Will a fireplace company install a fire pit or fire table I bought online somewhere else?
Yes — an online fire pit or fire table is a routine job for us in Asheville, and being headquartered on Emma Rd puts our crew minutes from most patios. You handle the purchase and delivery; we tap your natural-gas main, run the buried line, set the burner for natural gas, and permit the work through Buncombe County.
Working off Asheville's gas mains
Most of the city runs on natural-gas service, from the historic masonry homes in Montford and North Asheville to the clean-face builds in South Asheville, so the usual path is tying into your existing meter and running an outdoor-rated line under the yard to wherever the pit will sit. We size that line to the unit's BTU rating, add a key valve and shutoff at the patio, and set the regulator for natural gas — the orifice that came in the box has to match our fuel, or the flame soots and underperforms.
Listing and setup checks first
Before fuel touches the unit, we confirm it carries a current CSA or UL listing and is built for outdoor use. A table meant for propane needs its orifice swapped for natural gas, and a built-in installation needs proper air openings and drainage so nothing can collect underneath. If the unit you found isn't right for the job — wrong rating, no listing, a fuel it can't safely run — we tell you before we ever open a valve, no pressure and no guessing.
The part the law keeps for us
Running or extending a gas line in North Carolina is licensed work, so the crew that delivered your fire table can set it in place but legally can't make it burn — the connection, the pressure test, and the Buncombe County inspection are ours. Bring us whatever you ordered; we'll finish the piece the law reserves for a licensed gas contractor. Call (828) 545-0525 for a free on-site assessment.
