Can I convert my wood-burning fireplace to gas?
Yes, and Fletcher is about as straightforward as a conversion gets — this is natural-gas-main country, so tapping the line to your firebox is usually a short run. Many of the 1990s subdivisions here came with basic builder-grade fireboxes, and homeowners convert them to a sealed gas insert that finally produces real, even heat instead of a decorative flicker.
From builder-grade to a real heater
A lot of Fletcher's 1990s-era subdivisions were built with the cheapest firebox that met the plan — decorative, drafty, and never much of a heater. Converting one to a sealed gas insert like the Napoleon Oakville X4 or stepping up to a Heat and Glo unit changes it into something that runs 70 percent efficient or better and pushes warmth into the room. And because Fletcher sits on natural-gas mains, the line to the firebox is often a short, tidy run, which keeps the gas-line portion of the job simple. Cane Creek, Howard Gap, and Fanning Bridge homes are prime candidates.
Commercial along the I-26 corridor
Fletcher is not only houses. The airport area and the steady new construction along the I-26 corridor mean commercial demand for gas fireplaces and outdoor features here actually runs ahead of the surrounding residential communities. We handle those conversions and new installs too — a lobby, an office common area, an outdoor patio feature — with the same licensed gas work and permitting a home gets. If you manage a commercial space near the airport, the same rules and the same crew apply.
Licensed and permitted with Henderson County
