Out in Mills River, many homes run on propane across those big rural lots — and Steady Flame Fireplaces is your authorized Regency dealer for them, about 25 minutes south of our Asheville showroom at 629 Emma Rd. Regency is installed, not shipped; you'll see it burn and have it fueled by a licensed gas contractor. Call (828) 545-0525.
Propane, and how far the line has to travel
Mills River is a mix of farmland, forest, and newer development, and many properties sit on propane rather than a gas main. On large lots, one real cost driver is simply how far the fuel line has to run from the tank to the fireplace — something we map out during the assessment. A Regency gas fireplace or insert configured for propane gives you clean, hot heat; if you'd rather skip the fuel bill, Regency's wood appliances heat off the grid entirely.
Room to size it right
With the open valleys and larger homes around Horse Shoe and Banner Farm, sizing matters — bigger isn't automatically better, and an oversized unit short-cycles and wastes fuel. We figure the room's heat load and match a Regency model to it, whether that's a sealed gas fireplace from the Horizon or City series or a wood-burning appliance for a great room. The right appliance beats the priciest one every time.
Henderson County permit, one crew
We pull the Henderson County permit, coordinate the tank hookup with your propane supplier, run and pressure-test the gas line, and meet the inspector — the licensed work a hardscaper or general contractor legally can't do in NC.
