You can see a Valor lit right here in Asheville — our showroom is at 629 Emma Rd, minutes from Montford and West Asheville — and Steady Flame is the licensed gas contractor that carries the line and installs it across Buncombe County. Stand in front of an H5, then we quote and set it. Call (828) 545-0525.
Your closest place to shop Valor is on Emma Road
Asheville is home turf — the showroom that displays Valor is a short drive from Montford, North Asheville, and Biltmore Village. Because Valor is a hearth-dealer line rather than a shelf item, standing in the room with one lit is the only honest way to judge its radiant heat and its front, and we keep the H5 where you can feel it.
On the natural-gas mains that run through most of the city, a Valor ties straight into a line we permit and pressure-test.
Old masonry uptown, clean-face down south
Asheville's housing tells two Valor stories. In Montford and North Asheville, original masonry openings take a Valor Portrait insert that slides into the old firebox and seals off the draft an open hearth never stopped. Newer South Asheville construction leans toward the H5's clean 34-inch face and its modulating radiant heat — quiet, no blower, nothing electronic to fail. At 2,134 feet the nights still drop into the 20s well into spring, so the heater has to be real, not decorative.
One licensed crew from firebox to gas line
A showroom or a mason can hand you a beautiful box, but connecting it to fuel is licensed work in North Carolina, and that's our lane. We pull the Buncombe County permit, meet the inspector, and stand behind the whole job. When Helene took the grid down, the houses that kept heat were the ones with a working hearth — a Valor runs on millivolt power and asks nothing of the wall outlet. Call (828) 545-0525 or visit 629 Emma Rd.
