Who installs the propane tank versus the fireplace — is it the same company?
In Fletcher, often there's no propane tank in the picture at all — much of town sits on the natural-gas main, where the utility owns the meter and Steady Flame simply runs a permitted line to the fireplace. Where a home is on propane, the supplier owns the tank and we make the licensed connection from it.
On the main means no tank to coordinate
Fletcher's 1990s subdivisions and the busy I-26 corridor are largely served by the natural-gas line. On the main there's no tank and no fuel delivery to schedule — just a meter the utility owns and a pressure-tested branch we extend to your hearth. That branch is still licensed gas work, so a builder or the showroom that sold the firebox legally can't finish it, even though there's no tank involved. We can, we pull the Henderson County permit, and we meet the inspector. It's the simplest version of this question — usually one fuel source, one licensed company.
Builder-grade upgrades and commercial jobs
A lot of those 1990s Fletcher homes came with basic builder-grade fireplaces owners are ready to upgrade to something that actually heats the room, and the airport-area commercial properties here ask for gas fireplaces and outdoor features more than the surrounding residential neighborhoods do. On any of them, we handle the appliance, the venting, and the gas line as one accountable job. On the rare Fletcher property beyond the main, propane takes over, and then we coordinate the tank with your supplier while keeping the connection and the appliance in our lane.
