In Arden, yes — Steady Flame is your authorized Heat & Glo dealer, 15 minutes from our Asheville showroom. Arden is full of 1980s and '90s homes with tired open masonry fireplaces, and a Heat & Glo insert turns one into a genuine heater. Natural gas serves the area, and as a licensed gas contractor we permit, pipe, and install.
From heat-loser to heater
The open masonry fireplaces in Royal Pines, Skyland, and Avery Creek were never efficient — an open firebox pulls warm room air up the flue and can actually cost you heat on a cold night. A Heat & Glo gas insert fixes that at the source: it seals the opening, adds a properly sized liner and IntelliFire ignition, and turns a drafty 30-year-old box into a sealed appliance that throws real warmth into the room. You keep the existing surround; the performance is what changes.
Clean-face options and the gas advantage
If you're opening up a wall or building an addition instead, the clean-face 6000CLX works as a direct-vent great-room anchor with no chimney at all. Either way, Arden's spot on the natural-gas main is a real advantage — the unit ties straight into the main, so there's no propane tank to site or refill, and no LP setup to get right. That keeps the project simpler and the day-to-day convenience higher.
Licensed on the fuel, permit included
Buying the insert is the easy half; connecting it to gas is licensed work in North Carolina, and a mason or handyman can't legally do it. We can. We pull the Buncombe County permit, pressure-test the line, and meet the inspector — one accountable company, showroom floor to final flame. Call (828) 545-0525.
