When is the best time of year to buy a fireplace?

Beat the sweep season

Fairview's wooded lots make wood heat the natural local choice, and that shapes the fall calendar: creosote is the leading cause of chimney fires when autumn sweeps get skipped, so every September the short pre-season window jams with cleanings, inspections, and hurry-up installs all at once. Buying your stove, insert, or wood fireplace in spring or summer keeps your project out of that collision — the two-to-three-day chimney work happens in dry weather, and your first fire isn't waiting on anyone's backlog.

The Regency Cascades F1500 — EPA-certified, 78% efficient, heating up to 1,500 square feet — and Superior's WRT4500 wood fireplace are the two to stand in front of at the showroom.

Out here it's propane, not mains

Fairview belongs to WNC's propane geography — natural gas runs along the Asheville mains, propane out here and up the Cane Creek and Garren Creek roads. A gas hearth purchase therefore includes the regulator, piping, and appliance setup, coordinated with your propane supplier — licensed work that we permit with Buncombe County and pressure-test every time. If outage memory is driving the purchase, ask about millivolt and battery-backup ignition: gas heat that keeps working when the grid doesn't.

Fifteen minutes from Fairview Crossroads

The showroom at 629 Emma Rd is a 15-minute drive — close enough to compare wood and gas burning side by side twice before deciding. Choose by early summer, and the permit, the install, and a fresh sweep of the old flue are all behind you before the first cold night settles into the valley.
