What measurements does a fireplace dealer need before quoting an insert or log set?
Most Fletcher fireplaces are 1990s builder-grade prefab boxes, so the first thing we need is the model number off the metal label inside the firebox — it defines the unit. We still take front and rear width, height to opening and damper, depth low and high, and the hearth extension, and confirm the natural-gas main.
The metal label does the heavy lifting
In Fletcher's 1990s subdivisions along the I-26 corridor, the fireplaces are factory-built prefab units, and each carries a model-number plate riveted inside the opening or firebox. That label tells us the exact box, its venting, and which inserts are listed to fit — far more reliable than tape alone on a prefab. Snapping a clear photo of that plate before we visit gets your quote moving fast.
Commercial and outdoor work too
The airport area and Fletcher's commercial properties drive steady demand for gas fireplaces and outdoor features, and those quotes add the gas-line run and, for outdoor pits, a buried outdoor-rated line. Whether residential or commercial, we confirm you're on the natural-gas main and where the line ties in — distance to the appliance moves the number more than most folks expect.
Permit and a short trip
We permit the gas line with Henderson County and pressure-test it; a builder can frame the chase, but connecting fuel is licensed work that's our lane. Fletcher is about twenty minutes south of our Asheville showroom, so the free in-home assessment is quick. Call (828) 545-0525 or request a free quote.
