Located just outside Brevard near the entrance to Pisgah National Forest, Pisgah Forest is a natural extension of our Transylvania County service area. Steady Flame provides fireplaces, inserts, and chimney service to Pisgah Forest homeowners who face the challenges of living in one of the wettest areas in the eastern United States.
Pisgah Forest is propane country — gas hearths here run off an owner-owned or leased tank, which changes line sizing, regulator setup, and BTU planning compared to a natural-gas town. We install gas, wood, and electric fireplaces, inserts, and stoves in Pisgah Forest, and — unlike a showroom or a mason — we're licensed to run the gas line ourselves. Every combustion install is permitted and inspected through Transylvania County. Since Helene, more homeowners here treat a fireplace as backup heat that works when the grid doesn't.
Heat & Glo helped pioneer the modern direct-vent fireplace, and Steady Flame installs their full lineup — from the clean-face Cosmo and Primo to see-through and single-sided models with IntelliFire ignition. We size the unit to your room, plan the venting run, and handle the framing details that make a linear fireplace sit flush and look built-in.
What's Involved
Every install starts with a home visit to confirm fuel type, clearances, and vent routing. As a licensed gas-piping contractor, we run new natural-gas or propane lines ourselves and pull the permit — something a showroom or mason legally can't do in North Carolina. Our NFI-certified technicians set the appliance, terminate the vent, pressure-test the gas, and commission the burner so flame height and ignition are dialed in. Many Heat & Glo models use a millivolt or battery-backup ignition, so your fireplace keeps throwing heat when the grid goes down — a lesson WNC learned the hard way after Helene.
Heating Challenges in Pisgah Forest
Pisgah Forest shares Transylvania County's extreme rainfall — averaging 80+ inches per year — which is tough on masonry chimneys and outdoor fire features. Homes near the Davidson River and Pisgah National Forest are heavily shaded by mature canopy, keeping interiors cool and increasing the appeal of a warm fireplace, while debris from overhanging trees can collect on chimney caps and spark arrestors. Many properties here are older, with chimneys that benefit from a fresh liner or a sealed insert.
Seasonal Tip for Pisgah Forest Homeowners
Pisgah Forest's heavy tree canopy drops leaves and debris on chimney caps and outdoor fireplaces faster than in open areas. Keep your cap and spark arrestor clear, and schedule an annual chimney sweep each spring to keep your fireplace drafting safely.
