In Fairview, Steady Flame Fireplaces sells and installs Kozy Heat, 15 minutes east of our Asheville showroom in Buncombe County. Fairview is propane country — wooded rural lots off the gas main — so the Springfield 36 direct-vent is the Kozy Heat we most often spec, and it's a clean step up from a smoky wood firebox. Call (828) 545-0525.
Propane country, wood-heat roots
Fairview is large wooded lots up Cane Creek and Garren Creek, off the natural-gas main and on propane — one of the propane pockets east of Asheville. Wood heat has always been popular here, but it comes with the chore no one loves: creosote is the leading cause of chimney fires, and skipping the fall sweep is how it happens. Converting to a propane Kozy Heat trades the hauling, ash, and creosote for a genuine heater at the flip of a switch — the Springfield 36, American-made in Minnesota for exactly this cold.
Wood-to-gas, done right
A wood-to-gas conversion is one of the most satisfying upgrades we do, and in Fairview it usually means a sealed propane insert or direct-vent unit that gives you real, controllable heat without the woodpile. Every conversion needs a licensed gas line run to it — that's the part that can't be skipped or handed to the mason who built the fireplace. Kozy Heat is dealer-only, so come see the Springfield 36 burning at the showroom, fifteen minutes west, before you commit to leaving wood behind.
Tank, line, and Buncombe permit
Connecting propane is licensed work in North Carolina, and we're a licensed gas contractor: we coordinate the tank with your supplier, run and pressure-test the line, pull the Buncombe County permit, and meet the inspector — one accountable crew from the showroom to the final flame, on a rural property where you don't want three trades pointing at each other.
