Do fireplace showrooms keep units in stock, or is everything special-ordered?
Across Arden's Royal Pines and Skyland, those 1980s-90s open masonry fireplaces pull heat out of the room — and the sealed insert that fixes it is measured and ordered to your firebox, never pulled off a shelf. Our floor models run so you can see the difference. Everyday lines come quicker; most are built to your order.
A drafty box becomes a real heater — to order
The typical Arden fireplace from these decades is an open masonry box that looks fine and loses heat straight up the flue. A sealed gas insert turns it into a genuine heater, but only when it's sized to the exact opening — a Napoleon Oakville X4 or a Kozy Heat Chaska 25L is ordered to your dimensions, not stocked in a one-size version. Every firebox in Skyland, Royal Pines, or Glenn Bridge is a little different, so the fit is part of the order. You watch the insert run on the floor, feel the output a bare open hearth never gives you, then we order the one that matches your room.
Natural gas, Buncombe, fifteen minutes south
Arden sits on natural-gas mains, and there's steady commercial demand around Biltmore Park too, from retail to office space. As a licensed gas contractor we spec NG, pull the Buncombe County permit, pressure-test the line, and meet the inspector. We're just 15 minutes south of the showroom, which keeps the assessment and install easy — but the insert itself is special-ordered to your firebox, so order ahead of winter. Call (828) 545-0525.
