Where can I get replacement parts for a Mendota fireplace?
In Swannanoa, we're seeing two Mendota needs since the storm — parts for units that came through it, and fresh installs in rebuilt homes. Steady Flame services the brand across the Swannanoa Valley and sources genuine components through Mendota's authorized channel, matched to your exact model. From Emma Rd we're only 15 minutes west.
Rebuilding, and reinstalling
Recovery from recent storm damage has Grovemont and the Owen area renovating in earnest, and demand for new fireplace and stove installs has climbed with it. Where a Mendota survived, we assess the valve and ignition before ordering parts; where a home is being rebuilt, we set the unit fresh and permit the gas line.
Either way the parts are model-specific — we read the plate rather than guess on a hand-built firebox, so the flame comes back exactly as it was.
Damp valley, natural-gas config
River-valley fog and cold-air pooling leave Swannanoa's masonry chimneys damp, which is hard on dampers and ignition contacts — so we inspect for corrosion alongside the repair. The valley sits on the natural-gas mains, but we confirm fuel and model before sourcing anything.
Gas-line work gets a Buncombe County permit and an inspector, especially worth it on connections disturbed during a rebuild.
Quoted before we start
If your Mendota only needs a cleaning and a small part after the off-season, that's what we'll say — no upsell on a unit that just needs service. We diagnose for $125 and price everything upfront.
It's licensed gas work, never DIY. Call (828) 545-0525 or visit our nearby Asheville showroom.
