Professional Regency Fireplace Installation in Asheville, NC
Based right here in Asheville, Steady Flame Fireplaces is your neighborhood hearth team for regency fireplace installation. Steady Flame Fireplaces has been the licensed hearth team that Asheville area homeowners trust since 2005.
As our home base since 2005, Steady Flame Fireplaces has proudly served Asheville homeowners and businesses with expert fireplace sales and service. From the historic hearths in Montford to new construction in South Asheville, we know the unique fireplace and outdoor-living needs of every Asheville neighborhood. Our local office means fast response times anywhere in the city.
Asheville sits on a natural-gas main, so most gas fireplaces, inserts, and log sets here tie straight into utility gas — no tank to fill and no propane regulator to set. We install gas, wood, and electric fireplaces, inserts, and stoves in Asheville, 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.
Regency builds one of the broadest hearth lineups in North America — gas, wood, and inserts across the Horizon, City, and Grandview series — and Steady Flame installs all of them. Whether you want a big-heat wood stove for a cabin or a sleek gas unit for a mountain-modern living room, we match the appliance to your space, your fuel, and how much heat you actually need.
What's Involved
We start with a site survey to plan venting, clearances, and hearth protection, then handle the part most companies can't: the gas line. As a licensed gas-piping contractor we run and pressure-test natural-gas or propane, pull the permit, and pass inspection. For wood models we set the flue and verify draft; for gas we commission the Proflame burner and ignition. Regency's wood stoves and millivolt gas units need no electricity to make heat, which is exactly why so many WNC homeowners added one after Helene left the region dark for days.
Heating Challenges in Asheville
Asheville's mix of historic homes in Montford and North Asheville — many built with original masonry fireplaces and chimneys — creates unique hearth restoration challenges. These older fireboxes often need new liners, gas conversions, or high-efficiency inserts to burn safely and heat evenly. Meanwhile, newer South Asheville construction is ideal for clean-face gas fireplaces and modern wood-burning designs that become the centerpiece of the room.
Seasonal Tip for Asheville Homeowners
Asheville's elevation means nighttime temperatures can drop into the 20s even in early spring. We recommend a professional fireplace and chimney inspection through April, and scheduling any gas log or insert installation by mid-fall so your hearth is ready before the first cold snap.
