Where can I see gas fireplaces burning in person near Asheville before I buy?
From Clyde it's about a 25-minute drive east to our Asheville showroom at 629 Emma Rd, where several fireplaces burn on the floor. A lot of Clyde's 1960s-to-80s ranch homes have dated fireplaces that are ready for an insert upgrade, and seeing an insert lit in person is the fastest way to picture yours transformed. Call (828) 545-0525.
Ranch fireboxes, ready for an upgrade
Clyde's older ranch-style builds often have a tired, inefficient firebox that begs for a sealed insert. Drop one into the existing opening and you get a real heater — inserts commonly run 70 percent efficient or better — instead of a hole that leaks warm air up the flue. On the floor you can stand in front of an insert burning and judge the flame and heat before committing.
Mixed fuel, damp river air
Clyde runs mixed fuel, so let us set the display unit to your gas or propane before you judge it. Like neighboring Canton and Waynesville, the valley's cold-air drainage and river humidity rust dampers and degrade masonry chimneys, which is one more reason a sealed insert with a fresh liner beats nursing an old open hearth.
Permitted with Haywood County
Bring photos of the fireplace and a rough measurement so we can size the insert and liner. We pull the permit with Haywood County and meet the inspector on every gas line. After the showroom, the next step is a free in-home assessment.
