In Waynesville, a Valor is a serious heater, not a decoration — at nearly 2,650 feet you run 10 to 15 degrees colder than Asheville and heat weeks longer. Steady Flame carries Valor at our Asheville showroom, 35 minutes east, and installs it across Haywood County. Call (828) 545-0525.
Built for Waynesville's longer, colder heating season
Waynesville doesn't let a decorative fireplace off easy. The town sits high enough that the heating season runs about three weeks longer than Asheville's, and the old open fireplaces in Hazelwood mostly send warm air straight up the chimney. The Valor H5 answers that — 34 inches of radiant output that modulates from a low 9,000 BTU up to 24,000, throwing steady warmth into the room instead of the flue.
Propane or gas, the heat is the same
Waynesville is mixed-fuel country — natural gas in parts of town, propane out toward the coves and higher lots — and a Valor sets up correctly for either, with the right orifice and pressure so it burns clean instead of sooting. Because it's a sealed direct-vent unit, it doesn't need the drafty masonry chimney a Hazelwood house was built around; it vents through its own pipe out a sidewall or the roof.
Licensed, permitted, and power-optional
A mason can build you a firebox, but tying it to fuel is licensed work, and that's ours — we permit the job with Haywood County and meet the inspector. It matters more up here: Valor runs on millivolt power with no electronics, so when a mountain storm drops the lines, the heat stays on. See one lit at 629 Emma Rd or call (828) 545-0525.
