In Leicester, yes — Steady Flame is your authorized Heat & Glo dealer, 15 minutes from our Asheville showroom. Out on these rural properties propane and wood heat are common, and some remote homes have limited electrical capacity — all of which shapes the Heat & Glo unit we recommend. As a licensed gas contractor, we permit, pipe, and install.
Propane country, and the grid isn't a given
Leicester's rural lots — Sandy Mush, Turkey Creek, up Newfound Road — are propane-and-wood country, and some of the more remote homes have limited electrical capacity to begin with. That points toward a Heat & Glo unit configured for LP with an ignition that doesn't lean hard on the grid. Cold-air drainage runs these valleys 5 to 8 degrees colder than Asheville on a clear winter night, so a sealed unit that puts real heat into the room, not up a flue, earns its place.
Heat when the power's out
When a storm takes the lines down out here — and it does — central heat goes with it. A Heat & Glo unit with IntelliFire keeps producing heat with the grid down, so a room stays warm on the coldest, darkest night. If total grid independence is the goal, wood is the gold standard and we install and service that too; for most homes, a sealed propane fireplace is the simpler path to backup warmth. We'll talk through which fits your setup honestly.
Licensed for the gas, permitted work
Propane connection is licensed work in North Carolina — the tank is coordinated with your supplier, but the regulator, piping, and appliance hookup are ours, and a handyman can't legally do them. We pull the Buncombe County permit and meet the inspector. One accountable company, showroom to final flame. Call (828) 545-0525.
