Sylva sits in Jackson County, about an hour's drive from our Asheville showroom, and Steady Flame carries Valor there for you to see lit before we install one in town. Running and permitting the gas line is a licensed contractor's job — and a sealed Valor beats the valley's damaging river damp. Call (828) 545-0525.
River damp that eats dampers and liners
The Tuckasegee valley drains cold air and holds river moisture, and around Sylva and Dillsboro that combination rusts dampers and degrades flue liners faster than most homeowners realize. A Valor sidesteps the whole corroding assembly: it's a sealed direct-vent unit that vents through its own weather-tight pipe, so a failing masonry flue stops being the reason your fireplace doesn't work. Sylva runs mixed fuel, and we set the unit for natural gas or propane accordingly.
Hard-used rentals and historic Dillsboro homes
Near WCU the student rentals get heavy use and spotty maintenance, while the historic cottages in Dillsboro carry older masonry chimneys that were never meant to run all winter. Either way, a Valor Portrait insert with a proper liner turns an unreliable opening into a low-maintenance radiant heater — no blower, no circuit board, little to go wrong.
Licensed gas work, permitted properly
A showroom or a mason can sell a firebox, but connecting it to fuel is licensed work, and we do it right — we permit with the local authority and pressure-test the line before any inspector signs off. An hour is a real drive, so come see the Valor lit once at 629 Emma Rd and we'll handle the rest. Call (828) 545-0525.
