Quiet Heat, Disrupted. Rare Breed Restores It Without Guesswork.

When a boiler quits, the whole house goes cold, and in a Utah January that is not something you can wait on. Boiler repair covers no heat, no hot water, leaks, banging or gurgling pipes, a pilot or igniter that will not stay lit, and error codes that keep tripping. Our team checks the whole system, not just the part that failed, so the same problem does not come back in two weeks. We give you a clear quote before we touch anything, and we run 24/7 for the nights it cannot wait.

Office hours are Monday through Friday, 8am to 5pm. Emergency service runs 24/7. We come inside a 3-hour appointment window.

Hydronic Systems Don't Forgive Guesswork. Rare Breed Doesn't Rely On It.

Boilers aren’t forced air. They’re nuanced, pressure-sensitive, and unforgiving of shortcuts. One misstep can create airlocks, unbalanced loops, or permanent damage.

That’s why Rare Breed Plumbing, Heating, and Air repairs cast iron, mod-con, combi, and tankless boiler systems with a gauge and a test, not a guess. Whether it’s a dead zone, an error code, or a gurgling loop, we test before we touch. We fix only what needs fixing. And we restore not just the heat, but balanced zones across the whole house.

Every job is measured against our A STEPP standards, backed by a 3-hour appointment window and a 100% satisfaction guarantee. The office is open Monday through Friday, 8am to 5pm, and emergency service runs 24/7. Call (385) 449-0144 or book online.

Boiler Won’t Turn On or Stay Lit?

We test ignition controls, pressure switches, air sensors, and safety lockouts, restoring operation without guess-swapping expensive parts.

No Heat in One or More Zones?

No Heat in One or More Zones?

Hot water is only half the battle. We inspect zone valves, purge airlocks, check circulator performance, and restore flow to every loop.

System Making Banging or Gurgling Noises?

That’s turbulence, not just noise. We flush buildup, rebalance flow rates, and purge trapped air to return your system to silent, steady circulation.

Radiators or Floors Heating Unevenly?

Radiators or Floors Heating Unevenly?

Uneven heat signals imbalance. We verify pressure, adjust pump settings, and recalibrate zone logic for total comfort, from slab to suite.

Sudden Pressure Drops or Mysterious Leaks?

Sudden Pressure Drops or Mysterious Leaks?

We isolate expansion tank issues, valve failures, or hidden loop leaks with precision, repairing damage before it compromises your whole system.

Boiler Locked Out With an Error Code?

Boiler Locked Out With an Error Code?

We read the code, test the source, and correct the cause, not just the symptom. That means safe reset without unnecessary board or control replacements.

Fix the Fault. Preserve the System. Protect the Heat You Count On.

Boiler repair isn’t just about restoring warmth, it’s about restoring trust in the quiet system that keeps your home alive through winter. From Spanish Fork to Bountiful, Emigration Canyon to South Jordan, and every radiant-powered home across Salt Lake, Davis, Utah, Weber, Summit, Tooele, Wasatch, Cache, and Box Elder counties.

The Kind of Service People Talk About.

We built Rare Breed to feel different, and it turns out, people noticed. These are their words. Their stories. What it’s like to be cared for by a team that shows up with purpose, listens with respect, and follows through with heart. The kind of experience that stays with you, long after the work is done.

Thomas was magnificent; flushed my plumbing and took care of all my other needs (plumbing)

joe G.

Great experience with Thomas and Nathan doing the diagnosis and getting things figured out. Got the sink repaired and were great to work with.

Eric G.

Quick and consistent great service. Thomas and Nathan are heros of plumbing!

Michael J.

Colson did a fantastic job fixing my new tankless water heater. He went the extra mile and rerouted the venting to make it more efficient. He also fixed a drain and added the necessary shutoff valves for flushing maintenance at no additional charge. I will definitely call Rare Breed again.

JaeLynn W.

Got to work with Thomas and Nathan. They were awesome, very knowledgable, gave me options and explained my choices. Very happy with service

Conner M.

Chandler was great! He came out and checked all the plumbing to make sure we didn’t have any inventing problems. Now we can feel confident going into the winter months.

Allison G.

Great service and super fast resolution! Thanks!

We had a real problem with our 6 year old tankless water heater. Multiple plumbers came here to evaluate how to repair and install replacement parts. In each case, it was obvious they had no idea or experience working on tankless heaters.

On a referral, I called Rare Breed, to see if they had anyone trained and experienced on our heater. After evaluating the bids and impressions from no less than 4 other plumbing companies, all of which obviously had no expertise in tankless heaters, it was a true pleasure and relief to hear from Rare Breed, that they had expert plumbers who had experience with tankless and, specifically with our heater. They were not lying! They sent a true expert who was not only experienced and obviously skilled and knowledgeable, Aaron was a true gentleman through out the difficult repair. He arrived on time and made an excellent first impression with a firm handshake and introduction. He was neat and clean with clean organized tools. Aaron is as friendly as if I had a good friend come to work on our heater. He did exactly what needed to be done, with obvious skills and knowledge about our heater. It was a massive job that took 6+ hours of complex and difficult disassembly and the installation of extremely complex parts that had been shipped to me from the manufacturer.

The repair was not cheap but, it was literally less than half of what the previous plumbing company had bid.

Now we once again have a fully functioning tankless heater. I wish we had had the counsel and expert installation of Rare Breed 6 years ago. If we had their help then, we would not be dealing with the problems we are having now, because they would have steered us to a MUCH better manufacturer of tankless heaters but, that is water under the bridge now.

Thank you Aaron and to the company who sent you to us. We will use Rare Breed Plumbing for ALL our future plumbing needs and, if we do need their help again, we would also hope they would again send Aaron.

J. H.

Great guys, great service? Fair price. Really hope that I don’t need them but I am confident that Nathan and Thomas will give me superior service, all with a smile. Really good guys and refreshing to work with. Easy to trust!

James L.

Fast, responsive and fair pricing. Thank you!
