In Waynesville, Steady Flame Fireplaces is your Kozy Heat dealer and installer, 35 minutes west of our Asheville showroom throughout Haywood County. At nearly 2,650 feet, Waynesville runs colder and heats longer than most of WNC — so Kozy Heat's real-heater build is the honest pick over a decorative box. Call (828) 545-0525 or come see it.
Sized for a longer, colder season
Waynesville sits high enough that it averages ten to fifteen degrees colder than the lower valleys, and the heating season here runs about three weeks longer than Asheville's. That changes what you should buy. Kozy Heat is American-made in Minnesota and engineered as a genuine heater, not just a flame to look at — the kind of unit that keeps a Hazelwood living room comfortable through a February cold snap instead of flickering while the furnace does the real work. When you lean on a hearth this hard, output stops being a footnote.
Fixing a drafty Hazelwood firebox
Much of the older Hazelwood stock was built around open masonry fireplaces that pull cold air into the room as often as they warm it — a real problem in a town that depends on its hearths. A sealed Kozy Heat insert or direct-vent unit closes off that draft and holds its heat in the room. Waynesville runs on both natural gas and propane, so we match the model — and its orifices and pressures — to whichever fuel your street actually has; the Springfield 36 is the usual call where it's propane.
Permitted and pressure-tested in Haywood
Connecting a fireplace to gas is licensed work in North Carolina; a mason or a big-box store legally can't run the line. As a licensed gas contractor we handle the whole job — spec, the Haywood County permit, the pressure test, and the inspector — so nothing about the install threatens your insurance or a future sale. Kozy Heat is dealer-only, so the move is to see it running at the showroom first. Request a free in-home assessment or call (828) 545-0525.
