Rare Breed dual outdoor AC condensers installed in Utah

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 3-hour appointment 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 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.

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?

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.

Installing a New Furnace or AC?

Manufacturers don’t include protection. We do. Rare Breed specs and installs smart protection at the beginning, so your investment starts strong and stays that way.

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.

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.
