Who supplies natural gas in the Asheville area, and how do I ask them about getting service to my home?
Weaverville is natural-gas territory, supplied by Enbridge Gas North Carolina — the old PSNC. If you're building in Reems Creek, call them early with your address to confirm the main and the tap; if you're in an older downtown home, the question is often capacity, not availability. From the meter in, the fireplace is our work.
Building in Reems Creek? Stub it now
Weaverville is one of the fastest-growing corners of Buncombe County, and much of that growth is new construction in and around Reems Creek. If your walls are still open studs, this is the cheapest hour a gas line will ever cost — running a capped, pressure-tested stub to a future fireplace through open framing beats fishing it through finished drywall later by a wide margin. Tell us the room and roughly the unit you're picturing and we size the branch for the real load, not a guess.
Enbridge owns the main and meter and sets any new connection charge, so call them with your service address before the drive is poured. Your general contractor coordinates the trades, but in North Carolina the GC can't run the gas himself — that's licensed gas-piping work, and it's ours.
Older downtown fireboxes, and a slow spring
The original masonry fireboxes in the older homes around downtown Weaverville are usually inefficient — an open hearth can run a net heat loss, pulling warm room air up the flue. A sealed gas insert with a stainless liner turns that into an appliance that's 70 percent efficient or better. It's a common upgrade here, and because Weaverville's north-facing valley warms up slowly in spring, the heating season stretches longer than you'd expect for the elevation.
We pull the Buncombe County permit and meet the inspector, and we're just 15 minutes north of our Asheville shop, so service is quick and the parts are already on the truck. Call (828) 545-0525 and we'll walk the room — new build or century-old firebox.
