Can I see fireplaces burning in a showroom before I buy?
Yes, and for Fairview the units to see burn are the propane and wood ones, since these large wooded lots sit off the gas main and wood heat runs strong here. It's a 15-minute drive east to our Asheville showroom, where you can watch a propane-set fireplace and a real wood stove run and pick what suits your property and your fuel.
Propane and Wood Country
Fairview's big rural parcels — Cane Creek Valley, Garren Creek — are propane and wood territory, past the reach of the mains. Propane burns hotter per unit and needs its own orifices and pressures, so seeing an LP-set unit lit matters. On our floor you can watch a Kozy Heat Springfield built for cold-climate homes, or a Valor radiant unit that heats with no electricity at all.
For the many Fairview homes that burn wood, come see an EPA-certified Regency stove run — far more heat and far less smoke than an old open firebox, and total independence from the grid.
Wood Heat Comes With a Chimney Job
Those wooded lots that make wood heat so natural also mean creosote — the number-one cause of chimney fires when a flue goes unswept. Seeing a modern, cleaner-burning stove or insert lit is half the story; the other half is the annual fall sweep that keeps it safe.
If you're converting from an open wood fireplace, we can show you both paths lit: a gas log set for ambiance, or a sealed insert for real, efficient heat with a proper liner.
