When the Heat Breaks Your System, Rare Breed Doesn't Break a Sweat

When the AC dies in the middle of a Utah heat wave, waiting days is not an option, especially with kids, older family, or pets in the house. That is why we answer the phone around the clock. Our team handles emergency AC repair 24/7 across the Wasatch Front, out of our Bountiful, Sandy, and Orem offices, and we come inside a 3-hour appointment window when we can. We find the real cause, tell you straight what it will take, and give you a clear price before we start: 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, no surprise number tacked on because it is late or hot. If it can be fixed today, we fix it today.

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

You Didn’t Plan for a Breakdown. That’s Why We Did.

AC failures don’t schedule appointments. They happen at 4:00 p.m., when the house is full, and the outdoor temp reads triple digits. In that moment, you don’t need hype. You need help.

Rare Breed is built for that moment. Our trucks roll fully stocked. Our techs arrive trained to isolate issues fast. And our process removes pressure from every step, no upsells, no uncertainty, no chaos. Whether it’s a shorted capacitor, iced coil, or failed contactor, we fix the problem and prevent the next one. That is not a patch to get you through the night. It is a repair that holds.

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.

AC Won’t Turn On at All?

AC Won’t Turn On at All?

We test breakers, float switches, capacitors, and safety locks before resetting anything, because guessing creates more damage. Rare Breed isolates the root cause and restores control with certainty.

System Running, But No Cold Air?

System Running, But No Cold Air?

Lukewarm airflow usually means low refrigerant, compressor issues, or airflow blockage. We run real-time pressure and temp-split diagnostics, and fix the actual problem, not just the symptoms.

Breaker Trips When the AC Kicks On?

Breaker Trips When the AC Kicks On?

Short circuits and locked compressors can overload your panel. Rare Breed checks inrush current, capacitor health, and motor resistance, and corrects the issue before it becomes an electrical risk.

Smell Something Burning or See Smoke?

Smell Something Burning or See Smoke?

That’s not just heat, that’s a warning. We check for overheating motors, arcing wires, and board stress, and we don’t restart your system until it’s truly safe to run.

System Keeps Shutting Down or Restarting?

System Keeps Shutting Down or Restarting?

Short cycling signals airflow issues or control logic errors. Rare Breed diagnoses control boards, sensor calibration, and duct pressure to restore balance and prevent future damage.

Not Sure If It’s an Emergency?

Not Sure If It’s an Emergency?

We’ll tell you, without the pressure. Whether it’s worth a dispatch or can wait for a tune-up, Rare Breed guides you calmly and honestly. Because your trust matters more than a service call.

Emergency Doesn't Mean Unprepared, Not When It's Rare Breed

AC breakdowns hit hard. We answer the phone and we come out. From Emigration Canyon to Santaquin, Draper to South Jordan, and every city across Salt Lake, Davis, Utah, Weber, Summit, Tooele, Wasatch, Cache, and Box Elder counties. Our team arrives with answers, not uncertainty.

Fully stocked trucks. Expert diagnostics. Transparent options. No drama, just relief you can trust Rare Breed Plumbing, Heating, and Air.

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.

Safety

No Shortcuts. Ever.

Safety sits at the heart of every decision we make. Every job we do keeps your family safe, your home protected, and our crew going home in one piece.

Trust

Earned by Showing Up.

It is rare to find a contractor you can trust completely, with your home, your family, and your friends. We earn it through actions, not promises, every single visit.

Excellence

Good Enough Is Never Good Enough.

We do the job right the first time, every time. The highest standard of skill and craftsmanship is the minimum standard here.

Progress & Positivity

Better Every Job. Positive at Every Door.

Complacency is the enemy of greatness, so we train, learn, and evolve every week. And we do it with optimism, turning problems into opportunities and lifting the people around us. You will feel it at the door.

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.

Fabulous customer service! When we s saw a few details needing more attention they came back gladly to make things perfect for us!

Nathan, Thomas, and the whole team have been amazing to work with. They did an amazing job with our 1946 home. It has been a crazy project, and they provided great solutions at every turn. They guarantee their work, and are quick to respond. Give them all the raises haha.

My wife and I just moved to Utah. We had a few things we wanted to upgrade and I needed a plumber. After looking over reviews and comparing a few quotes, I decided to use Rare Breed Plumbing. I am very glad I did. Chandler Horne did a great job of taking care of our bathroom faucet but he also checked on a few things for me since this was a new home and found an issue of high water pressure. (FYI- I have an Engineering Degree so I understand high water pressure, this was not just to sell more business.). I am very happy he found this as this could have been an issue in many other areas later on. Chandler also treated this repair as if it was he own home. This is the kind of person you want for any repair in your house. Thanks Chandler and because of you, I committed to Rare Breed for all our Plumbing, Heating and Air conditioner issues etc for the future. Thanks Chandler Horne!!
