In Mars Hill, Steady Flame Fireplaces sells and installs Kozy Heat, 30 minutes north of our Asheville showroom in Madison County. Mars Hill splits between easy-use rentals near the university and rural Spring Creek and Gabriels Creek homes on propane or wood — and Kozy Heat has an honest answer for both. Call (828) 545-0525.
Two kinds of Mars Hill homes
Near Mars Hill University, the demand is for fireplaces that just work — sealed gas units a tenant can run at the flip of a switch, no wood-hauling, no cold-start smoke. Out in the Spring Creek and Gabriels Creek valleys, homes lean on propane and wood across much larger, colder lots. Kozy Heat is American-made in Minnesota as a genuine heater, and the propane Springfield 36 is the usual fit out in those valleys where there's no gas main to tap and a real heater is what you're after.
Built for one of the colder corners
Mars Hill is one of the colder spots we serve, so a fireplace that actually produces heat matters more than a pretty flame. That's Kozy Heat's whole design brief — cold-climate performance out of Minnesota. Madison County runs on both natural gas and propane depending on where you sit, and getting the fuel setup right isn't cosmetic: propane needs different orifices and pressures than natural gas, and a wrong-fuel install soots up and underheats. We match the unit to your street before anything gets connected.
Permitted with Madison County
Connecting any of it to gas is licensed work in North Carolina — a landlord near campus or a mason out in the valley legally can't run the line. As a licensed gas contractor we handle the spec, the Madison County permit, the pressure test, and the inspector visit, so the work protects the property and its insurance.
