Arden, North Carolina

Where can I see gas fireplaces burning in person near Asheville before I buy?

Arden's 1980s-90s homes in Royal Pines and Skyland tend to have tired, drafty open masonry fireplaces that pull heat out of the room — and our Asheville showroom at 629 Emma Rd, just 15 minutes north, is where you can see the sealed gas insert that fixes them, burning in person. Arden is on natural-gas mains. Call (828) 545-0525.

The insert that turns a heat-loser into a heater

An open masonry fireplace can actually run a net heat loss — it feels cozy while pulling warm air up the flue. In Arden's established Royal Pines, Skyland and Glenn Bridge neighborhoods, dropping a sealed gas insert into that existing opening is the classic fix: inserts commonly run 70 percent efficient or better. Seeing one lit on the floor shows you exactly how much more heat you get.

Easy trip, natural gas on tap

Fifteen minutes up Hendersonville Road puts you at the showroom, close enough to visit twice. Because Arden sits on natural-gas mains, you have the full range to compare — a Napoleon Oakville insert, a Heat & Glo linear, a Valor for heat that survives an outage. Stand in front of a couple burning and the right one usually declares itself.

Sized and permitted right

Bring photos of your fireplace and a rough measurement so we can size the insert and liner. We pull the permit with Buncombe County and meet the inspector. After the showroom, the next step is a free in-home assessment.
