In Clyde, where 1960s-80s ranch homes carry dated fireplaces ripe for an upgrade, Steady Flame Fireplaces is your authorized Regency dealer — about 25 minutes west of our 629 Emma Rd showroom. A sealed Regency insert modernizes those old fireboxes, installed by a licensed gas and hearth contractor. Call (828) 545-0525.
Ranch fireboxes ready for an insert
Clyde's housing leans toward 1960s-80s ranch builds, and a lot of those original fireplaces are simply dated — inefficient open fireboxes or tired prefab units that were never real heaters. A Regency insert is the fix. Drop a sealed gas or wood insert into the existing opening with a correctly sized liner, and a decorative firebox becomes an efficient heater, usually 70 percent efficient or better, without a full remodel.
River humidity is hard on the chimney
Clyde shares the Pigeon River valley's cold-air drainage and damp air with Canton and Waynesville, and that humidity rusts dampers and degrades masonry chimneys faster than folks expect. A sealed Regency appliance with a stainless liner takes a failing flue out of the picture, and we inspect venting closely on every job here. Clyde's fuel is mixed, so we confirm gas versus propane before recommending a unit.
Haywood County permit, one crew
One licensed company handles the whole job — we run and pressure-test any gas line, pull the Haywood County permit, and meet the inspector, rather than leaving you to find someone to fuel a box a showroom sold you. Come see a Regency burn at the Asheville showroom or book a free in-home assessment. Call (828) 545-0525.
