Leicester, North Carolina

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

Leicester is close to us — the Emma Road showroom sits on Asheville's west side, about 15 minutes east — and it's where you can see the fireplaces that suit rural Leicester burning in person. Many homes here run on propane or wood, and some remote properties have limited electrical capacity, so no-electricity units deserve a look. Call (828) 545-0525.

Heat that doesn't need the grid

On Leicester's big rural lots — Sandy Mush, Turkey Creek, Newfound Road — some properties have limited electrical capacity, and cold-air drainage runs these valleys 5 to 8 degrees colder than Asheville on clear nights. That makes a Valor worth feeling in person: radiant heat, zero electricity, no blower or circuit board, and it keeps throwing warmth straight through a grid-down stretch. A wood stove does the same with total fuel independence.

Propane and wood, not a gas main

Leicester is mixed but leans toward propane and wood rather than a natural-gas main, so tell us your fuel and we'll set the floor unit to match — LP burns hotter and needs different orifices. You can compare a propane heater, a wood stove, and a realistic gas log set all in one visit.

Close, permitted, done right

Fifteen minutes up the Leicester Highway side of town makes a second visit easy. Bring photos and a measurement. We pull the permit with Buncombe County and meet the inspector. After the showroom, the next step is a free in-home assessment.
