Steady Flame Fireplaces has been the licensed hearth team that Cashiers area homeowners trust since 2005.
Cashiers' luxury mountain homes and vacation properties deserve expert fireplace service. Steady Flame provides gas, wood, and electric fireplaces plus chimney service to Cashiers and the surrounding Jackson County highlands. We understand the challenges of maintaining a fireplace at 3,500 feet in one of the wettest areas in the eastern U.S.
Cashiers 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. Running the gas line is the part a fireplace showroom or a mason legally can't touch in North Carolina — it takes a licensed gas-piping contractor. Steady Flame holds that license, so we deliver the whole job in Cashiers: unit, venting, and the fuel line, all under one roof. Jackson County homeowners have leaned on gas hearths as reliable backup heat since Helene — a sealed gas fireplace or insert keeps a room warm through a power outage, no electricity required for the burner.
A two-sided gas fireplace — often called see-through — opens on two faces at once, so a single fire warms and animates two spaces. Homeowners use them as living-dining dividers, between a bedroom and en-suite, or spanning an interior wall and a covered porch to bridge indoor and outdoor living. Because both faces are glass, the flame becomes a shared centerpiece rather than a feature stuck to one wall.
What's Involved
See-through units are the most framing-sensitive fireplaces we install: the cabinet must sit dead-level and plumb so both glass fronts seal, and finishes on each side have to respect noncombustible clearances. Steady Flame plans the rough-in with your builder, then handles the licensed gas work — sizing the line, setting the regulator, and pressure-testing before ignition. Most two-sided models are sealed direct-vent and can't side-vent, so we route the flue up through the roof, a detail we confirm early. We pull permits and balance the flame on both faces before finishing.
Heating Challenges in Cashiers
Cashiers sits on a high plateau at nearly 3,500 feet with cold, wet winters and cool summers — a climate where a fireplace is used much of the year. The area's heavy concentration of luxury second homes means fireplaces often serve intermittently, demanding instant, reliable performance when owners arrive; sealed gas fireplaces and inserts are ideal. The region's 80+ inches of annual rainfall rivals Brevard, making chimney waterproofing and quality caps essential.
Seasonal Tip for Cashiers Homeowners
Cashiers property owners who leave homes unoccupied should choose gas fireplaces and inserts they can light instantly on arrival. Before each season, have your fireplace and chimney inspected — and protect masonry chimneys with a stainless cap and waterproofing against the area's relentless rain.
