In Clyde, yes — Steady Flame is your authorized Heat & Glo dealer, about 25 minutes from our Asheville showroom. Clyde's 1960s-through-'80s ranch homes tend to have dated fireplaces that are ready for an insert, and a Heat & Glo unit modernizes them. Natural gas or propane, we set it up right — and as a licensed gas contractor we permit and install.
Ranch fireplaces, ready for an upgrade
A lot of Clyde is 1960s-to-'80s ranch and split-level homes, and their original fireplaces are exactly the kind that benefit most from an insert — dated, inefficient, often a builder box that never heated well. A Heat & Glo gas insert drops into the existing opening, seals it, and adds IntelliFire ignition, converting a tired firebox into a clean, efficient heater without a full remodel. Inserts commonly run 70 percent efficient or better, while the open box they replace can actually lose net heat.
River humidity is hard on hardware
Clyde shares the Pigeon valley's cold-air drainage and river humidity with Canton and Waynesville, and that damp rusts dampers and slowly degrades masonry chimneys. A sealed Heat & Glo unit doesn't depend on an open masonry flue staying sound, so there's less exposed metal for the moisture to attack. Clyde is mixed-fuel — some homes on the gas main, others on propane — and we configure the unit for whichever you run, with the right orifices and pressures.
Permit and inspector, Haywood County
Connecting gas is licensed work in North Carolina; a mason can rebuild a firebox but can't legally run the fuel line. We can. We pull the Haywood County permit, pressure-test the line, and meet the inspector, so your install and warranty both hold. Come see the insert options burning at the showroom. Call (828) 545-0525.
