Are gas fire pits worth it compared to wood-burning fire pits?
In Fletcher, gas is the natural fit — this is one of the towns squarely on the natural-gas mains, so a fire pit ties into the same line feeding the house with no propane tank to refill. Add the convenience — instant light, no smoke, no ash — and gas wins for most of the town's subdivisions and businesses alike.
Right on the Gas Main
Fletcher sits on the natural-gas mains along the I-26 corridor, which makes a gas fire pit especially easy here — we extend a buried, outdoor-rated line from the meter to the pit, permit it with the Henderson County office, and pressure-test it, and you've got unlimited, refill-free fire. The 1990s subdivisions and newer builds often already have gas at the house, so the pit is a short, clean extension rather than a whole new fuel source.
Many of those subdivisions also restrict open wood fires, and a sealed gas pit typically clears the rules where a wood one won't.
Commercial Patios Too
The airport-area and corridor commercial properties drive real demand for outdoor features, and gas is almost always the right answer there — a business can't be hauling wood and shoveling ash, and a controllable flame that shuts off clean fits a patio or restaurant space where a smoky wood fire would drive guests off. We hard-plumb commercial fire features and outdoor gas lines the same licensed way we do residential.
Whether it's a backyard or a business, connecting fuel is licensed work in North Carolina — a general contractor legally can't. That's our lane.
