Copper hydronic risers with press fittings transitioning to PEX on a boiler system in a Utah home

Boilers and Hydronics

Radiant heat for a Utah winter, sized to the house you have.

We install, repair, and maintain boilers and hydronic loops so the floor stays warm when January hits. Diagnose first, quote in plain numbers, then show up inside a 3-hour window.

Every Boiler and Hydronic Service We Offer

Boiler systems heat differently and they fail differently. Whether you run radiant floors, baseboard, cast iron radiators, or a snow melt loop, we diagnose the actual problem before we quote anything and we explain what we found in plain language. Annual maintenance keeps a boiler efficient and catches small parts before they become no-heat calls in January. Call 385-449-0144 or book a tune-up online.

Planning something new or fixing an older system? See snow melt systems, radiant floor heating, radiant baseboard and radiator heating, indirect water heaters, and smart thermostats for boiler and radiant systems. Building or remodeling? Start with a hydronic design consult before anything gets poured.

We cover Salt Lake, Davis, Utah, Weber, Summit, Tooele, and Wasatch counties from our shops in Sandy, Bountiful, and Orem. Every job is measured against our A STEPP standards, backed by a 3-hour appointment window and a 100% satisfaction guarantee.

Do I really need to service my boiler every year?

Yes. Annual service catches corrosion, pressure problems, and combustion issues while they are still parts instead of a system.

How long should a boiler last?

With real maintenance, 20 to 30 years is normal, though efficiency and response usually drop well before that. We will tell you which side of that line yours is on.

Are boilers more efficient than furnaces?

Often, especially for radiant. A boiler heats water instead of air, which loses less on the way and gives you gentler, more even heat.

Do you work on radiant floor, baseboard, and snow melt?

Yes. Radiant floor, baseboard, cast iron radiators, and snow melt all run off the same hydronic loop. We design, install, and service them, including the loop, the circulators, the zone valves, and the controls. See snow melt systems, radiant floor heating, and baseboard and radiator heating.

Why do some rooms heat faster than others?

That is a balance, flow, or zoning problem, not a thermostat problem. We check circulator sizing, zone valves, and loop lengths before anyone talks about a new boiler.

What does a boiler diagnostic cost?

There is a service call fee, and we waive it when you have us do the work. If we do not yet know what is wrong, there is a diagnostic fee, which differs during business hours and after hours, and it is often rolled into the repair depending on how involved the diagnosis was. If you already know what you need and just want a price, that is an estimate, and those are often free. Ask when you book and we will tell you the number before we drive. Estimates on replacement work are free.

Can I finance a new boiler?

Yes, for qualified homeowners. Boilers are a bigger spend than a furnace, so we put the numbers side by side before you decide.

Are there rebates on high-efficiency boilers?

Sometimes. Utility programs and federal credits change year to year. We will tell you what is actually available when we quote rather than promising a number up front.

What areas do you serve?

We cover Salt Lake, Davis, Utah, Weber, Summit, Tooele, and Wasatch counties from our shops in Sandy, Bountiful, and Orem, with a 3-hour appointment window and 24/7 emergency service.

Thomas was great, in a quick manner and walked all steps and repaired leak in bathroom and brought up quick and easy fixed to prevent similar problems in the future

Colson Abel saved us this weekend! Yesterday our water heater decided to crack and start flooding our basement. Colson stopped the flood last night and this morning installed a new water heater. Of the many plumbers we’ve seen over the years, Colson is the best. Easy going, great knowledge and skills. Thanks Colson and Rare Breed Plumbing!

Court provided 24/7 emergency repair for us in Kearns, UT. Our main water shut off to the house started to leak profusely (6 gallons of water in 2 hours) in the off position around 8pm. We called around trying to find a plumber who could help us same night. Court (Rare Breed Plumbing) was the only plumber we called (out of 4) who was willing to come take a look at our issue same night. By 10:30pm he had the leak stopped and scheduled us for an appointment to fix the rest of the problem the very next day. Major crisis averted.

MaKea K.

I had my water main water shut off valve start leaking at 8pm. Not a good situation! Called around to a bunch of places and no one could help. I was able to call and get in direct contact with Court and he came out 30 mins later and stopped the leak so it could be properly fixed the next day! A+ service! I’d definitely trust him with any other issues in the future!

Tim H.

Lost heat in my house all of a sudden. The temperature outside was too cold for little kids to be without heat. Court showed up to my house and did everything in his power to get our heat back on as soon as he possibly could. Court was professional in his appearance, he was very kind and very knowledgeable. He was considerate to my house, my kids, and my dogs. I would highly recommend Rare Breed for any of your HVAC needs!
