Where can I see gas fireplaces burning in person near Asheville before I buy?
Fairview is propane country with a lot of wooded lots, so before the easy 15-minute drive west to our Asheville showroom at 629 Emma Rd, know you'll want to see the LP-configured and wood-burning units — several set up to burn on the floor. Standing in front of a flame tells you what a brochure can't. Call (828) 545-0525.
Propane and wood, not a gas main
Out in Fairview — Cane Creek Valley, Garren Creek, the Charlotte Highway corridor — homes run on propane and wood rather than a natural-gas main. Propane burns hotter per unit and needs different orifices, so tell us your fuel and we'll walk you to the right floor models: a Kozy Heat Springfield built for propane-country cabins, or a Valor that heats with zero electricity when the power's down.
Made for wood heat, if you want it
Fairview's heavily wooded lots make wood heat a natural fit, and plenty of homeowners here keep a stove or wood-burning fireplace as their real heat source. On the floor you can see a Regency wood stove or fireplace burning and feel the difference from gas. Just remember creosote buildup is the leading cause of chimney fires here — a fall sweep is not optional if you burn wood.
Close, permitted, inspected
Fifteen minutes east makes a return visit painless. Bring photos and a measurement. We pull the permit with Buncombe County and meet the inspector on every gas or propane line — only a licensed gas contractor can legally connect the fuel. After the showroom, the next step is a free in-home assessment.
