
What types of fireplaces can I have installed in my home?
There are several types of fireplaces available, including wood-burning, gas, and electric. Wood-burning fireplaces offer a traditional experience but require a chimney and regular maintenance. Gas fireplaces are popular for their convenience and efficiency, while electric fireplaces are the easiest to install with no venting required. Your choice will depend on your home’s existing infrastructure, budget, and personal preference.
What is the difference between a masonry and a prefabricated wood-burning fireplace?
A masonry fireplace is built on-site using brick, stone, or concrete block and is considered a permanent structural element. Prefabricated (or factory-built) fireplaces are manufactured units designed for easier installation within a home’s framing. Masonry fireplaces are more durable and can last the lifetime of the home but are significantly more expensive. Prefabricated units are more affordable and quicker to install but have a shorter lifespan of 20–30 years.

★★★★★
Very nice and professional technicians. They texted to let me know exactly when they would arrive so I was not stuck at home waiting out a long time window. They covered all the areas they walked on and worked on to minimize any debris left behind. The technicians were informative and explained how my new fireplace worked. I would highly recommend The Fire Factory to anyone looking to replace their old log set! My new Eiklor Rocky Mountain Split Burnt Logs look amazing and installation took less than 2 hours.
