You Shouldn't Have to Become a Fireplace Expert

You've measured the wall, saved some inspiration photos, and maybe even found the fireplace you like. Now you need someone you can trust to make sure it's the right fit and install it correctly.

That's where we come in. We don't just try to sell you a fireplace. We take the time to walk through the options that make sense for your space, explain the differences in plain English, and give you honest pricing—even when the better option costs less.

    Together, you'll pick the fireplace, the finishes, and the features that fit your style, your space, and your budget.

  3. Install It & Stand Behind It

    From planning to installation, we handle the details and keep you informed. Long after the fire is lit, we're here for service, maintenance, and support.

Why Work With Kindled Timber

Honest Guidance

No Pressure Sales

Half our sales process is an education session. You'll hear every option that fits your home, including the cheaper one.

Professional Installation

Done Right the First Time

A fireplace is a specialty product that has to be installed correctly. NFI and CSIA certification is the floor, not the ceiling.

Long-Term Support

Maintenance & Service Available

The install is step one. We service what we sell, and plenty we didn't, for years afterward.

Local Expertise

Serving Central Indiana

The shop sits a mile from the owner's front door. The I-65 / I-70 triangle is home turf, not a coverage map.

Common Questions About Kindled Timber

The ones we answer every week. Yours isn't here? Call. The education session is free.

How much does a fireplace installation cost in Central Indiana?

It depends on the unit, the venting, and the finish work, which is why we put live pricing in the online estimator instead of making you call for it. Answer a few questions about your space and you'll have a real number in about a minute: the unit, the venting it needs, and professional installation, with no obligation.

Is the online estimate a real number?

It's a real ballpark, built from the unit's actual price and the typical installation for your configuration. Your appointment turns it into a firm quote once we've seen the wall, the chimney, or the gas line. Nothing is ordered until you've seen the final number.

Do you offer financing?

Yes. Once you accept your estimate and it becomes an invoice, financing runs through Affirm right inside our billing, with terms you pick. Tell us you're interested when you book and we'll walk you through it.

How long does an installation take?

It depends on the unit, the venting, and any finish work. Inserts and freestanding stoves are the quickest; built-in fireplaces with framing, a gas line, or finish carpentry take longer. The appointment sets the schedule before anything is ordered.

How soon can you install before the holidays?

Fall is the busy season, so the earlier you start the estimate, the better your odds of watching the game in front of the new unit. Off-season installs book quickest of all.
