Can I still use my fireplace while the conversion project is in progress?

During the work itself

A conversion is a live worksite. We're removing the old firebox setup, running and pressure-testing a new gas line, and often sizing a liner down the chimney. None of that is safe to fire in the middle of, so the fireplace stays cold from the day we start until the install is complete and tested. This is exactly the kind of work that has to be done by a licensed gas contractor and signed off by the inspector — not something to rush or work around.

How long you're actually without it

For most conversions that's a day. When we're relining, running a long line, or coordinating a propane tank set, plan on two or three. We schedule tightly so the gap is as short as possible, and we don't leave a job half-finished overnight in a way that leaves you exposed.

If you heat primarily with that fireplace, tell us — we'll book around a warm stretch rather than the week of a cold snap.

Timing it for the mountains

The smart move up here is to convert in late summer or early fall, before you're depending on the fireplace to get through a cold week. After Helene, plenty of folks learned the hard way what it means to lose heat when the power's out for days — so you don't want your only heat source torn apart in January. Book the work when a day or two without it costs you nothing. Call (828) 545-0525 to get on the schedule.
