In historic Flat Rock, where 1800s homes carry oversized open masonry fireplaces and aging clay flue liners, Steady Flame Fireplaces is your authorized Regency dealer — 30 minutes south of our 629 Emma Rd showroom. We fit sealed Regency wood and gas units into those old fireboxes as a licensed gas and hearth contractor. Call (828) 545-0525.
Character homes, drafty hearths
Flat Rock's old open masonry fireplaces are beautiful and terrible heaters — an open hearth can actually run a net heat loss, pulling warm room air straight up an aging clay-lined flue. A sealed Regency insert changes that math. Drop a Regency wood or gas insert into the existing opening with a correctly sized stainless liner, and you keep the historic mantel and surround while gaining a fireplace that genuinely warms the room.
Sealed heat without the downdraft
Those tall old flues also let cold air settle in like a plug and spill draft into the room when the fire's out. A sealed appliance closes that loop. If you'd rather add a fireplace to a room that never had one, a Regency direct-vent gas unit from the Horizon or City series vents out a sidewall — no chimney required — and runs clean and quiet on Flat Rock's natural-gas service.
Henderson County permit and honest advice
We pull the Henderson County permit, run and pressure-test any gas line, and meet the inspector — one licensed company for appliance, venting, and fuel. And we'll tell you honestly whether your old flue is worth relining or the firebox is better sealed off. See a Regency burn at the showroom or book a free in-home assessment. Call (828) 545-0525.
