You also need to consider the complexity of the venting system and whether your home requires structural modifications to accommodate the unit safely. High-end materials like natural stone or custom glass doors will naturally push the budget higher, while standard finishes keep things more affordable. We can help you navigate these choices; exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
