Boiler Repair in Bountiful, UT

Schedule Service

What we handle in Bountiful

Many of Bountiful’s older homes near Main Street were built with hydronic heat: hot water moving through radiators or in-floor lines instead of a furnace pushing air. It is quiet and even when it works, and expensive to ignore when it does not. We work on these systems one diagnosed cause at a time.

Boiler Repair

Cast iron, mod-con, and combi units. No heat, short cycling, low pressure, or a zone that stopped calling. We test the loop, the pumps, and the controls before we quote parts.

Boiler work in Bountiful is mostly upkeep

We ran a boiler maintenance visit in Bountiful on December 18, 2025, diagnostics in January and May 2026, and a full boiler install completed May 20, 2026, when a unit was truly done. That is the honest shape of the work here: maintenance and real diagnostics, with a replacement only when the boiler has reached the end. More on boiler repair.

Why a hydronic system needs its own diagnostic

A boiler is not a furnace with a different name. It moves hot water through a closed loop with a circulator pump, an expansion tank, and often zone valves a forced-air system does not have, so the problem can be the boiler, the circulator, the expansion tank, or trapped air in the lines. A Bountiful boiler diagnostic checks the whole system, not just the unit. The water heater often shares the same mechanical room, and we handle that too: water heaters in Bountiful. Yearly service is on boiler maintenance.

Why do so many older Bountiful homes have boilers instead of furnaces?

Homes built in Bountiful’s Main Street era, before forced-air furnaces were standard, were often plumbed with hydronic heat instead, radiators or in-floor lines fed by a boiler. Many are still running the original system decades later. That is why boiler work is a steady part of what Rare Breed does in Bountiful, even though the jobs are fewer than furnace calls.

What does a boiler diagnostic check?

The circulator pump, the expansion tank, water pressure, zone valves, and the heat exchanger itself, roughly in that order, since a failed circulator or a waterlogged expansion tank can look like a dead boiler when the boiler is fine. We ran boiler diagnostics in Bountiful in January and again as a priority call in May of this year.

Does Rare Breed install new boilers in Bountiful, or only repair them?

Both. When a diagnostic shows a boiler is beyond a reasonable repair, we quote a full install instead of patching it again. Rare Breed completed a full boiler install in Bountiful on May 20, 2026, the same spring that included a priority boiler diagnostic and a standard boiler diagnostic earlier in the year.

Where is the Bountiful shop, and when is it open?

Our Main Street shop at 270 S Main St Ste 113 is where Rare Breed started. It is open Monday through Friday, 8am to 5pm, with 24/7 emergency service, and boiler calls are booked inside a 3-hour appointment window. Directions are on the Bountiful location page.

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.

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!

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!

Dev R.

Court and Chandler literally saved our bacon, coming immediately out to my business (a birthing center) and not only fixing a clog in the main line of the building plumbing but solving a riddle that no other plumbers could figure out in nearly 10years! They had it all fixed within an hour!
These guys are saints! As well as honest and far, not to mention the fact that they just know their stuff.
We would have been so stranded without calling them. Thanks!

Service expert Kyler Rupp, was a great help. He answered all my questions and gave me a few tips on how to keep the pipes from my sinks well kept. Over all good costumer service!

Chris G.

Tyson quickly found answers where others could not. Great price, solid work, and strong ethical standards. I would highly recommend! I will be using them again.

Gibb Van Orman was so nice and so honest. My furnace wasn’t heating the air it was blowing. Gibb found the problem instantly and it was a quick fix. Other servicers could have said I needed a new motor but Gibb was honest about it. He also fixed a small problem that a previous servicer from a different company handled incorrectly. Overall, this was another great service visit from Rare Breed.
