When the Heat Fails, Rare Breed Shows Up with Clarity

No heat on a January night, a leaking boiler, or water spreading across the mechanical room floor is not something that waits until Monday, and in a Utah winter a cold house can mean frozen pipes on top of everything. Our emergency team answers and shows up, day or night, 24/7. We find the source fast, get your heat and hot water running, and give you a clear quote before we start the repair. A service call is $49, waived when you have us do the work, and a diagnostic is $189 during business hours or $199 after hours. We check the whole system so a rushed fix does not turn into a second call. When it cannot wait, we are on our way.

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

The Moment the System Fails Is the Moment the Right Partner Matters Most

Boilers don’t fail like forced-air systems. When something goes wrong, it’s often silent until it’s serious. Cold floors. Locked-out zones. Loss of pressure. Or worse: steam, flooding, or unsafe combustion.

Rare Breed Plumbing, Heating, and Air is built for these moments. We respond fast, isolate the issue clearly, and protect what matters. From hydronic leaks to ignitor failures, zone controller faults to pressure loss. We don’t restart until it’s safe, stable, and truly fixed.

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.

No Heat in the Middle of the Night?

We respond 24/7, and we don’t just reset. We diagnose pressure, ignition, zone flow, and logic faults with expert-level tools and complete clarity.

Boiler Locked Out or Throwing Error Codes?

Boiler Locked Out or Throwing Error Codes?

We interpret codes, trace failures to the board, valve, or zone, and get you answers before we ever quote a repair.

Hearing Knocking, Banging, or Gurgling?

Hearing Knocking, Banging, or Gurgling?

That’s not just noise. It’s turbulence, and a sign of trapped air, expansion failure, or pressure imbalance. We fix the source, not the sound.

Visible Leaks or Steam?

Visible Leaks or Steam?

Hydronic leaks cause cascading issues. We isolate the breach, protect downstream components, and prevent further system degradation, fast.

Smelling Gas or Carbon Odors?

Smelling Gas or Carbon Odors?

We shut down the system, test for CO, and verify venting safety before anything restarts. No risks. No assumptions.

Not Sure If It’s an Emergency?

Not Sure If It’s an Emergency?

We’ll help you decide, calmly, clearly, and without pressure. If it can wait, we’ll tell you. If it can’t, we’ll be on the way.

We Call It A STEPP.
Our Customers Just Call It Different.

Long before we pick up a tool, we pick up the phone. You call. We listen. Every job is measured against six standards: Accountability, Safety, Trust, Excellence, Progress, and Positivity. Here is what that looks like from your side of the door.

Accountability

We Own the Outcome.

If it is ours to do, we do it well. If it is ours to fix, we make it right. No blame, no corner-cutting, no excuses. That is how trust gets built, one job at a time.

Earned by Showing Up.
