Yes, and after the Pigeon River flooding that damaged so many Canton hearths and gas appliances, how a tank is set and inspected matters more than ever. A buried, burial-rated propane tank — placed by your supplier and protected against corrosion — pairs with a permitted, pressure-tested line to give you heat that holds when the grid goes down.
Backup heat, done right after the flood
Canton's mill-town homes along the Pigeon River learned the hard way what floodwater does to gas connections. Rebuilding, a lot of families want dependable heat that doesn't quit with the power — and a propane fireplace fed from a properly set tank delivers exactly that. The tank has to be burial-rated and corrosion-protected, because the valley's morning fog and dampness that rust dampers and caps early will work on buried steel too. Setting it is your propane supplier's specialized job. What we won't do is cut corners on the connections — every gas tie-in gets inspected, which is the whole point after what the valley has been through.
Our line, permitted with Haywood County
From the tank dome, Steady Flame sizes and runs the fuel line to your fireplace, buries it to the required depth outdoors, pulls the permit with Haywood County, and pressure-tests before a single flame. Permitted work is what protects a rebuilt home's resale and its insurance — unpermitted gas work can void both. Twenty minutes west of Asheville, we install and service the whole fuel side.
