From the Lowcountry to the Upstate, find your fireplace.
Wood, gas, pellet, and electric fireplace resources for every county and city in South Carolina—from mild Charleston winters to the harder freezes near Sassafras Mountain. Find the right unit and connect with a trusted local dealer.
Every Project Starts From One of These Five Situations
One state, two very different heating seasons.
South Carolina's Lowcountry—Charleston, Beaufort, Hilton Head, the Grand Strand around Myrtle Beach—sits in IECC zone 3A with roughly 1,900 to 2,200 heating degree days a year. Winters there are short and mild, and a fireplace often does more work for ambiance and the occasional cold snap than for daily heat. Head inland toward the Midlands and up into the Upstate around Greenville and Spartanburg, and the climate shifts into zone 4A, with HDD approaching 4,000 near the Blue Ridge foothills and Sassafras Mountain, the state's highest point at 3,554 feet. Nobody in the Upstate is dealing with a Burlington VT or Buffalo NY winter, but hard freezes, ice storms, and the occasional snow event are real enough that a properly sized wood insert or gas unit earns its keep every year.

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
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.
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.
Should the dealer who sells my fireplace also install it?
Ideally, yes. A fireplace project involves vent pipe, gas line, electrical, and often tile or stone. Hire three or four separate trades and you own the liability and the game of telephone between them. One company selling and installing means one accountable party, start to finish—ask about factory training, on-time completion records, and what happens if an inspection fails.
