Swannanoa is rebuilding, and a lot of those renovated homes are getting a proper hearth for the first time — heat that works when the power doesn't. We carry Mendota at our Asheville showroom, 629 Emma Rd, just 15 minutes west, and install it across Buncombe County as your licensed gas contractor. It's a dealer-only luxury line, so see the FullView lit first. Call (828) 545-0525.
Building back with heat that outlasts the grid
The storm that tore through the Swannanoa valley left a lot of homes being rebuilt from the studs, and the lesson stuck: the houses that stayed warm through the multi-day outage were the ones with a working hearth. A Mendota with millivolt or battery-backup ignition gives you gas heat that keeps running when the power's down — power-optional heat, not a decoration that dies with the lights.
Grovemont's old fireboxes, done right this time
In the older Grovemont-area homes from the 1940s through the '60s, the original masonry firebox is usually an inefficient draft — and the valley's fog, cold-air pooling, and damp are hard on masonry chimneys over time. A sealed Mendota, set for the natural-gas mains that serve Swannanoa, drops in and finally makes that spot a real heater. If you're renovating anyway, it's the moment to solve it properly.
Buncombe permit, one accountable company
Connecting the gas line is licensed work in North Carolina, so we pull the Buncombe County permit, pressure-test the line, and meet the inspector — not something a showroom or your general contractor can legally do. Mendota is dealer-only; come see a FullView burning at 629 Emma Rd, 15 minutes away, then call (828) 545-0525 for a free in-home assessment.
