As our home base since 2005, Steady Flame Fireplaces has proudly served Asheville homeowners and businesses with expert fireplace sales and service. From the historic hearths in Montford to new construction in South Asheville, we know the unique fireplace and outdoor-living needs of every Asheville neighborhood. Our local office means fast response times anywhere in the city.
Asheville 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. Running the gas line is the part a fireplace showroom or a mason legally can't touch in North Carolina — it takes a licensed gas-piping contractor. Steady Flame holds that license, so we deliver the whole job in Asheville: unit, venting, and the fuel line, all under one roof. Buncombe County homeowners have leaned on gas hearths as reliable backup heat since Helene — a sealed gas fireplace or insert keeps a room warm through a power outage, no electricity required for the burner.
Gas logs are the simplest way to trade the mess of firewood for a flame you start with a switch. A ceramic-fiber or refractory log set sits inside your existing masonry or factory-built fireplace over a gas burner, giving you the look of a wood fire with none of the hauling, sparks or ash. Steady Flame installs hand-painted Real Fyre and other premium log sets, matched to your firebox and fuel.
How the Install Works
The install starts with the gas supply. As a licensed gas-piping contractor, we run or extend the line — natural gas where mains reach, propane for rural homes — install the correct shutoff and connector, and pressure-test the joint before the first flame. We size the set to your firebox, position the logs on the grate for a natural burn pattern, set the ember bed, and confirm the damper and clearances are right. We'll walk you through vented versus ventless so you choose the flame and heat that fit your home. Call (828) 545-0525.
Heating Challenges in Asheville
Asheville's mix of historic homes in Montford and North Asheville — many built with original masonry fireplaces and chimneys — creates unique hearth restoration challenges. These older fireboxes often need new liners, gas conversions, or high-efficiency inserts to burn safely and heat evenly. Meanwhile, newer South Asheville construction is ideal for clean-face gas fireplaces and modern wood-burning designs that become the centerpiece of the room.
Seasonal Tip for Asheville Homeowners
Asheville's elevation means nighttime temperatures can drop into the 20s even in early spring. We recommend a professional fireplace and chimney inspection through April, and scheduling any gas log or insert installation by mid-fall so your hearth is ready before the first cold snap.
