In Sylva, yes — Steady Flame is your authorized Heat & Glo dealer, about 50 minutes west of our Asheville showroom. From student rentals near Western Carolina to the historic homes in Dillsboro, Heat & Glo has a unit that fits, and as a licensed gas contractor we permit, pipe, vent, and install it. We serve Jackson County start to finish.
Two very different fireplace jobs in one town
Sylva runs from heavily-used student and rental housing near WCU — often inconsistently maintained — to compact historic homes in Dillsboro with old masonry chimneys. Those call for different Heat & Glo answers. A rental landlord usually wants a sealed, low-maintenance direct-vent unit that tenants can't misuse and that needs little more than an annual tune-up; a Dillsboro homeowner more often wants an insert that upgrades a character fireplace without gutting it. We'll match the unit to how the house actually gets used.
The valley is hard on old flues
The Tuckasegee valley drains cold air down into town and holds river moisture, and that combination rusts dampers and degrades flue liners faster than in drier spots. A sealed Heat & Glo unit doesn't depend on an open flue staying in good shape, which is one less thing the damp can ruin. Sylva is mixed-fuel — some gas, plenty of propane out from the center — and we set each unit up for the fuel it's running.
One licensed company, worth the drive
Fifty minutes out, you don't want a job stitched across a showroom, a mason, and someone you're still hunting to make it burn. We're one accountable company: we source the Heat & Glo unit, run and pressure-test the gas line, pull the county permit, and meet the inspector. Connecting gas is licensed work in North Carolina — our lane. See it burning at the Asheville showroom on your way through. Call (828) 545-0525.
