Known as the Land of Waterfalls, Brevard and Transylvania County residents count on Steady Flame for dependable fireplace service.

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. Converting an old wood-burner to gas is one of the most popular hearth upgrades in Brevard — you keep the fireplace you love but gain instant, controllable, mess-free heat. 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 Brevard: unit, venting, and the fuel line, all under one roof. Since Helene, many Transylvania County homeowners choose a millivolt gas conversion specifically so the fireplace keeps making heat during a power outage.
Loading, lighting, and cleaning up after a wood fire loses its charm fast — especially when the fireplace you inherited barely puts out heat. Converting that wood-burning fireplace to gas trades the chores for a flame you start with a switch. Steady Flame Fireplaces handles wood-to-gas conversions on masonry and factory-built fireplaces throughout Western North Carolina, starting each one with a firebox and flue inspection, since a sound chimney is what makes the conversion safe.
Two Paths, Honest Guidance
You've got two options. A gas log set sits in your firebox and gives a big, natural flame with minimal fuss — the simpler route. A sealed gas insert is the heavier lift but the bigger reward: it seals the drafty opening, runs a liner up the chimney, and turns a heat-losing fireplace into an efficient heater. The fuel line is the licensed heart of the job — we run and pressure-test the gas supply, set the burner for your fuel, and permit it. Add a battery-backup ignition and your converted hearth heats through an outage — backup many WNC families wished for during Helene.
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.
