In Mars Hill, yes — Steady Flame is your authorized Heat & Glo dealer, about 30 minutes north of our Asheville showroom. Between the university-area rentals and the rural valleys out Spring Creek and Gabriels Creek, a lot of homes run on propane or wood. Heat & Glo sets up cleanly for LP, and as a licensed gas contractor we permit and install.
Propane in the valleys, easy gas near town
Mars Hill splits into two worlds: rentals and homes near the university, and rural properties out in the Spring Creek and Gabriels Creek valleys that lean on propane or wood. For the rural side, a Heat & Glo unit configured for LP — correct orifices, correct pressures — gives you gas convenience without a natural-gas main. Propane burns hotter per unit, so that setup is what keeps the flame clean and the glass clear. It's one of the colder spots we serve, so real output matters.
Trading a wood chore for a switch
Plenty of Mars Hill homes still heat with wood, and if you love it, keep it. But if you're tired of hauling, cold-start smoke, and the creosote sweep, a wood-to-gas conversion is one of the more satisfying upgrades we do — a sealed Heat & Glo insert with a proper liner gives you real, efficient heat at the flip of a switch. Every conversion needs the licensed gas line, and that's ours to run.
Permitted, inspected, one company
Connecting gas — natural or propane — is licensed work in North Carolina; a delivery crew that drops the box can't legally finish it. We can. We pull the county permit, pressure-test the line, and meet the inspector, and we back the install with our own workmanship guarantee on top of the manufacturer's warranty. See it burning at the Asheville showroom first. Call (828) 545-0525.
