Can installers deliver and install a heavy fireplace or stove at a home with a steep gravel mountain driveway?
Yes — Clyde's older 1960s-to-80s ranch homes often have dated fireplaces ready for an insert upgrade, and a steep gravel drive up Crabtree or Fines Creek is routine for us. We move the heavy unit, handle the venting and gas, and permit the work with Haywood County.
Ranch-home insert upgrades
Those dated ranch-house fireboxes heat poorly as they sit; a sealed gas or wood insert with a correctly sized liner turns one into a real heater — commonly 70 percent efficient or better, where an open masonry fireplace can actually run a net heat loss. The insert and the liner are heavy, exacting work, so one licensed crew does the appliance, the venting, and any gas line, then meets the Haywood County inspector. In the mixed-fuel pockets we set propane up correctly, too.
Pigeon Valley damp
Clyde shares the cold-air drainage of Canton and Waynesville, and Pigeon Valley river humidity rusts dampers and degrades masonry chimneys, so an upgrade is a good time to add fresh venting or a new liner. Getting the unit up a gravel grade above the valley is planned around parking and the carry in. We're 25 minutes west of the Asheville showroom; call (828) 545-0525.
