Highlands' prestigious mountain community demands premium fireplace service matched to extreme high-elevation conditions. Steady Flame provides specialized wood, gas, and electric fireplaces plus expert chimney service to Highlands homes, from luxury estates to charming downtown properties. We understand the unique demands of heating with fire at 4,100+ feet.

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 Highlands and Macon 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 Macon County. A sound chimney is exactly what lets Highlands homeowners rely on a wood or gas fireplace as real heat all winter — including when a storm takes the power down.

Every wood fire leaves creosote behind — a tar-like residue that coats the inside of the flue and, once it builds up, becomes highly flammable fuel for a chimney fire. Chimney cleaning strips that buildup out along with soot, ash glaze, and any debris restricting the flue. A clean chimney also draws better, so more heat goes into the room and less smoke backs up into it.
