Professional Regency 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.
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 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.
