Steady Flame Fireplaces has been the licensed hearth team that Weaverville area homeowners trust since 2005.
Weaverville's growing community of homes and businesses relies on Steady Flame for professional fireplace service. Located just north of Asheville off I-26, we can reach Weaverville quickly for both scheduled appointments and emergency calls. We install and service all fireplaces, inserts, and stoves in the area.
A fireplace or stove is only as safe as the chimney and venting behind it. Steady Flame inspects, sweeps, relines, caps, and repairs chimneys and vents throughout Weaverville and Buncombe County — clearing creosote and blockages, correcting draft problems, and making sure every flue draws cleanly. Where the job calls for it, we permit and inspect the work through Buncombe County. A sound chimney is exactly what lets Weaverville homeowners rely on a wood or gas fireplace as real heat all winter — including when a storm takes the power down.
B-vent, also called natural-vent, is a single-pipe system that carries a gas fireplace's exhaust straight up and out through the roof, drawing combustion air from inside the room and relying on the natural rise of hot gas to draft. Steady Flame Fireplaces installs B-vent systems for gas fireplaces and log sets across Western North Carolina where a tall, traditional flame and a vertical run to the roof make sense.
What's Involved
B-vent uses double-wall pipe that must run vertically from the appliance up through the roofline, with proper clearances to combustibles and a listed cap on top. We size and route the pipe to spec, maintain the rise needed for reliable draft, and flash and cap the roof penetration so it stays weathertight. Because B-vent draws room air and vents vertically, it suits specific appliances and layouts, and we'll tell you honestly whether it or a sealed direct-vent system fits your home better. As a licensed gas contractor, we run and pressure-test the gas line and pull the county permit too.
Heating Challenges in Weaverville
Weaverville's rapid residential growth in the Reems Creek area has brought many new-construction homes that are perfect candidates for clean-face gas fireplaces and modern linear designs. Older homes closer to downtown were often built with original masonry fireboxes that burn inefficiently, which makes a wood or gas insert a popular upgrade to add real heat and safety.
Seasonal Tip for Weaverville Homeowners
Weaverville's north-facing valley position means slower spring warm-ups than Asheville. We recommend scheduling a fireplace and chimney inspection in early fall to catch any issues — a cracked liner or worn gas valve — before you start burning for the season.
