Nestled in the Smoky Mountains, Waynesville homeowners face cold winters that make a dependable fireplace essential.

We're just a short drive down I-40 from our Asheville showroom.
Waynesville 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 Waynesville: unit, venting, and the fuel line, all under one roof. Haywood 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 Waynesville
At nearly 2,650 feet, Waynesville averages 10–15°F colder than lower-elevation WNC towns in winter. Homes here rely on their fireplaces far more, making efficient wood and gas inserts a smart way to cut heating costs. The Hazelwood neighborhood's older housing stock sees some of the biggest comfort gains from swapping open, drafty fireplaces for high-efficiency inserts or freestanding stoves.
Seasonal Tip for Waynesville Homeowners
Waynesville's higher elevation means your heating season runs roughly 3 weeks longer than Asheville's. We recommend scheduling a chimney inspection and fireplace service by mid-September so your wood stove or gas insert is ready for a long, cold mountain winter.
