Is a gas fire pit worth the extra cost over a wood-burning fire pit?
For Fletcher, a gas pit is an easy call — for homes and businesses alike. The airport and I-26 corridor drive strong demand for gas fire features on commercial patios, and the natural-gas mains that feed Fletcher make hookups straightforward. Tie into the existing line, and you've got clean, switch-on flame with no wood, no smoke, and no tank to refill.
Gas fits the way Fletcher uses fire
Fletcher's mix of 1990s subdivisions and busy I-26 commercial property leans naturally toward gas. A restaurant or office patio can't run on hauled firewood and drifting smoke; it needs a clean, controllable flame that's on when guests arrive and off at close. Homeowners want the same low-fuss feature. On the natural-gas mains here, we extend a branch off the existing service to the patio and convert the Napoleon Uptown — factory-built for propane — to run on natural gas, so there's no tank in the picture at all.
Commercial or residential, the gas side is licensed
Whether it's a Cane Creek backyard or a commercial space off Airport Road, extending the gas line is licensed work in North Carolina. We pull the Henderson County permit, pressure-test the line, and meet the inspector — the part a general contractor or landscaper legally can't sign off on, and one that matters more, not less, on a commercial property. Fletcher is about 20 minutes south of our Asheville showroom, close enough for a quick site visit and a free quote. Call (828) 545-0525.
