If you are looking for a more cost efficient way to heat your home without losing the benefits of a traditional open fireplace, a wood stove installation may be the right option for you. With a wood burning stove, homeowners can still enjoy the sounds, smells and gorgeous look of a wood fire.

It's important to remember to have your specific heating needs identified first before you start shopping for your new wood stove. It is essential to install a wood stove that is properly sized for your space. If you choose the improper size, you can expect to see a loss in efficiency and an increase in heating costs. Below we discuss the overall cost to install a wood stove in your home and the factors affecting these costs.

How Much Will It Cost To Install a Wood Stove?

If your wood stove installation is fairly straight forward and of a smaller size, your average cost to install a wood stove should be around $300. However, if your project is more complex, or requires additional work to accommodate your new wood stove installation, your costs could increase up to as much as $3,000 or more. On average, most American homeowners spend around $900 on wood stove installation.

It's important to discuss your specific heating needs in depth with your professional before you commit. This ensures that you are comfortable with the project details and installation process. As a general rule of thumb, you should get more than one estimate on your cost of installation so you can make the best choice possible when hiring a contractor for your wood stove installation. 

Keeping in mind that every installation project is unique, there are some common factors among all projects that could affect your installation costs. These factors can include:

  • Location
  • Equipment selection
  • Additional features
  • Height of chimney system
  • Additional costs incurred to attach to existing system
  • Current pricing trends
