Waynesville sits near 2,650 feet, where the heating season runs about three weeks longer than Asheville's — so a Heatilator you actually lean on matters. Steady Flame Fireplaces carries and installs the brand; the value-priced Novus nXt 36 direct-vent gas unit is our showroom Heatilator, 35 minutes east in Asheville. Call (828) 545-0525.
A hearth you actually lean on at 2,600 feet
Down in Asheville a fireplace is often ambiance. Up here it earns its keep — Waynesville runs ten to fifteen degrees colder and holds winter weeks longer, and the older Hazelwood housing stock is full of open masonry fireboxes that lose more heat up the flue than they put in the room. The Novus nXt 36 is a sealed 26,000 BTU direct-vent unit that keeps its heat in the room instead of the chimney. It's the value end of the line, but at this elevation reliable warmth beats a fancy front.
Natural gas or propane in Hazelwood?
Waynesville is mixed fuel — some streets have a gas main, plenty of homes run propane. The Novus nXt we display is set up for natural gas, so the first thing we sort out is what's actually feeding your house. If you're on propane, we handle the tank connection, regulator, and appliance setup with your supplier, and we're honest if a propane-built line like Kozy Heat's Springfield 36 is the smarter call for a cold cabin. Right appliance, right fuel — we don't force the fit.
Haywood County work, done once
Gas piping is licensed work in North Carolina, so a mason or a big-box aisle can't legally connect your fireplace to fuel. We can: we size and run the line, pull the Haywood County permit, pressure-test it, and meet the inspector. One crew for the appliance, the venting, and the gas — no stitching the job together at 2,600 feet. See the Novus nXt in Asheville; the in-home estimate is free. Call (828) 545-0525.
