Brevard 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 Brevard, and — unlike a showroom or a mason — we're licensed to run the gas line ourselves. Every combustion install is permitted and inspected through Transylvania County. Since Helene, more homeowners here treat a fireplace as backup heat that works when the grid doesn't.
A see-through fireplace opens on its front and back faces, so a single ribbon of flame becomes a glowing window between two spaces — great room to kitchen, or an interior living room to a covered patio. Unlike a solid-back hearth, there's no masonry to hide behind, which means both glass fronts, the burner, and the log set are on full display and must be finished to the same standard. Steady Flame installs sealed direct-vent see-through models from Heat & Glo, Napoleon, and Superior.
What's Involved
Because the firebox is open front and rear, these units vent vertically through the roof with a coaxial pipe, and clearances are tighter than a standard fireplace — details our NFI-certified installers plan before framing. We size the appliance to the wall thickness, run and pressure-test the gas piping under our contractor's license, secure the permit, and dial in the flame on both viewing sides so it reads beautifully from either room.
Heating Challenges in Brevard
Transylvania County earns its 'Land of Waterfalls' nickname with some of the highest rainfall in the eastern US — averaging 80+ inches annually. This extreme moisture is hard on masonry chimneys, causing crown cracks, spalling brick, and rusted dampers. Crawl spaces and chimney chases in Brevard homes are especially prone to moisture damage, making a waterproof chimney cap and annual inspection important for any fireplace.
Seasonal Tip for Brevard Homeowners
Brevard's exceptional rainfall makes chimney waterproofing and a quality rain cap smart investments to protect your fireplace year-round. We recommend a professional chimney inspection each fall to catch moisture damage before the wet spring season (March–June) returns.
