How much does it cost per hour to run a gas fire pit?
In Fletcher, whether it's a backyard in a 1990s subdivision or a patio at an Airport Road business, a gas fire pit runs cheap because the town's on natural-gas mains. Metered gas by the therm is the least expensive burn hour for hour — a 60,000-BTU pit uses about 60 cubic feet on high — and a low flame drops it further.
Residential patios and commercial ones alike
Fletcher's mix along the I-26 corridor means we plumb fire pits for both the builder-grade-subdivision homeowner upgrading the backyard and the Airport Road business adding an outdoor gathering feature — and both benefit from the same natural-gas main.
Running off metered gas means no tank, no delivery, and a predictable hourly cost that's easy to budget, which matters more for a commercial patio that runs its pit most evenings than for a home that lights one occasionally. A modulating valve keeps a low, welcoming flame going for hours cheaply.
Off the meter, permitted in Henderson County
We tie a buried, outdoor-rated line off your existing gas service, set the burner for natural gas, pull the Henderson County permit, and pressure-test before anyone lights it.
For a business that means one licensed, accountable company handling the fuel side — a landscaper or general contractor can build the surround, but connecting gas is licensed work and our lane alone. Fletcher is about 20 minutes south of our Asheville showroom, a short run for the assessment and install. Call (828) 545-0525.
