Steady Flame Fireplaces is your closest source for Heatilator in Asheville — our showroom sits right in town at 629 Emma Rd in West Asheville, where the Novus nXt 36 direct-vent gas fireplace burns on the floor. It's a value-priced natural-gas unit that suits a South Asheville new build or a room that never had a hearth. Call (828) 545-0525.
Two Ashevilles under one roof
Ask this question in Montford or North Asheville and you're usually standing over an original masonry firebox — handsome, drafty, and pulling warm room air straight up the chimney. Ask it in a newer South Asheville build and you've likely got a gas main at the wall and a spot begging for a clean, sealed fire. The Novus nXt 36 answers the second case squarely: 26,000 BTU, IntelliFire ignition, direct-vent out a sidewall, no chimney needed. For the older masonry, we usually talk through a sealed insert instead — same honest, brand-agnostic advice, different box.
We run the line and pull the Buncombe permit
Buying the fireplace is the easy part. In North Carolina, connecting it to fuel is licensed work — a furniture floor or a big-box aisle can hand you a firebox, but they can't legally tie it into gas. We're a licensed gas contractor: we size and run the line, pull the Buncombe County permit, pressure-test the connection, and meet the inspector. One company owns the appliance, the venting, the gas, and the workmanship guarantee — no chasing down someone licensed to make it burn after the fact.
Come stand in front of it
We're not a website with a shopping cart, and we'd rather you didn't pick a fireplace sight-unseen. Since our showroom is right here on Emma Road, it's an easy stop — see the Novus nXt lit, feel the heat, and let us walk you through whether Heatilator is the right call or whether a Napoleon or Heat & Glo suits your room better. No pressure. The in-home estimate is free — call (828) 545-0525 and come by.
