I am buying a house that doesn’t have a fireplace. In the future I would like to install one. I am currently figuring up my 5 year plan for the property and want to know about how much the addition of a wood burning masonry fireplace costs. I am aware that this is not the most efficient fireplace available, but this is what I am going to choose based strictly on my preference.

I have searched the internet and have found many articles debating different types of fireplaces, estimated resale value, etc. but nothing with a ball park dollar amount. If anybody has added a fireplace to their house or is a contractor who has worked on similar jobs, I would greatly appreciate an approximate figure.

Thanks!
Once again. I am aware that this might not be the most efficent or cost saving. The question is not what kind to build, but how much $$ am I looking at. This is what I am going to build. I just need dollar amounts.

I was wondering what the cost would be to add a wood stove or pellet system to an existing oil system?

What is the cost to run it, based on sq feet of house?

What the return rate?

If you have a wood burning system, are you happy with it?

Would it be benefitial to run a loop of pipe through my wood stove to heat the water the boiler would normally do? My wood stove is burning 16-18 hours a day anyways. Would this work on gravity (since the wood stove is directly above the gas boiler) or would I need to put a pump in?
