Steady Flame Fireplaces sells and installs Majestic throughout Waynesville, where winters run harder than most of WNC. At nearly 2,650 feet your heating season stretches about three weeks longer than Asheville's, so a fireplace here has to be a real heater — not just ambiance. We install and permit as a licensed Haywood County gas contractor. Call (828) 545-0525.
A hearth that actually earns its keep
Waynesville sits 10 to 15 degrees colder than the lower valley towns, and a lot of the older Hazelwood housing stock leans on the fireplace to get through it. The trouble is that many of those original open masonry fireboxes pull more warm air up the chimney than they put into the room. A Majestic Meridian 42 puts out 30,000 BTU of steady, controllable heat, and when we set it as a sealed insert into an existing firebox, the draftiness goes away and the heat stays. For a house at this elevation, that difference is the whole point.
Natural gas or propane — we set it up right
Waynesville and Haywood County are mixed-fuel country: some streets have natural-gas service, and plenty of homes toward the edges run on propane. Majestic units convert between NG and LP with the right kit, and the setup is not interchangeable — propane burns hotter per unit and needs different orifices and pressures, or the unit soots. We dial it in for exactly what's feeding your house. And since Waynesville's colder snaps sometimes come with outages, a millivolt or battery-backup ignition means the fire still lights when the grid is down.
The permit and the drive
We're about 35 minutes west of our Asheville showroom, and we pull the Haywood County permit and meet the inspector on every gas line — that paperwork protects your insurance and your home's resale. Come see the Meridian 42 burning at 629 Emma Rd, or call (828) 545-0525 for a free in-home assessment in Waynesville.
