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.
Wood heat still earns its keep in Leicester. At 2,100 feet, cold snaps and storm outages are a real factor, and a properly installed wood stove is off-grid heat that doesn't care whether the power is on. We handle the full install — hearth pad, clearances, Class A chimney or liner — permitted and inspected through Buncombe County.
Pellet stoves burn a compressed fuel that leaves behind fine fly ash and hard clinkers, and that residue coats the burn pot, heat exchanger, and exhaust within a single season. Left alone, it chokes airflow, drops efficiency, and eventually triggers shutdowns. Steady Flame's cleaning service strips the appliance back to a like-new burn.
What's Involved
We empty and vacuum the hopper and auger channel, scrape the burn pot and igniter port, brush the heat-exchange tubes, clear the ash traps, and vacuum the venting and combustion-blower housing. We inspect the door gasket and glass and note anything worn before it becomes a failure. A clean pellet stove lights faster, sips less fuel, and burns more completely, which matters when it's your reliable room heat through a Western North Carolina winter. We recommend a professional cleaning at least once per heating season, and mid-season if you burn daily. Call (828) 545-0525 to book your pellet stove cleaning.
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.
