Steady Flame Fireplaces carries and installs the brand; the Novus nXt 36 is our showroom unit, 15 minutes east in Asheville. Call (828) 545-0525.
New subdivisions on gas, Hominy Valley on propane
Candler is growing fast, and fuel isn't uniform: the newer subdivisions around Enka-Candler are reaching natural-gas mains, while properties out Hominy Valley and the Pisgah Highway are often on propane. The Novus nXt 36 we display is set up for natural gas, so on a gas-main street it's a clean, value-priced install. On propane, we handle the tank-side connection and appliance setup, and we're honest if a propane-built line suits your place better.
Clean burn for the valley bowl
Hominy Valley sits in a natural bowl, and on still winter days that geography can trap woodsmoke and hold air close. A sealed, clean-burning appliance is an easy way to have real fire without adding to that — a direct-vent gas Novus nXt burns cleanly and vents outside, and even the wood stoves we install are EPA-certified for far less smoke than an old open fireplace. A lot of Candler owners with basic builder-grade decorative boxes want exactly this: an upgrade to something that actually heats and burns clean.
Buncombe County permit
Connecting gas — natural or propane — is licensed work in North Carolina, and a showroom legally can't do it. We size and run the line, pull the Buncombe County permit, pressure-test, and meet the inspector. Come see the Novus nXt burning in Asheville, tell us your street, and we'll figure the fuel. The in-home estimate is free — call (828) 545-0525.
