Call (828) 545-0525.
A fresh hearth in a rebuilt home
A lot of Swannanoa is being rebuilt and renovated after the storm damage, and that's driven steady demand for new fireplace and stove installs along the way. A rebuild is actually the ideal moment to add a hearth right — venting and gas runs are easy while walls are still open. Kozy Heat is American-made in Minnesota as a genuine heater, so it's a fixture worth building into a home you're putting back together to keep for the long haul, not a decorative afterthought bolted on at the end.
The Grovemont masonry question
Older Grovemont homes from the 1940s through the '60s were built around original masonry fireplaces, and Swannanoa's river-valley fog, cold-air pooling, and damp air are hard on that masonry over time. Where an original firebox is still sound, the Chaska 25L natural-gas insert seals and relines it into a heater; where it isn't, a direct-vent Kozy Heat vents out a sidewall and skips the chimney entirely. Swannanoa's on the gas main, so either one runs off the line with no propane tank to manage.
Fifteen minutes, fully licensed
Swannanoa is a quick fifteen minutes from the showroom, and every gas connection is done by a licensed gas contractor — not subbed to whoever's already on the rebuild crew. We spec the unit, pull the Buncombe County permit, pressure-test the line, and meet the inspector, so the gas side is documented and code-correct when the house comes back together.
