Steady Flame Fireplaces has been the licensed hearth team that Fairview area homeowners trust since 2005.

We provide full fireplace services to Fairview residents, from fireplace repair to new wood stove and insert installations, with the fast response times that come from being only 15 minutes away.
Fairview 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 Fairview, 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.
Superior is a value-focused hearth brand with a deep catalog of direct-vent gas and wood-burning fireplaces, making it a practical choice when you want a solid, code-legal fire feature without a luxury price tag. Steady Flame installs Superior units in new builds, remodels, and additions across WNC, sizing each model to the room and fuel type before we set it.
What's Involved
A Superior gas fireplace can't legally be fueled by anyone but a licensed gas contractor in North Carolina — a line we're licensed to cross. We run natural-gas or propane piping, frame and vent the appliance, pull the permit, and pressure-test before ignition. Wood-burning Superior models are matched to a correctly sized flue and clearance-checked chimney. Because millivolt gas models light without electricity, a modest Superior can double as dependable emergency heat when a storm drops the grid — something WNC families no longer take for granted after Helene.
Heating Challenges in Fairview
Fairview's rural character means many homes sit on large, wooded lots — convenient for firewood, and a factor when planning gas-line runs for a fireplace or outdoor fire feature. Many Fairview homes use propane, so proper tank sizing and gas piping are essential for gas hearth appliances. Wood heat is popular here, keeping quality wood stoves, inserts, and annual chimney sweeping in steady demand.
Seasonal Tip for Fairview Homeowners
Fairview's wooded lots make wood heat a natural choice, but that means chimney maintenance is essential. If you burn wood, schedule a chimney sweep every fall — creosote buildup is the leading cause of chimney fires, and a clean flue burns hotter and safer all winter.
