Who installs the propane tank versus the fireplace — is it the same company?
In Sylva it's two coordinated parties on a propane home and often just us on a gas one. Your propane supplier owns and fills any tank; Steady Flame installs the fireplace and the licensed gas line. And because Sylva sits in Jackson County, we pull the permit there and meet that county's inspector.
A Jackson County permit, not a Buncombe one
Sylva is in Jackson County, so the permit and inspection for your gas work happen with Jackson County — a detail that genuinely matters, because a permitted, pressure-tested line is what protects a home sale and keeps homeowner's insurance intact. Running or extending that line is licensed work in North Carolina; a showroom, a mason, or a fuel driver legally can't make the connection past the tank the supplier owns. That's our lane wherever the county line falls, and we meet the inspector on every job rather than leaving the paperwork to chance.
Rentals near WCU, historic homes in Dillsboro
The student and rental housing near Western Carolina gets used hard and maintained unevenly, and the historic Dillsboro cottages carry older masonry chimneys with plenty of age on them. On either, a sealed gas insert or fireplace means an appliance we install and, on a propane property, a tank your supplier keeps filled. The Tuckasegee valley's cold-air drainage and river moisture rust dampers and degrade flue liners faster than owners expect, so when we run the gas line we look hard at the venting and liner condition too.
