See the line running at our Asheville showroom, 25 minutes east at 629 Emma Rd. Electric mounts with no venting and no gas line. Get honest sizing, call (828) 545-0525. We display and install; there's no online cart.
Refreshing a dated ranch fireplace
Clyde is full of 1960s-through-'80s ranch-style homes whose original fireplaces are showing their age and ready for something newer. Electric is one of the simplest ways to modernize that wall — a Dimplex mounts clean and flat, throws a convincing LED flame, and needs no venting, no chimney work, and no gas line.
For a dated ranch that just wants an updated look and a little warmth, it's an easy call. We keep the IgniteXL Bold 50 (XLF5017-XD) on the floor and can source the wider Dimplex line.
Damp valley, honest limits
Clyde shares the Pigeon valley's cold-air drainage and river humidity, which rust dampers and degrade masonry chimneys over time — problems electric simply doesn't have, since it vents nothing. Treat it as supplemental heat: about 5,000 BTU, roughly 1,500 watts, up to around 400 square feet, with a flame-only summer mode.
The honest caveats hold — it won't heat the whole ranch, and it goes dark in an outage. If you want heat that survives a Haywood County power failure, we'll compare a gas or wood option and permit it through the county. Electric just needs the right circuit and a level mount.
See it before you decide
