Swannanoa, North Carolina

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

In Swannanoa, a lot of fireplaces are going into homes being rebuilt and renovated after the storm — and our Asheville showroom at 629 Emma Rd, just 15 minutes west, is where you can see the options burning before you spec one. Swannanoa is on natural-gas mains, so you'll be comparing direct-vent and linear gas. Call (828) 545-0525.

Specifying a fireplace for a rebuild

Storm recovery has Swannanoa homeowners putting new fireplaces and stoves into rebuilt Grovemont-area homes, many of which had original 1940s-to-60s masonry fireboxes. If you're building back, it's the right moment to choose a sealed direct-vent unit that starts clean and delivers real, power-optional heat — and to see it lit on the floor rather than pick from a rendering.

Heat that outlasts the power

The valley taught everyone here what days without electricity feels like, so backup heat is on people's minds. On natural gas with millivolt or battery-backup ignition, a fireplace keeps throwing heat with the grid down — central heating can't. Feel a Valor, which runs on zero electricity, and a Napoleon with battery backup, and you'll understand the difference. Swannanoa's river-valley fog and cold-air pooling are hard on masonry, another point for a sealed unit.

Close, permitted, and inspected

Fifteen minutes makes it easy to come more than once. 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.
