Around Brevard, Valor is propane-country heat — a radiant, power-optional unit that suits the cabins out toward Connestee Falls and Sherwood Forest. Steady Flame carries the line at our Asheville showroom, 40 minutes northeast, and permits every install with Transylvania County. Call (828) 545-0525 to see one lit.
Propane country wants a radiant heater
Brevard runs largely on propane — the tanks out past downtown feed the cabins and the gated communities — and that's the setting a Valor was built for. Propane burns hotter per unit than natural gas, so we set the unit with the correct LP orifice and pressure. The H5's radiant heat comes off the glass with no blower and no circuit board, which means when the power's out it keeps working on millivolt alone.
Eighty inches of rain is hard on a chimney
Transylvania County catches better than 80 inches of rain a year, and it shows up in cracked crowns, spalled brick, and rusted dampers — especially in the moisture-prone chases and crawl spaces around here. Rather than pour money into a failing masonry flue, a Valor Portrait insert seals into the old opening and vents through its own weather-tight pipe. We pull the Transylvania permit and pressure-test the line.
See it before you commit
A Valor's appeal is something you have to stand in front of, so come to the Asheville showroom at 629 Emma Rd and judge the flame yourself, then we bring the quote to your Brevard home. One licensed company handles the firebox, the venting, and the gas line. Call (828) 545-0525.
