Gas Insert Installation
Push-button gas fireplace inserts that turn a cold masonry fireplace into steady, power-optional heat.
Professional Gas Insert Installation in Asheville & Western NC
A gas fireplace insert is the easiest way to reclaim a drafty old masonry fireplace and turn it into a warm, reliable heater you actually use. Steady Flame Fireplaces installs sealed direct-vent gas inserts that drop into your existing firebox, connect to natural gas or propane, and vent up through a new liner in your chimney. The result is push-button fire and steady, even heat — no kindling, no ash, no drafts pulling your heated household air up the flue when the fire's out.
Because we're a licensed gas contractor, we handle the whole job: the insert, the flexible liner run up the chimney, and the gas line connection, all permitted and pressure-tested. That combination is our lane and no one else's — a showroom can sell you the insert, but connecting it to fuel is licensed work in North Carolina. We size the unit to your masonry opening and your room, confirm your fuel (natural gas along the Asheville, Hendersonville, Fletcher, and Arden mains; propane in Fairview, Candler, Brevard, and the cabins), and set the orifice and Btu rating to match.
Heat That Doesn't Quit
The feature WNC homeowners ask about most since Hurricane Helene is simple: does it work when the power's out? A gas insert on a millivolt or battery-backup ignition will light and throw heat with the grid down — no electricity required for the flame and radiant warmth. That makes a gas insert one of the smartest backup-heat upgrades you can make in the mountains. We finish the job with a surround that seals the old opening, a full burn-and-safety test, and a walkthrough of the remote and controls. Every install is permitted with your county and backed by the manufacturer's warranty plus our workmanship guarantee. If your chimney needs repair before the liner goes in, we'll flag it up front rather than build over a problem.
