Trained, Certified, and Trusted Across Indianapolis
Fireplace installation is not a job to hand to a general handyman. Gas lines, venting, and clearances have to be right the first time, because the cost of getting them wrong is measured in gas leaks, carbon monoxide, and house fires. Our technicians are National Fireplace Institute (NFI) certified, and Clean Sweep 317 is a member of the National Chimney Sweep Guild (NCSG) with Accredited Certified Chimney Professional and Certified Chimney Reliner credentials. We have served Indianapolis since 2014 and hold a 4.9 star rating across 585 and more Google reviews, along with an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau.
That training shows up in the details: we size venting correctly, follow the manufacturer’s installation specs, and confirm every gas connection and safety control before we leave. The appliances we install carry the manufacturer’s warranty, and any stainless steel venting or liner components we add carry a transferable lifetime warranty, so the protection follows your home if you sell it.
Fireplace Types We Install in Indianapolis
Whether you are switching fuels, boosting efficiency, or completely changing the look of your hearth, we install the full range of fireplace and heating appliances for Indianapolis homes and businesses.
Gas fireplaces and gas inserts
A gas fireplace or gas insert delivers strong, even heat with the turn of a switch and none of the ash and hauling that come with wood. Inserts are especially efficient, sealing into an existing firebox and pushing far more heat back into the room than an open fireplace. They are a popular choice for homeowners converting an old, drafty wood-burning fireplace into a clean, controllable heat source.
Gas logs
A gas log set gives your Indianapolis fireplace solid heat output without the mess of wood, and today’s logs look more realistic than ever. You keep the open-fire look and gain simple on and off operation. We help you weigh vented logs, which prioritize appearance, against ventless logs, which prioritize heat, and match the set to your fireplace.
Wood-burning fireplaces
For homeowners who want a genuine wood fire, we install wood-burning fireplaces and wood inserts, sizing the flue and liner and confirming clearances and draft so the system runs safely. If your chimney needs relining or repair to support a wood appliance, we handle that as part of the project rather than leaving it for another crew.
Electric fireplaces
No space for venting, a gas line, or a chimney is no reason to miss out on a cozy hearth. Our electric fireplace options give Indianapolis homes the warmth and ambiance of a fireplace with nothing to vent or contract. The unit is set in place, plugged in, and ready to use, which makes it a fast upgrade for rooms that were never built around a chimney.
Our Fireplace Installation and Inspection Process
A safe, long-lasting installation starts before any product is ordered. We begin with an in-home evaluation and chimney inspection to see what you already have, whether the existing flue and firebox are sound, and what venting the new appliance will require. From there we walk you through the fuel and unit options that actually fit your space and your goals.
Once you choose a system, our NFI certified technicians handle the gas line or electrical connection, set and vent the appliance to the manufacturer’s specifications, and address any repairs the chimney needs to support the new unit. We finish by testing ignition, drafting, and safety controls, then show you how to operate and maintain your fireplace so you get the ease and peace of mind you paid for.
Gas Fireplace Service and Repair in Indianapolis
Installation is only the start. A gas fireplace is a precision appliance, and it needs annual gas fireplace service to keep running safely and efficiently. Our Indianapolis technicians clean and inspect the burner, pilot assembly, thermocouple and thermopile, glass, gaskets, and venting, then confirm the unit lights, holds a flame, and vents the way it should.
If your gas fireplace is already giving you trouble, our repair team can help. Common issues we diagnose and correct include a pilot that will not stay lit, a fireplace that will not ignite, weak or uneven flames, sooty glass, blower and fan motor problems, and remote or valve faults. Rather than guessing, we inspect the whole system and explain what is happening in plain terms, then handle the repair. For safety, we leave gas component work to trained technicians and ask homeowners to stick to visual checks like confirming the gas valve is open and the pilot is lit through the viewing window.
What Does Fireplace Installation Cost in Indianapolis?
The honest answer is that it depends. Upgrading to a system that needs a new venting run costs more than adding an electric unit that requires no chimney at all. Adding gas logs to a masonry fireplace runs differently than fitting a full gas insert, and a setup that needs repairs before installation is more involved than a well-kept one.
Because of that, we do not post fixed prices here that might only mislead you. We would rather look at your fireplace, understand your goals, and give you a clear, straightforward, and honest estimate after we have talked. Call us to discuss your options and book a chimney inspection so we can quote your project accurately.
Can I Install a Fireplace Myself?
There is a fine line between can and should. You can attempt a fireplace installation, but it is never something we would recommend. Faulty installations lead to dangerous outcomes: house fires, hidden damage, gas leaks, and carbon monoxide exposure among them. Our technicians undergo rigorous training precisely so those risks are handled correctly, and so you can enjoy your new system with the ease and peace of mind you deserve.
