Can I still get parts for an old or discontinued fireplace model?
Mars Hill lives on two fuels. Rural homes up Spring Creek and Gabriels Creek run propane or wood, while university-area rentals favor easy-use gas — and each shapes the parts answer. For any of them, the control parts that fail usually stay sourceable; it's the model-specific pieces, and for propane the fuel-matched orifices, that need attention.
Propane and wood in the valleys
Out in the Spring Creek and Gabriels Creek valleys, homes rely on propane or wood, and both have their own parts story. A discontinued propane fireplace needs its pilot and orifices matched to LP, not just to the model — the wrong part soots and wastes fuel. Wood units are different again: their 'parts' are firebrick, gaskets, and baffles, which we replace as a matter of routine service, no matter the model's age.
Easy-use gas near the university
Around Mars Hill University, the rentals lean on simple, reliable gas fireplaces, and those are the easiest to keep alive — a worn igniter or thermocouple is common and cross-referenced across brands and years. What runs out on any of them is the model-only glass and log set. Because we service all major brands, an older unit here is usually still very fixable.
One of the colder spots — get it settled
Mars Hill runs colder than most, so it's worth not limping through winter on a failing part. Send us the model number off the rating plate and we'll tell you honestly whether it's a quick fix or, if parts are gone, an outage-ready replacement worth making. Call (828) 545-0525.
