There's no flat rate — the gas line is priced as part of the install, and the biggest driver is how far it has to travel from your meter or tank to the firebox. A gas fireplace installation typically runs $3,500–$8,000 installed, with the line's distance, its route, and the permit folded into that number.

What moves the number

Several site-specific things: the distance from the gas source (meter or propane tank) to the fireplace; the route it takes (an open crawlspace or basement is easy, finished walls and long attic runs are not); the pipe material and the size needed for the appliance's load; a shut-off valve; the county permit and pressure test; and whether we're extending an existing line or running new whole-home piping. Every one of those changes house to house, which is why we quote in person instead of over the phone.

How it fits the install

You'll see the range of $3,500–$8,000 installed for a gas fireplace — the gas line is inside that figure, not stacked on top of it. A unit going in near an existing line in a south-Asheville home lands toward the low end; a long buried propane run out to a Fairview or Candler cabin sits higher. There's no honest way to price the line without seeing the exact path it has to take.
