Where can I see gas fireplaces burning in person near Asheville before I buy?
From Fletcher it's about a 20-minute drive north to our Asheville showroom at 629 Emma Rd, with several fireplaces burning on the floor. Fletcher sits firmly on natural-gas mains, and many homes here have a builder-grade box from a 1990s subdivision — seeing a real gas unit lit next to that is the quickest way to feel the upgrade. Call (828) 545-0525.
From builder-grade to a real fireplace
A lot of Fletcher's 1990s-era subdivisions came with a basic factory firebox that does little more than look like a fireplace. On the floor you can stand in front of a Napoleon Ascent or a Heat & Glo linear burning and immediately feel what a builder-grade box never delivered — real heat, a convincing flame, and a designer front. That side-by-side is why people drive up.
Homes and businesses alike
Fletcher's I-26 and airport corridor also brings steady commercial demand for gas fireplaces and outdoor features, more than the surrounding residential areas. Whether it's a home great room or a lobby, being on natural gas gives you the full run of direct-vent and linear options, and we can show them running so you can judge scale and heat in person.
Bring the room, then we come to you
Come with photos, a measurement, and how the space gets used. We pull the permit with Henderson County and meet the inspector on every gas line. After the showroom, the next step is a free in-home assessment of venting, the gas line, and clearances.
