Steady Flame Fireplaces has been the licensed hearth team that Waynesville area homeowners trust since 2005.
Nestled in the Smoky Mountains, Waynesville homeowners face cold winters that make a dependable fireplace essential.

We're just a short drive down I-40 from our Asheville showroom.
Waynesville is propane country — gas hearths here run off an owner-owned or leased tank, which changes line sizing, regulator setup, and BTU planning compared to a natural-gas town. We install gas, wood, and electric fireplaces, inserts, and stoves in Waynesville, and — unlike a showroom or a mason — we're licensed to run the gas line ourselves. Every combustion install is permitted and inspected through Haywood County. Since Helene, more homeowners here treat a fireplace as backup heat that works when the grid doesn't.
A brick fireplace brings timeless warmth and texture to any room, and Steady Flame Fireplaces has been building them for Western North Carolina families since 2005. We design brick surrounds and full brick fireplaces around the fuel that fits your home, whether that means a natural gas insert, a propane unit for rural properties, or an electric firebox. Every build starts with a plan for clearances, framing, and venting so the finished hearth is both beautiful and safe.
What's Involved
Our NFI-certified crew handles the masonry, the firebox, and the mechanical side under one roof. As a licensed gas-piping contractor, we can run the gas line legally, something showrooms and general masons cannot do in North Carolina, and we pull the permits the work requires. We help you choose brick color, bond pattern, and mantel details, then set a Napoleon, Heat & Glo, or Regency appliance for dependable, outage-proof backup heat when winter storms knock out the power.
Heating Challenges in Waynesville
At nearly 2,650 feet, Waynesville averages 10–15°F colder than lower-elevation WNC towns in winter. Homes here rely on their fireplaces far more, making efficient wood and gas inserts a smart way to cut heating costs. The Hazelwood neighborhood's older housing stock sees some of the biggest comfort gains from swapping open, drafty fireplaces for high-efficiency inserts or freestanding stoves.
Seasonal Tip for Waynesville Homeowners
Waynesville's higher elevation means your heating season runs roughly 3 weeks longer than Asheville's. We recommend scheduling a chimney inspection and fireplace service by mid-September so your wood stove or gas insert is ready for a long, cold mountain winter.
