In Canton, Steady Flame Fireplaces sells and installs Kozy Heat, 20 minutes west of our Asheville showroom in Haywood County. After the Pigeon River flooding damaged so many hearths and gas appliances here, a lot of Canton homes need a fully inspected replacement — and Kozy Heat's real-heater build is a solid choice. Call (828) 545-0525.
Rebuilding a hearth the flooding took
The flooding along the Pigeon River valley left a lot of Canton homes with water-damaged fireboxes and gas appliances that can't just be dried out and relit — submerged valves, controls, and connections have to be replaced, not gambled on. When you're starting that part of the rebuild fresh, Kozy Heat is worth a look: built in Minnesota as a genuine heater, available as the Springfield 36 for propane homes or a natural-gas unit where the main reaches. Come see one running at the showroom before you commit, since it's a dealer-only line.
Gas connections get inspected, not assumed
After a flood, the gas side is the part you don't guess on. Every line and connection we touch is pressure-tested and permitted through Haywood County, with the inspector meeting us on site — that's the difference between a hearth that's safe to trust and one that only looks fine. Canton's valley-floor fog and dampness also rust dampers and caps faster than you'd expect, so an old open chimney is rarely the thing to rebuild around; a sealed Kozy Heat sidesteps that recurring corrosion entirely.
Licensed for the whole job
We're a licensed gas contractor, which in North Carolina is what it takes to legally run or reconnect a gas line — the general contractor rebuilding the house can't do that part. One team handles the appliance, the venting, the line, the permit, and the inspection, so nothing falls through the cracks between trades during a stressful rebuild.
