Who supplies natural gas in the Asheville area, and how do I ask them about getting service to my home?
Hendersonville's natural gas comes from Enbridge Gas North Carolina, the utility older neighbors still know as PSNC and which billed as Dominion Energy before the 2024 changeover. Call them with your address to learn whether a main reaches your street and what a service tap costs. From the meter to the hearth — sizing, piping, permit — is ours.
Built for low-maintenance heat
Many of Hendersonville's buyers are downsizing or retiring, and the request we hear most — on the historic Main Street blocks and out the growing Spartanburg Highway subdivisions alike — is for quiet, sealed heat with none of the wood-hauling, ash, or cold-start smoke. A direct-vent gas fireplace lights at the flip of a switch and stays clean. Spec it with millivolt or battery-backup ignition and it keeps throwing warmth when the grid drops, which is exactly the reassurance this county went looking for after days in the dark.
Clay soil and tired chimneys
Henderson County's heavy clay settles foundations and quietly stresses masonry, and on the pre-war homes near downtown we routinely find cracked crowns and aging clay flue liners. If you're converting an open masonry fireplace to gas, that chimney gets inspected and usually relined before anything connects — a sealed insert dropped in with a correctly sized stainless liner does two jobs at once: it stops the cold draft an open firebox pulls into the room, and it turns a net heat-loser into an appliance that actually warms the house on a cool valley evening.
Who does what
Enbridge owns the main, the tap, and the meter, and any new connection charge is theirs to set. Everything downstream is licensed gas-piping work that a showroom or mason legally can't perform — we can, and we do it as one accountable company: sizing and running the branch line, setting the unit, pulling the Henderson County permit, and meeting the inspector. We're 25 minutes south of our Asheville showroom. Call (828) 545-0525 and we'll walk your home.
