Mars Hill, North Carolina

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

From Mars Hill it's about a 30-minute drive south to our Asheville showroom at 629 Emma Rd, where several fireplaces burn on the floor. Mars Hill splits between easy-use gas for the university-area rentals and propane or wood out in the Spring Creek and Gabriels Creek valleys, so what you'll want to see depends on which you are. Call (828) 545-0525.

Two kinds of Mars Hill home

Around Mars Hill University, landlords and homeowners want a fireplace that lights at the flip of a switch and takes almost no fuss — sealed gas is the answer, and you can see a Napoleon Ascent or a Heatilator Novus burning on the floor. Out in the Spring Creek and Gabriels Creek valleys it's a different world: propane and wood heat, where a Kozy Heat on LP or a wood stove earns its keep.

Cold enough to want real heat

Mars Hill runs colder than the lower towns, so most folks here are after heat output, not just a pretty flame. A Valor is worth feeling in person — it throws radiant warmth with zero electricity, which matters on a rural valley property where the power can go out for a while. Tell us your fuel and we'll walk you to the units set up for it.

Permitted with Madison County

Come with wall photos, a measurement, and how you'll use it. We pull the permit with Madison County and meet the inspector on every gas line. After the showroom, the honest next step is a free in-home assessment of venting, the fuel line, and clearances.
