Log Burner Installation Cost in 2025: What to Expect

Deciding to install a log burner in your living room at home can be a worthwhile decision that will likely lead to long-term savings. People are looking for alternative ways to heat their homes daily instead of using mains gas. 

 

Homefire will look at what it costs to install a log burner in your home so you know what to expect in 2025 and beyond.

 

How Much Does a Log Burner Cost?

 

Log burners cost around £1,000 on average in the UK, depending on the model you select and the time of year you purchase it - you might save when purchasing your log burner in the spring or summer when the weather is improving, as discounts are commonly offered. Of course, you'll need to buy the kiln-dried firewood for the appliance.

 

The smallest log burners can even be found at around £500, so if your home is small and you have fewer square metres to heat, you can save more. Generally, the larger the unit, the more expensive it will be. You should initially measure the size of your home to determine the type of log burner required.

 

The Cost of Installing a Log Burner

 

The price to install a log burner in your home depends on many factors, like where in the country you live, the type of log burner being installed, how easy it is to connect it to the wall, labour demands, etc. However, you might expect to pay up to £5,500 for log burner installation in the UK today. If you live in London, the installation costs will likely be higher than in other parts of the country; however, some regions might incur fees as low as £700.

 

Renowned tradespeople tend to charge more than inexperienced or lesser-known professionals; your budget might be a big reason you decide which fitter to hire to conduct the task.

 

Why Only Experts Can Install Log Burners

 

The log burner’s flue needs to be correctly connected to the wall so that what is emitted from the log burner can be extracted from your home. Ensuring every aspect of the log burner and its connections are working, as it needs to be inspected by a trained professional with experience installing wood-burning stoves.

 

Many homes with a fireplace already have them fitted so that a log burner might be redundant. However, if your home lacks a fireplace, a wood burner might be an excellent alternative to keep everybody warm during the cold months.


Whatever the cost of your log burner and its installation, you can save money with Homefire by purchasing the best quality kiln-dried logs in bulk, ensuring your home is fuelled with Ready To Burn certified, long-lasting products.
