In Black Mountain, Steady Flame Fireplaces is your authorized Regency dealer — just 15 minutes east of our 629 Emma Rd showroom, one of the closest towns we serve. Regency sells through trained dealers only, so you'll watch the wood and gas units burn in person and have yours installed by a licensed gas and hearth contractor. Call (828) 545-0525.
Cold mornings the valley makes colder
The Swannanoa Valley traps cold air, so Black Mountain and Montreat mornings can run 10 to 15 degrees below Asheville's, with frost dates that linger into late spring. That's a lot of hours leaning on a hearth. Regency's strength is genuine heat — the Grandview G600C radiant wood fireplace and the Cascades F1500 wood stove are built to warm a room hard, and when the grid goes down, wood keeps producing heat with no electricity involved.
Wooded, shaded, moisture-prone lots
Montreat's heavily wooded lots keep houses cool and damp, and shade plus moisture is tough on masonry chimneys. If your open fireplace draws poorly or the flue's seen better days, a sealed Regency insert with a proper liner fixes the draft and the efficiency in one move. Tall trees and ridge-and-valley terrain up here also cause downdrafts — sealed direct-vent gas from Regency's Horizon or City series takes that variable off the table.
Fifteen minutes, one licensed company
Being this close means easy showroom visits and quick service. We run and pressure-test any gas line — licensed work no mason or handyman can legally do in NC — pull the Buncombe County permit, and meet the inspector. One company owns the appliance, the venting, and the fuel from start to finish. Book a free in-home assessment. Call (828) 545-0525.
