Who runs an outdoor gas line — a plumber, HVAC company, or fireplace installer?
In Arden, an outdoor gas line is licensed work only a licensed gas contractor can connect — us. Established 1980s and 90s neighborhoods like Royal Pines and Skyland are upgrading tired outdoor spaces, and Biltmore Park's retail and offices want fire features too. Arden runs on natural gas, permitted with Buncombe County.
Established neighborhoods, upgrading outdoors
Arden's Royal Pines and Skyland homes date to the 1980s and 90s, and their open masonry fireplaces are known for pulling heat out of rooms — the same homeowners fixing that indoors are adding real gas fire pits and patio heaters outside. Biltmore Park's retail and office spaces want the same features. The rule doesn't change with the address: a landscaper or mason can build the patio, but the fuel connection is licensed gas work, and that's the piece we own. It's our lane and no one else's.
Tapping Arden's gas main
Arden sits solidly on natural gas, so we typically tee off the existing house or building line rather than set a propane tank, sizing the run so the new outdoor feature and the indoor appliances all keep pressure. We confirm capacity before committing to the tie-in. We run and bury outdoor-rated line, add a shutoff, pull the Buncombe County permit, meet the inspector, and pressure-test every foot before it feeds a flame.
One licensed crew, 15 minutes south
One company owning the appliance and the fuel means no stitching the job across a showroom, a hardscaper, and someone licensed to make it burn — just a single accountable name and one workmanship guarantee, 15 minutes south of our Asheville shop. On a Biltmore Park commercial patio, that accountability matters as much as on a Skyland backyard. It's a short drive for any follow-up, too. Call (828) 545-0525.
