In Brevard, vented gas logs are the most budget-friendly way to get a gas flame into a wood-burning fireplace, and because this is Transylvania County we pull your permit with the county office and meet the inspector on site. Your existing firebox does most of the work, so the log set and the fuel line drive the cost.
Permitted, pressure-tested, and inspected
Connecting gas is licensed contractor work in North Carolina — a mason or a showroom can hand you a log set, but they legally can't run or connect the fuel. We can, and we don't skip the paperwork: the permit with Transylvania County protects your home sale and your homeowner's insurance, since unpermitted gas work can void coverage. Brevard is propane country for a lot of homes and cabins, so the connection often includes regulator and pressure work that a simple natural-gas hookup wouldn't. That's part of why we quote in person rather than over the phone.
Brevard's moisture, and your damper
Transylvania gets 80-plus inches of rain a year, and that wet season from March into June is hard on hearths — it cracks crowns, spalls brick, and rusts dampers. Vented logs require the damper stay permanently open, and we install a clamp to hold it there, so a corroded or seized damper becomes something we address before the logs go in. When we're out for the free assessment, we look at the whole chimney chase and crawl space, not just the firebox. Choose your set — up to Real Fyre's hand-cast Charred American Oak — and we'll price the run to your firebox, quoted upfront before any work starts. Call (828) 545-0525 or visit our Asheville showroom, about 40 minutes away.
