Does the fireplace company pull the permit, or do I have to?
We do — and here's a Fletcher wrinkle worth knowing: you're in Henderson County, not Buncombe, even though the airport and Asheville are right up the road. Steady Flame files the gas permit with the correct county under our license, schedules the inspection, and meets the inspector, so the jurisdiction question is ours to sort, not yours.
Right county, right office
Fletcher sits on the natural-gas mains running the I-26 corridor, and it's a mix of 1990s subdivisions with builder-grade fireplaces and steady new construction — including commercial properties near the airport that want gas fireplaces and outdoor features. What trips people up is the county line: Fletcher feels like South Asheville, but it answers to Henderson County, not Buncombe. Filing with the right jurisdiction is part of what you hire a licensed contractor to get correct, and we do it as a matter of course — for a home upgrade or a commercial install alike.
The permit belongs on our license
Running or extending a gas line is licensed work in North Carolina, and the permit rides on the contractor's license — ours — not yours. A company that asks you to pull the permit for their gas job is showing you something: they may not be licensed to file it, or to do the work.
