For Sylva and Dillsboro, Steady Flame Fireplaces is your authorized Regency dealer — about 50 minutes west of our Asheville showroom at 629 Emma Rd. Regency sells only through trained dealers, so you'll see the wood and gas units burning here and have yours installed by a licensed gas and hearth contractor who pulls your Jackson County permit. Call (828) 545-0525.
From student rentals to historic Dillsboro
Sylva's housing runs two directions. Near WCU, rental and student housing gets heavy use and inconsistent upkeep, so a sealed, low-fuss Regency gas fireplace or insert — nothing to haul, a knob to turn — makes sense for landlords and owners alike. In historic Dillsboro, compact 19th-century homes carry older masonry chimneys that often need a fresh liner; a sealed Regency insert restores real, safe heat while keeping the old character intact.
River-valley moisture is the enemy of flues
The Tuckasegee valley's cold-air drainage and river moisture rust dampers and degrade flue liners faster than folks expect, so we look hard at venting condition on every Sylva job. A sealed Regency appliance with a stainless liner — or a direct-vent gas unit that skips the masonry flue entirely — takes that decay out of the equation. We'll tell you honestly what your chimney needs.
Fifty minutes out means plan ahead
You're a real drive from the showroom, so service intervals stretch — book maintenance before the season rather than during a cold snap. Sylva's fuel is mixed, so we confirm gas versus propane before recommending a unit, then run and pressure-test the line, pull the Jackson County permit, and meet the inspector. Call (828) 545-0525.
