Can a fireplace dealer special-order a model that isn't in the showroom?
Yes, and Weaverville gives us two very different reasons to. New Reems Creek construction wants a clean-face gas unit spec'd into the framing; older downtown homes want a sealed insert to replace an inefficient original firebox. Neither is likely the exact model on our floor — so we order the right one either way.
Two Housing Types, Two Orders
Weaverville is building fast in Reems Creek while its downtown holds older homes with original masonry fireboxes that run inefficient — sometimes at a net heat loss. Those are different jobs. A new build gets a clean-face or linear gas unit ordered to the framing; a downtown retrofit gets a sealed insert ordered to fit the existing opening, with a correctly sized liner.
In both cases the floor model is a reference, not the answer. We measure during a free in-home visit, confirm the natural-gas main, and order the exact size and front the house needs.
North-Valley Cold and a Short Drive
Weaverville's north-facing valley warms up slowly in spring, which stretches the season you'll lean on the unit — another reason to order for real output rather than take whatever's on display. You're about fifteen minutes north of the showroom, so it's easy to compare flames in person before you commit.
Once you've chosen, we place the order, run and pressure-test the gas line, pull the Buncombe County permit, and meet the inspector. Call (828) 545-0525 to spec yours.
