Ember Plumbing & Gas
Verified25 reviews
I've used Ember Plumbing before and have always been impressed with their service, so they were my first call when I noticed a leaky faucet in one of our bathrooms. Once again, they didn't disappoint! Jack came out, quickly diagnosed the issue, and replaced the worn washers. The whole job was completed in less than an hour, and everything is now… Read more
working perfectly. It's always refreshing when a repair goes so smoothly—especially when the faucet finally stops auditioning for a role as an indoor water feature!
Jack was friendly, professional, and efficient, and the quality of the work was excellent. I'm very happy with the service and would definitely use Ember Plumbing again.
Very disappointing experience with Ember Plumbing. In August 2024, I engaged them to service my house gas hot water system and replace a few valves. The total cost was around $750. Unfortunately, less than 1.10 years later, the hot water system stopped functioning properly again and was only providing lukewarm water. When I contacted Ember… Read more
Plumbing, I was informed that I would need to pay another inspection fee. Since the issue appeared related to the previous work, I sought a second opinion from another plumber. The new plumber identified the tempering valve installed during the earlier service as faulty, which meant I had to pay again for both a new valve and additional labour.
What made the experience worse was the lack of customer support afterwards. My follow-up emails to Ember Plumbing went unanswered, despite requesting clarification and assistance regarding the failed part.
Based on my experience, I found the after-sales service extremely poor and disappointing. I expected better accountability for recently installed components. I would not feel confident using this company again.
I have had Ember before and would recommend them to anybody who needs a thorough and very efficient job done. I would definitely have them again.
Called Ember to book a routine service on our gas hot water heater, and to replace the anodes. They arrived on time, did the job in less than an hour, and left everything clean and working. I liked that they gave a quote for the whole job, unlike… Read more · 1
other plumbers who, when phoned, would not give pricing or said that their technician would quote once it was clear what needed to be done. Ember's plumbers were well-dressed and polite. Their van was neat and organised. I'd use them any time.
Follow-up · The quote was definitive: a fixed price for a particular job, because we defined what was needed. We did not need troubleshooting. Easy to book by phone, and we did not have to wait more than a couple of days for an appointment.
Wanted a local tradie and am happy that I picked Ember Plumbing to service my bathroom taps. Every stage from admin to service went smoothly. Service was punctual and performed with minimal fuss. Jack was very polite and my bathroom was left clean afterwards. Show reply
HWS failed on a Saturday. Called Ember. Tech quoted $450/hour! Very offputting. Called Monday, given a time for Tuesday to replace HWS (more gritted teeth). Tulan & Tyler duly arrived on time and in pouring rain. Undeterred, they set to work. Completed job in a little over the quoted time but given the weather, they acquitted themselves well.… Read more · 1
Pleased with techs efficiency/politeness. Unimpressed with out of hours labour rate. Also, this business does not issue receipts - you must request them. Given that charges can be in the thousands of dollars, am very surprised such a courtesy is not standard practice.
Love that I was told exactly when the plumber would arrive and could track his arrival! Jack did a wonderful job and was very polite and took his shoes off before entering the house - so considerate in the wet weather! Would highly recommend Ember Plumbing and Gas and will use them all the time from now on! Thank you for the great service. Show reply
excellent job. very happy with everything done [ detected and stopped gas leakage ] Show reply
Excellent service experience at each stage of my recent interaction with Ember Plumbing & Gas. Alex at the front desk was very helpful and organised for Dylan to come to our property to fix our gas hot water problem. Dylan arrived on schedule and promptly and efficiently restarted our gas hot water. Professional, affordable and transparent service. Thank you! Show reply

Excellent service with confirmation, times and price. Used Ember a couple of times and will recommend them to anyone in our complex. Thankyou Show reply
My mother in her 90's had her hot water system split and leak. Ember Plumbing were fully booked on the Friday but arranged an emergency attendance. As luck would have it, they had a cancellation and were able to fit the job in during normal hours. The plumber who attended was polite and very professional. The job was done quickly, neatly and the area was cleaned up after he finished. Excellent company to deal with. I would highly recommend them. Show reply
Excellent Plumbing Company – I have used Ember Plumbing and Gas many times for rental properties and my own home. This company is professional, communicate well from beginning to end of the job. They will provide free quotes if required and there are no hidden costs. Very reasonable prices and I refuse to employ any other company but Ember Plumbing and Gas. Their plumbers are… Read more · 1

Our search for a plumber is now over!!! – Truly 5-star service! Dylan, you should be incredibly proud of the company you've built. You've shown that genuine, old-fashioned customer service is still alive and well. What you did for us during the Christmas/New Year period was nothing short of remarkable. Providing us with a temporary unit while our new hot water system was on order ensured… Read more · 1
my family didn’t have to endure cold showers during that time—we were genuinely touched by your thoughtfulness.
You kept us informed every step of the way and ensured a quick installation as soon as the unit arrived. Your crew was polite, professional, and courteous throughout the process. Please continue maintaining this exceptional level of service; businesses like yours are rare and much needed.
Perfect service – Easy booking, honest and very competitive pricing, exactly on time with live driver tracking. Brandon helped with a range of plumbing questions and issues in our new home - great honest advice and friendly service. Highly recommended! Show reply
Good Service and well organised – I have just used Ember Plumbing for the first time to replace a water heater. I was able to contact Dylan on the weekend. Heater installed on time, as quoted and at a reasonable price. Ember seem to be well organised, efficient with good customer service. I would consider using them again. Show reply
We want them back! – This was the second time Ember has come out to us. Communication with the office and then with our plumber on the day was very professional and reassuring. Jaya was polite, intelligent, friendly and very competent. He explained the problem clearly and showed me the relevant parts needing work. When the job got tricky he didn't even swear (just a… Read more · 1
few grunts)! We are planning to have our gas hot water system serviced by Ember soon. The business is well managed - prices are reasonable and transparent - and the people trustworthy.
Hot water service in my house – On time, efficient, professional, and reasonably priced. The charge was exactly what they quoted. Nothing to complain about. Show reply
At last, a plumber came, as requested – A job well done, new hot water system working well. Couldn't ask for a better service, and pleasant tradesman, thanks to Ollie and his apprentice. Regards Stuart. Show reply
Excellent and cost effective service – Used Ember a number of times maintaining my investment property plus my home. I find them to be a professional and efficient business with reasonable rates. Highly recommended Show reply
An excellent job with a quick and proper installation – The installation was excellent. The fitter, Kade, did a really quick and clean job. Because of his professionalism and fast installation, my final price became less than what was quoted before. Show reply
I found them to be rude and unhelpful – I contacted Ember Plumbing to assist with a job. They replied essentially implying that they wouldn't fix another plumbers 'mistakes'. This was a renovation, things as you would expect pop up that you may require assistance with. The existing pipes (20yrs old) needed to be moved to fit a NEW cabinet. The response received: "If it was a small tap… Read more
service we could have squeezed it in. That will be a couple of hours work that another plumber has stuffed up so you should probably get them to fix it"
This was after offering assistance then not replying once information was sent/received. The above was received after I sent question marks.
Firstly. Could have stated the job was too big in the first place, rather than not replying than when they did, doing so with the above. Secondly. If they don't fix the work of any other plumbers, why are they in this field at all? How am I meant to know who the plumber was 20 odd yrs ago?
I wasn't impressed.

First Class Job, Very Reasonable Prices. Highly Recommended – Dylan and co installed new hot water system at best price. Excellent workmanship, very neat and clean. They subsequently detected an inaccessible gas leak, probably under the concrete floor, may have been leaking for years. Dylan then came back with team to run new gas pipes to all points, tested and approved by gas authority. I have used several plumbing companies over the last 30 years and Ember P&G are the best.

Good service – I had OK service to get some plumbing done would use again. They came out to the house on time, did the work with good quality and let me take a few days to pay Show reply
Professional, knowledgeable and good price – Dylan's quote was about half that of [Company removed] and no call out fee. His 1st visit was to confirm my 15 year old hot water system needed replacing, so he wrote out a detailed quote and organised a date to install. There was no charge for that visit. 2nd visit he arrived on time and installed the system, cleaned up and took old system away.… Read more
He did a great job and I highly recommend him. Also, the electrician Dylan used was good. Luke let me know that the previous electrical work I'd had done in the ceiling didn't meet regulations, so I could follow that up.
