The most expensive part of that operation will not be the fireplace, if you buy a commercial freestanding one that is. What usually cost the most is the chimney pipe, and installation accessories. I live in a 2 story house and it cost about $1200 for the insulated chimney pipe alone three times the cost of the free standing fireplace! The pipe runs about $100 for a 3 foot section.

Dear Texas, I can guess that you have a one story house. If so, you can have a direct vent fireplace with the pipes going through the wall, or a fireplace with pipe sections that go to the roof and out. Then the size of the firebox is a issue too.. the bigger the more bucks you spend. There is the effort to install the box and build around it and a hearth and if you have to hire someone or you can do it yourself. About 2,000.00 will get you into a no frills fireplace. The decision and what you want are up to you. Many fireplace centers can give you a lot of advice and maybe install it for you too... Good Luck
