In Arden, Steady Flame Fireplaces is your authorized Napoleon dealer, and the town's tired 1980s and '90s open masonry fireplaces are exactly what a Napoleon insert was made to fix. We turn a drafty heat-loser into a real heater. We're 15 minutes south of the showroom at 629 Emma Rd; call (828) 545-0525.
The Royal Pines problem, solved
Across Skyland, Royal Pines, and Glenn Bridge, the open masonry fireplaces that came with those '80s and '90s homes look fine and heat terribly; on a cold night an open firebox can run a net heat loss, quietly pulling warm air up the flue. A Napoleon Oakville X4 gas insert (GDIX4N) drops into that existing opening, seals it, and turns it into a 20,000-BTU heater that inserts commonly run at 70% efficiency or better. Same fireplace, completely different result, flame at the flip of a switch, no wood to haul.
Gas is already here, that's the easy part
Arden sits on the natural-gas mains, so feeding a new Napoleon is usually a short, clean run rather than a long line pull. That keeps these projects among the more straightforward we do, and it opens up the whole catalog: insert, the Ascent 36, or the Vector 50 linear if you're redoing a room. Down through Avery Creek and along Glenn Bridge Road it's the same easy setup, which is why we do so many of these insert and direct-vent jobs on the south end of Buncombe County in a single day. Come see them lit at 629 Emma Rd, 15 minutes up the road, and compare the flames side by side.
Permitted, inspected, guaranteed
A showroom or a mason can sell you a firebox, but in North Carolina only a licensed gas contractor can legally connect it; we pull the Buncombe County permit, pressure-test the line, and meet the inspector. One company owns the appliance, the venting, the gas, and the workmanship guarantee. Call (828) 545-0525 for a free in-home assessment.
