Frequently Asked Questions

How much will it cost to install a gas fireplace in Charlottesville?

Every installation is tailored to fit your home, so the final cost varies based on several factors. These include the fireplace model and trim you select, the length of the vent run and whether a chase needs to be built, the distance to your natural gas line or if a propane tank is required, the finish materials such as tile, stone, mantel, and hearth supplies, as well as any local permitting and inspection fees.

After a quick home visit, Acme provides a detailed written quote covering all costs. Call (434)-971-6777 or schedule a free design consultation to get an accurate price for your Charlottesville-area project.

Is a permit required for installing a new fireplace?

Yes, Charlottesville and nearby counties like Albemarle, Greene, and Fluvanna require permits for fireplace installation. Our team handles all permit submissions and follows the Virginia Residential Code R1001 for fireplaces, as well as the International Mechanical Code (IMC) for venting.

Will a gas fireplace heat an entire house?

A direct-vent fireplace can heat up to 2,500 square feet, but heating an entire home typically needs multiple zones or a main furnace.
