Fireplace Installation in Philadelphia

Fireplaces That Fit the Home and the Life Around Them

Not every fire burns the same. Some warm small rooms on quiet mornings. Others anchor family gatherings. APS builds fireplaces that reflect how a space is used—how people live, talk, cook, and come together around heat and light. We don’t just install units. We help shape the living space around them.

• For Rowhomes and Narrow Footprints

  The right system matters when the room is tight and the walls are brick. We install electric fireplaces and gas units where venting must be precise and code-aware. Clean installs, flush fits, and quiet operation matter more when there’s only one shared wall between families. In these homes, a brand new fireplace can offer comfort without compromising on layout or airflow.

• For Larger Homes and Family Living

  In larger houses across the Philadelphia area and PA suburbs, fireplaces serve as a hub. We install wood stoves, electric stoves, and wood burning fireplaces where heat matters—zones that warm multiple rooms, work through outages, or cut down on central heating. These systems bring more than ambiance. They bring heat, resilience, and rhythm to seasonal life.

• For Outdoor Patios and Transitional Spaces

  A fireplace on the patio turns a summer space into a fall destination. We install systems that extend the usefulness of outdoor areas—giving new life to backyards, sunrooms, and porches. With the right installation process, a fire becomes the bridge between seasons, offering a place to unwind after work or share a drink with friends long after dark.

• For Homes That Begin at the Hearth

  The hearth has always been more than décor. We design and build custom fireplaces with stone, masonry, and chimney systems that bring gravity to a room. Whether you’re preserving an existing fireplace or installing a focal point in new construction, APS makes sure the form, materials, and fire itself are aligned—visually, structurally, and spiritually.

FAQs for Fireplace Installation in Philadelphia

• What’s the difference between fireplace inserts, wood fireplaces, and stoves—and which one’s right for my home?

  Fireplace inserts are high-efficiency systems that fit into an existing fireplace, delivering better heat without rebuilding the structure. Wood fireplaces offer classic ambiance and natural fuel but need a chimney and ongoing maintenance. A stove installation—either gas, electric, or wood—serves as a freestanding heating unit with flexible placement. APS helps you select the right fireplace based on your layout, usage, and home design goals.

• How do I know the installation will meet code or safety standards?

  We follow National Fireplace Institute (NFI) guidelines on every fireplace installation, and our team includes certified professionals who specialize in expert fireplace installation. Every connection, vent, and clearance is built to professional installation standards and signed off by inspectors when required—ensuring your home project is safe, compliant, and built to last.

• Can I see available fireplace products before choosing a design?

  Yes. We walk you through design options, material choices, and functional elements in a dedicated showroom consultation. You’ll review real fireplace products including mantels, stone finishes, venting systems, gas fireplaces, electric fireplaces, and control features. You’re never picking blindly—we make sure your selection matches your home, your taste, and how you actually live.

• How do you price fireplace installation services, and are there hidden fees?

  APS Masonry Contracting offers straightforward fireplace installation services with transparent quotes and no hidden fees. Every quote includes labor, venting, materials, and finish work. We take pride in proudly serving Philadelphia homeowners with pricing that’s fair, detailed, and aligned with the scope of the work—no bait-and-switch, ever.

• What kind of atmosphere does a fireplace actually create in a modern home?

  A fireplace adds more than warmth. It creates an inviting atmosphere—a space where lights dim naturally, phones stay in pockets, and people slow down. Whether it’s a sleek electric fireplace for a clean living room or a traditional hearth in a family den, the perfect fireplace anchors the space in a way nothing else can. APS helps build that feeling into your home with every install.
