When a hearth quits in Candler, the fix depends on the fuel. Candler 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. Our techs diagnose pilots, thermopiles, gas valves, blowers, and venting, and — because we're licensed for gas piping — we can correct fuel-line and pressure issues a general handyman legally can't. Buncombe County homeowners count on a working fireplace as backup heat, so we prioritize no-heat calls in the cold months.

Refractory panels are the cast, brick-look liners along the back and sides of a firebox — they reflect heat back into the room and, more importantly, protect the fireplace's structure and the framing behind it from the fire's intensity. Over years of heating and cooling they crack, crumble, spall, or pit, and once they do, that barrier is compromised. Steady Flame Fireplaces replaces refractory panels in wood-burning fireplaces, factory-built units, and inserts across Western North Carolina.
