Mills River's mix of rural properties and newer developments all benefit from a warm, welcoming fireplace.

Our proximity on the south side of Asheville means fast service for the entire Mills River area.
Mills River 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 Mills River, and — unlike a showroom or a mason — we're licensed to run the gas line ourselves. Every combustion install is permitted and inspected through Henderson 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 Mills River
Mills River's rural properties often sit on larger lots where running a new gas line to a fireplace, stove, or outdoor fire feature takes careful planning. Many homes use propane rather than natural gas, so proper tank sizing and gas piping are essential for a gas fireplace or outdoor kitchen. The area's mix of farmland and forest also makes a clean-burning sealed appliance attractive for allergy-conscious homeowners.
Seasonal Tip for Mills River Homeowners
Mills River's open valley is ideal for outdoor living. Late spring is the perfect time to plan a gas fire pit or outdoor fireplace so the gas line and patio work are finished before the summer entertaining season. Have your indoor fireplace inspected in early fall before you start burning.
