Do fireplace dealers offer annual maintenance plans I can sign up for?
Yes — and since our showroom sits right here at 629 Emma Rd, Asheville is the fastest town we reach. Steady Flame runs annual tune-ups from $189, no contract required, booked once a year in late summer or early fall. Whether you've got an original Montford masonry firebox or a clean-face gas unit in South Asheville, the yearly visit keeps it ready.
Two kinds of Asheville hearth, two kinds of visit
The city's housing splits the work in two. Up in Montford and North Asheville, those original masonry fireplaces get an annual that's really a chimney job — a sweep, a creosote check, and a look at the flue and damper, all to CSIA and NFPA standards. Newer South Asheville and West Asheville homes lean toward clean-face gas — an Ascent 36 or a Heat & Glo 6000CLX — where the yearly visit is about the pilot assembly, burner, glass gasket, and a leak-check on the connections. Same NFI-certified technician either way; the checklist just follows the appliance. If a worn part turns up, you get the number before we touch it.
Book against our elevation, not the flatland calendar
At 2,134 feet, Asheville nights sit in the 20s well into early spring, so the hearth here earns its keep for a long stretch — which is exactly why late summer is the moment to call. Get the tune-up done before the first real cold snap and you skip the fall pileup, when every hearth owner phones the same week. Central heat quits when the power does, so the households leaning on a working gas hearth are the ones that keep the mornings livable — one more reason to keep it maintained. Being headquartered on Emma Road makes us the closest crew to most of the city, but close doesn't beat busy once winter lands.
No paperwork, just a standing fall appointment
There's nothing to enroll in and no terms to read. Most Asheville households simply pencil us in each fall, or ask us to note the address so we reach out when the season turns. You're not buying a membership — you're buying a hearth that lights on the first cold morning. Call (828) 545-0525 or stop by the Emma Road showroom to set it up.
