Will a fireplace showroom sell me just the unit without installation?
No — Steady Flame sells fireplaces installed, and in propane country like Brevard that distinction really matters. Propane burns hotter than natural gas and needs the right orifices and pressure, so the unit and its connection can't be separated. You see the fireplaces at our Emma Road showroom, and we handle the assessment, install, and Transylvania County permit.
Propane Changes the Whole Equation
Most of Brevard runs on propane rather than a gas main, and that's a big reason a carry-home firebox is a bad idea here. Propane and natural gas aren't interchangeable — a unit set up for the wrong fuel soots, underperforms, and can run unsafely. Connecting the tank's regulator and piping, then setting the appliance to LP, is licensed work we do and pressure-test; a showroom clerk or landscaper legally can't touch it.
Coordinating the tank with your propane supplier is part of how we tie the whole thing together — another reason the unit and the install arrive as one job.
Brevard's Moisture Is Hard on Hearths
Transylvania County catches 80-plus inches of rain a year, and it shows up in cracked crowns, spalled brick, and rusted dampers — especially in the crawl spaces and chimney chases where damage hides. Picking the right sealed unit and venting path means looking at your actual chimney and moisture history, not reading a box label. We assess that in person before we bring anything out.
One Permit, One Accountable Crew
We pull the permit with Transylvania County and meet the inspector, and the manufacturer's warranty plus our own workmanship guarantee stay intact because we own the appliance, the gas line, and the result. Forty minutes southwest of the showroom, we'd rather do it right than hand off the fuel connection. Call (828) 545-0525 for a free quote installed.
