Sylva is one of our farther runs — 50 minutes west of our Asheville showroom at 629 Emma Rd — so we plan Jackson County jobs to be done right in as few trips as possible. We carry Mendota there and install it as your licensed gas contractor. It's a dealer-only luxury line, so see the FullView lit before you commit. Call (828) 545-0525.
Planning around the distance
Being 50 minutes out changes how we work Sylva: we confirm fuel, venting, and gas-line routing at the assessment so the install runs in as few visits as possible, and we lean hard on annual service before winter — a part that fails in January waits longer this far from the shop. A sealed Mendota helps here too, because there's less to go wrong than an open masonry system exposed to the valley's damp.
River-valley moisture and old Dillsboro chimneys
The Tuckasegee valley funnels cold, damp air that rusts dampers and degrades flue liners faster than you'd expect, and Dillsboro's historic homes carry some of the oldest masonry chimneys around. A direct-vent Mendota sidesteps a questionable flue entirely, venting out a sidewall — and in a heavily used rental near campus, sealed and simple beats an open firebox nobody maintains. We set the unit for whichever fuel your home runs.
Jackson County permit, one accountable crew
Connecting the gas line is licensed work in North Carolina; a showroom can't legally do it. We pull the Jackson County permit, pressure-test the line, and meet the inspector, so you're not coordinating trades from an hour away. Mendota is dealer-only — see a FullView burning at 629 Emma Rd, then call (828) 545-0525 for a free assessment.
Fireplace help in Sylva
We install and service fireplaces throughout Sylva and the rest of Jackson County — just 50 minutes west from our Asheville-area showroom.
