Can I replace my traditional fireplace with a modern linear one?
Yes, and Fletcher's 1990s subdivisions are prime candidates. Those builder-grade prefab fireboxes were never meant to be centerpieces, so replacing one with a sealed, direct-vent linear is a straightforward, high-impact upgrade. We pull the factory box entirely and frame the new unit into the wall, tied to the natural-gas main that serves the area.
Builder-grade box out, linear in
A prefab, zero-clearance firebox is actually the easiest starting point for this conversion — there's no masonry to demolish. We remove the whole factory unit and frame the linear straight into the existing cavity, then run its sealed direct-vent pipe out the nearest wall. Around the Airport Road area, Cane Creek, and Howard Gap, natural gas runs the mains, so a linear like the Napoleon Vector 50 taps the line the house already has.
Residential and commercial, one lane
Fletcher's I-26 corridor keeps adding construction and commercial space, and the airport-area demand for gas fireplaces and outdoor features runs ahead of the surrounding towns — we handle both. Whether it's a subdivision living room or a commercial lobby, connecting the fuel is licensed gas work, and we permit and pressure-test every line. A showroom or general contractor can supply the box but legally can't make it burn.
