The Quiet Defenders of Your Comfort System

An AC that gets checked every spring does not usually die in the first heat wave. Our system protection plan is the simple way to make sure that check actually happens, year after year, without you having to remember. This page is about the hardware: soft-start modules, surge suppressors, and short-cycle protection that we install on the equipment itself. If you are looking for a plan with scheduled seasonal maintenance and priority scheduling, that is Join the Herd. In our dusty Wasatch Front summers, coils and filters foul faster than most places, so regular attention is what keeps a system out of an early replacement. We keep it straightforward, no fine print, just steady care for the equipment your comfort depends on.

Office hours are Monday through Friday, 8am to 5pm. Emergency service runs 24/7. We come inside a 2-hour arrival window.

Your System Works Hard. Rare Breed Protects It Quietly.

Every season in Utah pushes your heating and cooling systems, through voltage swings, freeze-thaw cycles, and high-load days. And while most threats stay hidden, they’re always working against you: compressor wear, logic board burnout, fan relay failures.

That’s why Rare Breed Plumbing, Heating, and Air installs system protection packages engineered to stop problems before they start. From soft-start modules and surge suppressors to short-cycle prevention, these upgrades sit quietly on the equipment until they’re the only thing standing between you and a breakdown.

Every job is measured against our A STEPP standards, backed by a 2-hour arrival 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.

Worried About Power Surges or Grid Instability?

Worried About Power Surges or Grid Instability?

Surge protectors guard sensitive HVAC electronics, including motors, boards, and thermostats, from lightning strikes, grid transitions, and whole-home generator surges.

AC or Furnace Struggles to Start? Trips the Breaker?

AC or Furnace Struggles to Start? Trips the Breaker?

That’s high inrush current, and it adds strain every cycle. Soft-start upgrades smooth startup loads, reduce noise, and make your system generator-ready.

Noticing Frequent On/Off Cycling?

Noticing Frequent On/Off Cycling?

Short cycling isn’t just annoying, it’s damaging. We install controls that stabilize run logic and reduce the micro-stress that shortens equipment lifespan.

Trying to Avoid Early System Failure?

Trying to Avoid Early System Failure?

Voltage drops, overheated coils, and airflow restrictions lead to early failure. Rare Breed Plumbing, Heating, and Air installs targeted protection tuned to your systems age, climate, and stress points.

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.

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.

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.

My wife and I have relied on Rare breed a few times now and their over all service has been amazing.

Their staff (Daniel, Miguel, Thor amoung others) listen to the wants of the customer and explain in layman’s terms the best solutions in their opinion, while keeping budget in mind.

The work they have already done on our faucets, water heater and softener look amazing and is functioning perfectly.

I 100% highly recommend them and appreciate the lengths they go to in the services and advice they offer.

Had Chandler out to do some work for us, as always, very polite, professional, and did a great job. Rare Breed is still my go to for plumbing and HVAC, thank you guys!

Chandler did a great job cleaning our drains today

I found Rare Breed by doing a Google search because we had a problem with our sink supply line spraying under our kitchen sink. Court came out the next morning and got everything fixed for us. He was really patient and did a great job of explaining everything he was doing and why. Additionally, he fixed our water pressure for us, as we had way too much pressure, so this will help to alleviate potential problems in the future. While I hope we won’t need any services anytime soon, I’ll definitely use Rare Breed when I do.

Kevin

Had an emergency on a Saturday night with our toilet, came out Sunday morning and got us all setup with a brand new one for a really great price! Even coached me on things to look out for when doing a replacement. Super friendly, super fast, and they care about keeping their work area clean while they’re in your home. Highly recommended!

Andrew J.

Thomas was prompt and helpful! He got the job done and explained everything very clearly . He didn’t try to upsell or do anything we didn’t need! Definitely would recommend!

Elizabeth T.

Miguel took the time to explain what was going on with my pipes and my options to get them fixed! He left everything cleaned up when he was done.

Dawn

They were quick to respond and resolve our issue. They even lowered our price after the initial quote because the work wasn’t as complicated and they felt like it was honest. I will definitely be calling them again.

Hannah W.

Gibb was awesome! Answered all my questions and was extremely professional

Jonathan P.

Great people to deal with,and great job.

I needed an old shower drain/p-trap replaced under a concrete slab. Throughout the process, Rare Breed Plumbing, Heating and Air provided best in class communication, customer service and a very nice end product. From their office staff (Randy) to the Service Expert (Jesse), everything flowed effortlessly (pardon the pun). I couldn’t be happier and highly recommend doing business with this company.
