A modern insert turns an open masonry fireplace — which sends most of its heat straight up the flue — into a sealed, efficient heating appliance. Dallas doesn't have a long heating season, but when a cold front drops in and you want a fire, an insert delivers real warmth and controllable flame instead of a drafty open box. Brown Chimney installs complete packages from $4,495 for an electric insert to $15,595 for a pellet stove; the Osburn Matrix 1900 wood insert is $11,995 fully installed, and the Majestic Ruby gas insert $12,995 — including liner, venting, and gas and electrical subcontractor allowances.
Gas inserts are especially popular in Dallas, where homeowners want the ambiance and instant warmth of a fire without hauling wood for a handful of cold nights a year. One price, one crew coordinating the trades, one finished fireplace — installed to code by CSIA-certified technicians, permit filed where the city requires it. Before any insert goes in, the chimney has to be sound: a Dallas inspection confirms it for $49, credited toward the work. The full package detail is on our fireplace installation service page.

Majestic Ruby gas insert, fully installed — Dallas, TX
An open fireplace is ambiance; an insert is ambiance that actually works. For the handful of genuinely cold nights Dallas gets, an open masonry fireplace pulls more warm air out of the house than it puts in. A sealed insert flips that: controlled flame, real radiant heat, and — with a gas unit — instant fire at the push of a button, no wood to haul for two weeks of use a year.
The installation is a system, not a box: the insert is sized to your firebox, the liner or venting matched to the appliance and run the full flue height, and the surround finished clean. Gas installs coordinate licensed gas and electrical subcontractors under one package price — you're not chasing three trades, we are. Older Highland Park chimneys sometimes need masonry work before an insert goes in; if so, you get the repair quote in writing first, separately.
Our Southlake crew covers the northern DFW corridor, and together we handle the full Texas service area. See the local service list on the Dallas page.
An insert is an upgrade decision, not a repair — and in Dallas it's usually about ambiance and convenience for a short cool season rather than primary heat.
Removing a masonry stack but keeping the fire is common in Dallas — a modern insert vents through far less than a full chimney. We quote Dallas removal and installation together when that's the plan.

From confirmed order to first fire, most Dallas installations complete within one to two days on site — inspection first, then liner, unit, connections, and a full operational test before we leave.
01
A $49 chimney inspection confirms the flue, crown, and structure can host the appliance — and the firebox is measured for exact insert fit. The fee credits toward the work.
02
Unit, liner or venting, subcontractor allowances, and timeline — one package price, fixed in writing before anything is ordered.

03
Wood inserts get a stainless steel liner run the full flue height; gas units get dedicated venting matched to the appliance. This is where efficiency is won or lost.
04
The insert is set, connected, and finished clean. On gas packages, licensed gas and electrical subcontractors work under our coordination — one crew responsible.
05
Every function tested before we leave: ignition, damper or valve, blower, shutoffs. You get the full walkthrough, the documentation, and a fireplace that's ready tonight.
Subcontractor costs beyond the package allowances (any difference is shown to you in writing before work proceeds)
Customer-supplied units — packages are built on units we source, warranty, and stand behind
Masonry repairs the inspection uncovers (quoted separately before installation is scheduled)
