Wood to Gas Conversion
Convert a wood-burning fireplace to clean, push-button gas — logs or a sealed insert, licensed and permitted.
Professional Wood to Gas Conversion in Asheville & Western NC
If you love your fireplace but you're done with the firewood, the ash, and the cold-start smoke, converting from wood to gas is one of the most satisfying upgrades we do. Steady Flame Fireplaces converts wood-burning masonry and factory-built fireplaces to clean, instant gas fire across Western North Carolina — no more splitting and stacking, no more hauling ash, just flame and heat at the push of a button. It's especially popular with WNC homeowners who inherited a big open fireplace that looks great but heats poorly and only gets used a couple of times a winter.
There are two main ways to convert, and we'll help you choose. The simplest is a gas log set — vented for a tall, dramatic flame or ventless for maximum heat in the room — dropped into your existing firebox and connected to fuel. The bigger upgrade is a sealed gas insert, which turns that drafty open fireplace into a genuine, efficient heater with a liner run up the chimney and heat radiated back into the room instead of lost up the flue. Logs are about ambiance and simplicity; an insert is about real, efficient, power-optional heat. We lay out the trade-offs honestly so you land on the right one.
The Licensed Part Nobody Else Can Do
Every wood-to-gas conversion needs a gas line, and in North Carolina running that line is licensed work. That's our lane: we run and pressure-test the gas supply, set the burner or insert for your fuel (natural gas along the Asheville and Hendersonville mains, propane out in Fairview and the cabins), verify clearances and venting, and pull the county permit. A showroom can sell you a log set, but it can't legally connect it — we do the complete conversion, tested and inspected. Many homeowners pair the switch with a millivolt or battery-backup ignition so their converted fireplace throws heat even when the power's out, a lesson a lot of WNC families took from Hurricane Helene. Backed by the manufacturer's warranty and our workmanship guarantee.
