Known as the Land of Waterfalls, Brevard and Transylvania County residents count on Steady Flame for dependable fireplace service.

Brevard 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 Brevard, 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.
Kozy Heat has been building fireplaces by hand in Lakefield, Minnesota since 1976 — a family-owned maker that, like Steady Flame, stakes its name on units that actually heat a room. We install the full range, from the compact Bayport and Chaska to the dramatic Slayton linear, in gas and wood configurations built for real cold-weather performance.
What's Involved
We survey the room to plan clearances, framing, and vent routing, then run the fuel supply ourselves — as a licensed gas-piping contractor we install and pressure-test natural-gas or propane lines, pull the permit, and see the job through inspection, which a showroom cannot legally do here. Our NFI-certified technicians set the appliance, terminate the direct vent, and commission the burner so ignition and flame are correct on day one. Kozy Heat's gas models are engineered as serious heaters with millivolt options, so when a mountain storm cuts the power the way Helene did, your fireplace still keeps the house warm.
Heating Challenges in Brevard
Transylvania County earns its 'Land of Waterfalls' nickname with some of the highest rainfall in the eastern US — averaging 80+ inches annually. This extreme moisture is hard on masonry chimneys, causing crown cracks, spalling brick, and rusted dampers. Crawl spaces and chimney chases in Brevard homes are especially prone to moisture damage, making a waterproof chimney cap and annual inspection important for any fireplace.
Seasonal Tip for Brevard Homeowners
Brevard's exceptional rainfall makes chimney waterproofing and a quality rain cap smart investments to protect your fireplace year-round. We recommend a professional chimney inspection each fall to catch moisture damage before the wet spring season (March–June) returns.
