Contemporary Fireplace Installation in Utah
Contemporary Fireplaces
A contemporary fireplace in Utah can transform your home and give it a modern look. Also, given Utah’s climate, you’ll need a fireplace that will keep your home warm in the winter and still serve a purpose in the summer. Comfort Solutions can help you find a contemporary fireplace in Salt Lake City that will bring you all these benefits.
If you want to achieve both comfort and style within your home, a contemporary fireplace is your best choice.
Why choose a contemporary fireplace?
These fireplaces have sleek, minimalist designs that go very well with modern architecture. This doesn’t mean they are exclusive to modern houses, though. They often have neutral tones and timeless, elegant, and sophisticated appearances that also match traditional homes.
A well-placed contemporary fireplace can become the centerpiece of a room. If you have one, you won’t need too many decorations because it’s enough of an accent to an otherwise bare wall — just like a piece of art.
Aside from the style factor, contemporary fireplaces bring the comforts of a good old brick hearth. You can sit close with a warm cup of coffee or hot chocolate during winter. You can also lay a thick rug directly in front of it and laze the day away, basking in the fire’s warmth. These fireplaces create a cozy and comforting ambiance which softens the sharp and stark elements of modern interior design.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I finance a contemporary fireplace installation?
Yes, Comfort Solutions offers financing through the Wells Fargo Home Projects credit card, issued with approved credit. The card turns the cost of a contemporary fireplace into monthly payments. Your total comes down to the configuration you choose, from a single-sided unit to a see-through or three-sided model. The size of the fireplace and the finish around it also play a part. For an exact number on your Utah home, request a free in-home estimate.
What happens during a contemporary fireplace installation?
A contemporary fireplace installation from Comfort Solutions starts with choosing the unit and where it will sit. The wall or surround is then framed to the clearances listed in that fireplace’s installation manual. Gas and venting work must meet Utah’s state construction code. As of July 1, 2026, that code adopts the 2021 International Residential Code and the 2024 International Fuel Gas Code. Your chosen finish goes on once the unit is set and connected.
How do I know which contemporary fireplace style fits my room?
The right contemporary fireplace style comes down to how many sides should show the flame and how much open floor sits in front. A single-sided unit faces one room. Napoleon’s Ascent Multi-View comes as a two-sided see-through model or a three-sided peninsula model. Napoleon also advises keeping furniture and curtains at least 48 inches from a fireplace front. Measure that zone in your Utah room before you settle on a style.
Does room size matter when choosing a contemporary fireplace?
Yes, room size sets a code limit on vent-free contemporary fireplaces. Utah’s adopted fuel gas code caps all unvented appliances in a room at a combined 20 Btu/h per cubic foot of room volume. A 12 by 15 foot room with 8-foot ceilings holds 1,440 cubic feet, so its vent-free limit is 28,800 Btu/h. Adjacent rooms joined by openings that cannot be closed may count toward that volume. That cap is written for unvented appliances, while a direct-vent unit sends its exhaust outdoors.
How to make an old fireplace look modern?
You can make an old fireplace look modern by fitting a gas insert into the existing opening and refacing the surround. Napoleon describes gas inserts as self-contained units that vent out the existing chimney. Napoleon puts wood-burning fireplaces at around 15 to 30 percent efficiency, compared with 65 to 99 percent for gas inserts. Utah’s adopted residential code requires masonry chimneys to be lined for the connected appliance, so an unlined chimney needs a liner. Comfort Solutions handles wood-to-gas conversions in Utah.
