Can I put gas logs in my existing outdoor wood-burning fireplace?
Yes — and Fletcher handles these conversions easily, on natural-gas mains that run the I-26 corridor. Whether it's a subdivision backyard or a commercial patio near the airport, we tap existing service and feed the outdoor firebox with instant gas flame. You keep the masonry, drop the wood and ash, and we're twenty minutes south of the shop.
Residential and commercial, both covered
Fletcher is unusual in our territory for how much commercial outdoor-feature demand it carries — the airport and I-26 corridor draw restaurants, offices, and businesses that want gas fireplaces and fire features on their patios. We convert those the same way we do a backyard: assess the firebox, spec an outdoor-rated set, and run the licensed line. In the 1990s subdivisions, builder-grade fireplaces are prime candidates for a gas-log upgrade that finally makes the firebox worth lighting.
Natural gas keeps it straightforward
Because Fletcher sits on natural-gas mains, most conversions here mean tapping your existing service rather than setting a tank — a clean, direct run. We size a dedicated line for the log set, bury it outdoor-rated across the patio or yard where it has to cross, and pressure-test it. For a commercial property, permitting and inspection aren't just protection — they're the difference between a code-compliant amenity and a liability.
Licensed, permitted with Henderson
Extending a gas line is licensed work in North Carolina, residential or commercial — a landscaper, patio company, or general contractor legally can't make the connection. We do, we permit it with Henderson County, meet the inspector, and pressure-test every line. Since a vented set still drafts up the flue, we confirm the firebox and cap are sound first.
