Furnace and Heating
When the furnace quits on a January night, you need someone who answers and shows up.
We find the cause, tell you repair or replace, and get the visit on a 3-hour appointment window. No next-week quote on a house with no heat.
Every Heating Service We Offer
Rare Breed installs, repairs, and maintains furnaces and heat pumps built to handle a Utah winter. We check the whole system, not just the part that failed, and you get a clear quote before we touch anything. Annual maintenance is the cheapest way to avoid a no-heat call in January. Call 385-449-0144 or book a tune-up online.
We cover Salt Lake, Davis, Utah, Weber, Summit, Tooele, Wasatch, Cache, and Box Elder counties from our shops in Sandy, Bountiful, and Orem, including furnace repair in Bountiful out of our Davis County shop. Every job is measured against our A STEPP standards, backed by a 3-hour appointment window and a 100% satisfaction guarantee.
From the blog: how long heater repair takes and winter plumbing myths.
Furnace Repair
No heat, short cycling, or a burner that will not stay lit. We test combustion and CO, check the heat exchanger, and tell you what actually failed.
Furnace Maintenance and Tune-Ups
Burners, flame sensor, heat exchanger, static pressure, and the filter. Most January failures are already visible in October.
Furnace Installation and Replacement
Sized to the house, not to whatever was there before, and matched to the duct that has to carry the air. We pull the permit and we test airflow when we are done.
Heat Pump Installation and Repair
Efficient down to a point, and then it needs backup heat. We will tell you where that line sits for your house before you spend the money.
Emergency Heating Service
The heat going out at 11pm in January is not a next-week problem. We answer the phone and we roll a truck, 24/7.
No Heat? Get Immediate Help
Do I really need to service my furnace every year?
Yes. A tune-up catches a cracked heat exchanger, a failing flame sensor, or a blocked flue before it becomes a no-heat call or a carbon monoxide problem.
What is actually included in a furnace tune-up?
We check the heat exchanger, test combustion and carbon monoxide, clean the burners and flame sensor, read static pressure and blower performance, and change the filter. If something is failing you hear about it before winter, not during it.
How long should a furnace last?
Most run 15 to 20 years, though efficiency and comfort usually slip earlier. We will tell you when a repair is the better spend and when it is not.
Is a heat pump better than a furnace?
It depends on the house and how cold it gets at your elevation. Heat pumps are efficient and clean but need backup heat in a hard cold snap. We compare both against your actual load.
Are there rebates for a new heating system?
Sometimes. Utility programs and federal credits change year to year, and manufacturers run their own promotions. We will tell you what is actually available at the time we quote, and we will not promise a number before we know it.
What does a heating diagnostic cost?
There is a service call fee, and we waive it when you have us do the work. If we do not yet know what is wrong, there is a diagnostic fee, which differs during business hours and after hours, and it is often rolled into the repair depending on how involved the diagnosis was. If you already know what you need and just want a price, that is an estimate, and those are often free. Ask when you book and we will tell you the number before we drive. Estimates on replacement work are free.
Can I finance a new furnace?
Yes, for qualified homeowners. We will put the monthly number next to the repair option so you can compare them honestly.
Why do heating systems lose efficiency so fast?
Usually the duct, not the furnace. An oversized furnace pushing air through undersized duct runs hot, short cycles, and wears out early. We measure static pressure before we blame the equipment.
What areas do you serve?
We cover Salt Lake, Davis, Utah, Weber, Summit, Tooele, Wasatch, Cache, and Box Elder counties from our shops in Sandy, Bountiful, and Orem, with a 3-hour appointment window and 24/7 emergency service.

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.
