Swannanoa, North Carolina

How do I find out if natural gas runs to my street in Western North Carolina?

Swannanoa mostly sits on natural-gas mains, so gas is realistic for much of the community — and as storm-damaged homes are rebuilt here, a new fireplace is often part of the plan. Check for a meter on your street, or let us confirm availability while we look at the rebuild. Call (828) 545-0525.

Rebuilding, with backup heat in mind

Recovery from the recent storm damage has homeowners across Swannanoa rebuilding and renovating, and a lot of them are adding a real fireplace or stove in the process — not just for looks, but because the outage taught the lesson plainly. A millivolt or battery-backup gas unit keeps heating with the grid down; wood is total independence. In a river valley where the power can go for days, that's worth designing in now rather than wishing for later.

Gas on the street, older fireboxes inside

The Grovemont-area homes from the 1940s through the '60s often have original masonry fireplaces that leak more heat than they make. With natural-gas mains under much of Swannanoa, converting one to a sealed gas insert is usually a short reach to the line. Spot a meter on a neighbor's wall to confirm; the damp river-valley air, fog, and cold-air pooling are hard on old chimneys, so a look at the flue comes with it.

Permitted for the insurance, too

On a rebuild, the permit isn't red tape — it protects your insurance and your future sale. We pull it with Buncombe County, meet the inspector, and pressure-test every line. We're 15 minutes east. Call (828) 545-0525.
