Every Project Starts From One of These Five Situations
One state, two climate zones, four ways to heat a home.
Indiana splits between IECC zones 4A in the south and 5A across the central and northern two-thirds of the state, and that split shows up in winter heating needs: Evansville sees a moderate heating season while South Bend, sitting in the Lake Michigan snowbelt, faces a much heavier one—a load comparable to Buffalo, NY. Natural gas dominates new construction around Indianapolis, served by Citizens Energy Group and AES Indiana, while Duke Energy Indiana territory in the southwest leans on a mix of gas and electric. In the hardwood counties of southern Indiana—oak, hickory, and ash country along the Ohio River—wood stoves stay in regular use, and the Amish and Mennonite communities in Elkhart and LaGrange counties have relied on wood heat for generations. Pellet stoves fill the gap in rural areas without a gas main, often running fuel from regional producers like Indeck Energy Services, Lignetics, or Somerset Pellet Fuel.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much should I budget for a fireplace?
For an average home—covering the fireplace, the vent pipe, and basic installation—a budget between $3,900 and $5,500 gives you a lot of options across wood, gas, and pellet. By the time you add finish work, gas line, and electrical, the average complete installation lands between $5,000 and $12,000 all-in. In a remodel or new build, a good rule is to put about 2.5% of the total project cost toward the fireplace.
Does a fireplace add value to my home?
On average, a fireplace adds back to the home about the same amount you spent installing it. Add the monthly savings from heating the rooms you actually use instead of the whole house—often hundreds of dollars a year—and the value case is strong before you even count what a fire does for how your family uses the room.
Can I install a fireplace myself?
If you're putting a fire in your house on purpose, it's best to work with an expert. Unless you're genuinely experienced in framing, gas line, vent pipe, and the national code on clearances to combustibles, have a professional do it—and ideally the same company that sells you the fireplace, so warranty, service, and liability all live under one roof.
Wood, gas, pellet, or electric—how do I choose?
Match the fuel to your life, not the other way around. Wood: lowest fuel cost and total power-outage independence, but you're hauling and stacking. Gas: press a button, set a thermostat, no maintenance to speak of. Pellet: wood economics with automatic feeding, in exchange for weekly cleaning and a need for electricity. Electric: plugs in anywhere with honest supplemental heat. Nobody regrets the fuel that fits how they actually live.
