Will a fireplace company install a fire pit or fire table I bought online somewhere else?
Yes — in Mars Hill we connect fire pits and fire tables owners bought online, and out in the Spring Creek and Gabriels Creek valleys that usually means propane. We set the regulator off your tank, match the unit's orifice to LP, run and test the line, and permit the work with Madison County.
Propane out in the valleys
Around the university you'll find some natural gas, but the rural properties up Spring Creek, Gabriels Creek, and Forks of Ivy mostly run propane or wood. For a gas pit that means coordinating the tank and regulator with your supplier and — this is the common online catch — converting a unit that shipped set for natural gas over to LP, because the wrong orifice soots and starves the flame. We confirm your fuel first, then set it right.
Mars Hill also runs colder than the valley towns, so the outdoor season leans on real, dependable flame rather than a fussy setup that fights you on a cold night.
Checks, permit, and the licensed piece
Before we light anything we verify the unit's CSA or UL listing, that it's outdoor-rated, and that a built-in enclosure has the air openings and drainage propane demands. If the unit isn't right for the job, we'll say so before we connect a thing.
Running or extending gas line is licensed work in North Carolina — not something a delivery crew or handyman can legally finish. We pressure-test the line, coordinate the propane side, and permit it with Madison County. Bring us the pit you ordered and we'll set it right. Call (828) 545-0525.
