Nestled in the Smoky Mountains, Waynesville homeowners face cold winters that make a dependable fireplace essential.

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 Waynesville and Haywood 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 Haywood County. A sound chimney is exactly what lets Waynesville homeowners rely on a wood or gas fireplace as real heat all winter — including when a storm takes the power down.
The liner is the flue's protective inner shell — the barrier that keeps heat and combustion gases inside the chimney and away from the surrounding framing. When the original clay tiles crack, a metal liner corrodes, or the flue is simply too large for a new appliance to vent properly, relining restores a safe, code-compliant path for exhaust. A cracked or oversized flue can leak carbon monoxide and cause dangerous draft problems.
What's Involved
Steady Flame sizes a stainless-steel liner to your specific fireplace, insert, or stove, insulates it, and connects it so the appliance vents exactly as its manufacturer requires. When homeowners convert a drafty open fireplace to an efficient gas or wood insert, relining is usually part of the job — and as a licensed gas-piping contractor, we handle the fuel line and the venting together instead of leaving you to juggle two trades. A properly lined flue also keeps a stove dependable as backup heat during an outage.
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.
