The cost of fireplace installation in Gauteng varies by type, brand, and complexity, ranging from R5,000 to R35,000. We offer competitive quotes based on site assessments.

Choosing the Right Fireplace: Benefits of Each Type & What to Know Before You Install

Installing a fireplace isn’t just about staying warm — it’s about creating comfort, saving energy, and adding style to your home. At Gauteng Fireplace Experts, we’ve helped hundreds of homeowners across the province choose and install fireplaces that suit their lifestyle, space, and budget.

Here’s a simple breakdown of the different types of fireplaces, their benefits, and what you should think about before getting one installed.

Wood-Burning Fireplaces

Why people love them:

There’s nothing quite like the crackle of real logs and the smell of wood smoke.
They give off a lot of heat, especially the newer closed-combustion types.
Perfect for load shedding — no power needed!

Things to keep in mind:

You’ll need a chimney or a proper flue system.
Wood needs to be stored somewhere dry.
Regular cleaning is important to keep it safe and efficient.

Gas Fireplaces

Why they’re popular:

Super convenient — just switch it on and enjoy the heat.
Clean burning, no ash or soot to deal with.
Comes in different styles, including wall-mounted and built-in options.

Before you install:

You’ll need a gas connection (natural gas or LPG).
Annual safety checks are a must.
Ventless gas units still need proper ventilation.

Electric Fireplaces

Best for:

Townhouses, apartments, or homes where adding a flue isn’t practical.
Easy DIY-friendly installations — most just plug in.
Great for adding ambiance and a bit of heat.

Be aware:

They don’t heat large rooms as well as gas or wood.
They need electricity, so not the best during load shedding.

Ethanol Fireplaces

Why people choose them:

No chimney or venting needed.
Clean-burning and eco-friendly.
Stylish and modern — fits almost anywhere.

Worth noting:

More decorative than functional — not a big heat source.
You’ll need to keep buying ethanol fuel.
Not ideal for very cold areas as a main heating option.

Pellet Fireplaces

Why they’re a smart choice:

Burn efficiently and produce very little smoke.
Easy to control and some models can be programmed.
Great if you want something eco-conscious that still heats well.

Before you decide:

You’ll need electricity to run the feed system.
Pellets must be kept dry.
They cost more upfront, but you save on fuel long-term.

What to Think About Before Installing a Fireplace

Choosing a fireplace isn’t one-size-fits-all. Here’s what we always ask customers to think about:

Room Size: Bigger spaces may need more heat than an electric fireplace can give. We’ll help you find the right match.
Ventilation: Gas and wood fireplaces need airflow. Flats or townhouses may be better with electric or ethanol models.
Building Rules: Some installations require approval, especially gas or chimney setups. We handle that part for you.
Fuel Access: Think about what’s easy for you to get — gas bottles, wood, electricity, or pellets.
Your Style: Classic and cozy? Modern and sleek? We can help you pick something that fits your home.
Your Budget: Installation costs can vary. We offer honest quotes and options that work with your pocket.
