I had Auscan come in and replace my 15 year old hot water heater and was very pleased at their fast and efficient installation they took care in my home to cover the floors and removed all the debris afterwards. Lee took time to explain how to use the controls and how long the warranty is. I will recommend them again and again to all my customers and friends, Good customer service and quality workmanship are something i look for in a service company.

Lee from Auscan Plumbing came out today to fix a problem with my Gas fire. I had called two companies last week and one didn't call me back and the one that did told me he would call me after he had done his scheduling but never did. I called Auscan and provided the details and he told me it would be this week when he could do the job and that he would contact me. Lee the owner contacted me over the weekend and told me possibly Monday 01 October he could do the job he also gave me a price based on the information I provided. Lee called me this morning and said he would come this afternoon which he did and completed the job efficiently and effectively, and the final bill was less than he quoted me needless to say I am extremely happy he will certainly get my business in the future. I highly recommend Lee and Auscan great service great price and fast turn around even though he had other projects on the go Kudos

My gas hot water heater packed it in on a Saturday. I called and left a message with AusCan Plumbing and my call was returned on a Sunday afternoon and I had a new tank installed on Monday. Super quick and professional service. I have required AusCan's services twice and would not hesitate to recommend them and will definitely call them should I ever need such services again.

This is the second review I've given in regards Auscan Plumbing and Gas Ltd. in the last three years I have had the need to use their services four times . The most current was today for my 89 year old step father who had an issue with his gas furnace and was without heat. I called Lee yesterday and he did the service call today at Noon, he fixed the problem in one trip and even cleaned the operational parts of the furnace then went in every room to ensure that the system was fully functioning correctly before he left. He then called me to advise what had been done. I use Lee and his company because he is reliable, knowledgeable, honest and reasonably priced plus in my experience he has always gone that little bit above and beyond for me. I suspect he does the same for ALL his customers. I highly recommend Lee and his company Auscan Plumbing and Gas Ltd.

Lee at Auscan Plumbing is a professional; licensed for plumbing AND gas. 1. Lee relocated a basement rough-in shower and toilet in our new home in 2008. After Jack-hammering the concrete, the drain plumbing was re-arranged and new concrete poured. Installation of the two-piece shower stall was properly sealed, shower stall perfectly aligned with the new drain, and zip-lock bags of wet concrete placed underneath for floor support. After I had the sub-floor installed, Lee's crew returned to install the toilet and custom vessel sink and vanity - a perfect installation, even providing a rough-in to accommodate a 'mud-sink' on the other side of the wall. Very pleased with the final workmanship all around. 2. Lee's crew installed 2 replacement toilets and 3 vanity sinks in the upstairs bathrooms. On an Easter Sunday morning, a water supply fitting with a factory defect leaked water into the vanity and onto the floor in the en-suite. Lee himself arrived shortly to replace the fitting. I could have simply turned off the water supply until a regular work-day, but Lee availed himself to attend immediately. Extraordinary service. 3. Lee installed and connected a new combination gas/electric range in the kitchen. One visit, and no leaking gas odor as was the case following a gas-fitter's similar installation in another province. 4. The 7-year old kitchen sink was slow to drain and gurgled. I tried a chemical drain cleaner, but that did not work. And, a 'drain-snake' was too large to fit past the sink's drain fitting. Lee arrived a day or two earlier than scheduled! The P-trap was inaccessible being in a finished basement. Lee cut out a piece of drain pipe from under the sink to install a High Quality 'air-behind-water' valve and also an under-sink access for cleaning. The drain pipe had been coated with a thick lanoline-type chemical residue probably used in dish washing detergent for hand-washing (not used for dishwashers). Like a clogged artery, this had restricted the water drainage and even accumulated in the P-trap below. Lee used his 'drain-snake' many times to loosen the restricting accumulation and followed with many (6 or more?) flushings by filling the sink with water and using a plunger to ensure the P-trap was cleared. > There have not been any issues regarding his work, since. Lee is very knowledgeable, conscientious, and very thorough. Lee, a family man, can be trusted and relied upon to perform top quality and timely service, using high quality and modern materials and parts, and is proud of his work and his reputation. I thank him for all that he has done and will be calling him again to attend to my plumbing and gas needs. I can confidently recommend his services to everyone... COMMERCIAL and RESIDENTIAL.

We have a rental property that required a new hot water tank. Auscan came to the rescue w/ timely advice and recommendations on using a smaller, more efficient tank, as we really didn't need the larger size for the number of tenants occupying the space. Not only was the tank cheaper as a result, but our heating costs per month will be reduced by not having to heat a larger tank! Their assistance was prompt and appreciated. At the same time we were dealing w/ the water tank, we had issues w/ our dishwasher at our address. They offered a number of options to alleviate the problem. I highly recommend calling Auscan for all your plumbing needs!

Lee installed all the plumbing when we built our house in 2010. A few years ago he installed a gas line for our BBQ and another hose bib for us. So when we had a new project this year, Lee was the only person we called. Lee does excellent work, is very knowledgeable and always great to deal with. We highly recommend Auscan Plumbing & Gas!

We used Auscan recently to have our old hot water tank replaced with a new gas tankless hot water on demand system and to run a gas line for our new kitchen range. Lee was friendly, incredibly knowledgeable and quick to deliver on his quote, setup an appointment to do an inspection prior to installation and then perform the work. I truly value that he delivered on everything he said he would do from installation date to how long it would take to complete the work and when we got our range delivered he was able to come over quickly to connect it so we could make dinner that night. Lee also helped us apply for our Hydro rebate for the installation of the energy efficient new system. Auscan has been a delight to work with and I would not hesitate to recommend them to any of my friends - they are the only company I would use!

It's nice when you are in need of a fix - you find good people. Auscan responded to our call for a Hot Water Tank replacement, quickly and offered a competitive rate. We decided to upgrade to a bigger capacity tank and Auscan was helpful with options. Installation was prompt and with a quality unit. Again, always nice to find good people to work with.
