Steady Flame Fireplaces sells Superior, and in Clyde it's a natural fit for the town's 1960s-80s ranch homes, where dated fireplaces are ready for an insert upgrade. Superior's value-priced EPA wood box and sealed gas units modernize those old fireboxes without a luxury price, 25 minutes west of our Asheville showroom. Call (828) 545-0525.
Ranch-house fireboxes past their prime
Clyde's housing runs heavily to 1960s-through-80s ranch-style builds, and the fireplaces that came with them are showing their age — decorative, inefficient, and often just plain tired. That's exactly the situation a Superior unit is built for. A sealed insert or an EPA wood box drops into the existing opening and turns a dated firebox into something that actually heats the room, at a value price rather than a premium one.
It's the practical middle of the market, which for a Clyde ranch remodel is usually the honest call over the luxury lines.
River humidity is quietly wrecking your damper
Clyde shares the cold-air drainage and river humidity of the Pigeon valley, and that damp air rusts dampers and degrades masonry chimneys faster than owners notice. Before we set a Superior wood box that depends on a sound flue, we check what the humidity has done to yours — and if it's bad, a sealed gas unit that doesn't rely on the old chimney is often the smarter, longer-lasting choice.
Mixed fuel, licensed line, Haywood permit
Clyde straddles natural gas and propane depending on where you are, and a Superior gas unit is set up differently for each — we confirm your fuel before quoting so it burns clean. Running the line is licensed work we permit through Haywood County and pressure-test before the inspector signs off. Book a free in-home assessment. Call (828) 545-0525.
