Best Answer

The cost to change your existing fireplace into a gas fireplace will vary a great deal depending on your local economy.

You have 4 factors to consider:

1. Do you have propane or natural gas?

2. The price of the gas log and burner kit that YOU should supply the plumber.

3. Is your gas log fireplace supposed to be vented or not?

4. How far away is the closest gas supply to your fireplace?

The plumber will have to run a gas line to your fireplace, drill the fireplace and install the gas logs and possibly close the flu or vent in your existing chimney. That will be anywhere from 3 to 6 hours of labor, depending on all of the above items. Each house is different. Remember though, once you convert, you can no longer burn wood in your fireplace. I would guess the total cost could be as low as $400 or as high as $1000, but most plumbers would give you a free estimate.

Contact a few licensed Plumbing contractors in your area and get a few estimates.
