Woodfin is one of our closest service areas, located just 10 minutes north of our Asheville headquarters.

From new construction in Reynolds Mountain to established homes near downtown Woodfin, we deliver the same expert service our Asheville customers know and trust.
Woodfin sits on a natural-gas main, so most gas fireplaces, inserts, and log sets here tie straight into utility gas — no tank to fill and no propane regulator to set. We install gas, wood, and electric fireplaces, inserts, and stoves in Woodfin, and — unlike a showroom or a mason — we're licensed to run the gas line ourselves. Every combustion install is permitted and inspected through Buncombe County. Since Helene, more homeowners here treat a fireplace as backup heat that works when the grid doesn't.
A double-sided fireplace turns a single hearth into a shared centerpiece, opening into two rooms — living and dining, bedroom and bath, or interior and covered porch — so the flames warm and frame both spaces. Steady Flame installs corner, peninsula, and back-to-back configurations from Napoleon, Heat & Glo, and Majestic, sizing the firebox to the opening and both viewing angles. Because these units are viewable from two directions, framing, clearances, and non-combustible finishes have to be planned on every exposed face.
What's Involved
Our NFI-certified crew sets the appliance, frames the double-sided chase, and runs sealed direct-vent piping — usually straight up through the roof, since there's no single back wall to terminate through. As a licensed gas-piping contractor, we run and pressure-test the gas line ourselves, pull the mechanical permit, and inspect the finished burn. Many WNC homes choose a millivolt or battery-backup model so the fireplace still lights and heats both rooms when the grid drops out.
Heating Challenges in Woodfin
Woodfin's rapid development — including the new Woodfin Greenway and river amenities — is attracting both new construction and renovations of older homes, both great candidates for modern fireplaces. New builds along the French Broad River are ideal for clean-face gas or linear fireplaces, while Reynolds Mountain's hilltop properties often want a high-output insert or stove to take the edge off cool ridge evenings.
Seasonal Tip for Woodfin Homeowners
Woodfin's proximity to the French Broad River means cool, damp evenings much of the year — perfect fireplace weather. If you're renovating, fall is the ideal time to add a gas or wood insert, or plan an outdoor fireplace or gas fire pit to extend your riverside outdoor season.
