In Brevard, Steady Flame Fireplaces is your Kozy Heat dealer, and out here that means propane. Brevard is propane country — the downtown homes and the cabins off the ridge roads mostly run on LP, not a gas main — so the Springfield 36 direct-vent is the Kozy Heat we most often spec. Call (828) 545-0525.
Propane country, and a Kozy built for it
Steady Flame runs natural gas along the Asheville and Hendersonville mains, but out in Brevard and Transylvania County you're on propane — that's simply the fuel reality here. The Springfield 36 is Kozy Heat's propane direct-vent unit, American-made in Minnesota, and it's the right call for a propane-country cabin: a real heater with its orifices and pressures set for LP. Propane burns hotter per unit than natural gas, so that setup isn't optional — a wrong-fuel install soots and underperforms. Come see it burning at the Asheville showroom first, since Kozy Heat is dealer-only and never sold off a shelf.
Built to shrug off a wet climate
Brevard catches 80-plus inches of rain a year, and that water is hard on an open masonry chimney — cracked crowns, spalled brick, rusted dampers, and moisture creeping through crawl spaces and chimney chases, worst in the March-to-June wet season. A sealed, direct-vent Kozy Heat vents out a sidewall and doesn't depend on a deteriorating flue, which sidesteps the exact problems your climate keeps causing. If your existing masonry opening is still sound, a Kozy insert with a stainless liner is the other route.
One licensed crew, permit included
Setting a propane appliance and connecting its line is licensed gas work in North Carolina — the landscaper who buried your tank line or the mason who built the surround legally can't make that connection. We're a licensed gas contractor: we spec the unit, coordinate the tank with your propane supplier, pull the Transylvania County permit, pressure-test, and meet the inspector.
