Professional Napoleon Fireplace Installation in Leicester, NC

Steady Flame Fireplaces has been the licensed hearth team that Leicester area homeowners trust since 2005.
Leicester is a growing community in western Buncombe County, just minutes from downtown Asheville along NC-63. Steady Flame provides full fireplace services to Leicester homeowners and businesses — from wood stove and gas insert installation to gas piping, chimney service, and fireplace repair. Our proximity means fast response times and same-day service availability throughout the Leicester area.
Leicester 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 Leicester, 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.
Napoleon builds some of the most versatile gas fireplaces on the market — linear, traditional, and see-through models with strong heat output and clean modern styling — and Steady Flame installs the full lineup. We handle the whole project: helping you choose the right Napoleon unit and venting for your space, framing and clearance planning, running the gas supply, setting the appliance, finishing the surround, and commissioning the fire so it looks and burns exactly as designed.
A Complete, Code-Correct Install
A Napoleon fireplace only performs as promised when it's vented, gassed, and set to spec — which is where being a licensed gas-piping contractor matters. We size and run the natural-gas or propane line ourselves, pull the required permits, and install to manufacturer and NC code, something showrooms and general remodelers legally can't complete. Our NFI-certified technicians dial in the flame and confirm the venting draws correctly before signing off. And with a standing-pilot Napoleon, you gain outage-proof backup heat — the kind of resilience WNC homeowners prized through the Helene blackouts. Start your Napoleon install at (828) 545-0525.
Heating Challenges in Leicester
Leicester's rural character means many homes sit on larger properties where a new gas line to a fireplace, stove, or outdoor fire feature takes planning, and many rely on propane rather than natural gas. Wood heat is popular here, so quality wood stoves and inserts — plus proper chimney installation and sweeping — are in steady demand. Some remote Leicester properties have limited electrical capacity, a factor when choosing an electric fireplace.
Seasonal Tip for Leicester Homeowners
Leicester's rural valleys can be 5–8°F colder than Asheville on clear winter nights due to cold-air drainage. A high-efficiency wood stove or gas insert makes a real difference here — and if you burn wood, schedule a chimney sweep every fall to keep creosote buildup from becoming a fire hazard.
