Water Heaters
No hot water, rusty water, or a tank that pops and rumbles.
We tell you honestly whether it needs a flush, a part, or a replacement, then we do that work. A 3-hour window on the booked visit.
Every Water Heater Service We Offer
That rumble from your tank is sediment, and in Utah it builds fast because we have some of the hardest water in the country. We install and service tank, tankless, and hybrid water heaters, and we will tell you honestly whether yours needs a flush and a part or a replacement. Ask us about flushing it yearly. It is the maintenance almost nobody does, and skipping it does not cost you the service call, it costs you years off the heater. Call 385-449-0144 or book online.
Waiting forever for hot water at the far bathroom? A recirculation pump can fix that. Thinking about going electric? Read what a hybrid heat-pump water heater needs before you buy one. Already running a boiler? An indirect water heater uses it to make your hot water. Still deciding on fuel? Read gas vs electric water heaters, the four advantages of a tankless water heater, and why tankless holds up in a Utah winter.
We cover Salt Lake, Davis, Utah, Weber, Summit, Tooele, Wasatch, Cache, and Box Elder counties from our shops in Sandy, Bountiful, and Orem, with local pages for Riverton, South Jordan, and Herriman water heater service. Every job is measured against our A STEPP standards, backed by a 3-hour appointment window and a 100% satisfaction guarantee.
Water Heater Repair
No hot water, too little of it, or rusty water at the tap. We find out whether it is the thermocouple, the element, the dip tube, or the tank itself before we quote anything. That is water heater repair.
Tank Water Heaters
A tank keeps about 50 gallons in reserve and needs no power to heat it. We size, install, strap, and vent them to code, with an expansion tank where the code calls for one.
Tankless Water Heaters
Unlimited hot water and no shower order. Higher up front because the flue and the gas usually have to change, but the warranty runs about 15 years against a tank’s 6.
Water Heater Maintenance and Flush
Yearly, and every six months in water this hard. We flush the sediment, check the anode rod, and test the relief valve, which is the cheapest way to buy years.
Emergency Water Heater Service
A leaking tank is a 50 gallon water balloon sitting in your basement. Call us and the first thing we do is tell you how to shut it off. Then we come out, 24/7.
Code Compliance and Safety Upgrades
Seismic straps, drip legs, expansion tanks, combustion air, and flue sizing. The parts an inspector fails and a cheap install skips.

No Hot Water? Get Help Today
Do you repair all types of water heaters?
Yes, including gas, electric, tankless, hybrid, and indirect models. Our technicians are trained on all the major systems.
How long should a water heater last?
Modern tanks usually make 10 to 12 years, not the 20 your grandparents got. The glass lining and the sacrificial anode rod both wear out sooner now, and Utah water is hard on both. At 6 to 10 years start budgeting. At 12 and up you are on borrowed time.
Is tankless better than a standard tank?
It depends. A tank keeps about 50 gallons in reserve and heats without power. Tankless never runs out, does not care about shower order, and typically carries a 15 year warranty against a tank’s 6. We size it to your house instead of selling one answer.
How often should I flush my water heater?
Yearly, and every six months if your water is as hard as most of the Wasatch Front. Skipping the flush does not cost you the service call, it costs you years off the heater.
Should the anode rod be replaced?
Yes, about every three years in water this hard. The anode is the part that corrodes so the tank does not, and once it is gone the tank starts eating itself.
Can I finance a new water heater?
Yes, for qualified homeowners. We will show you the monthly number alongside the repair option so you can compare them honestly.
What makes a Rare Breed install different?
We pull the permit, strap the tank, size the flue, and add an expansion tank where code requires it. The corners a cheap install cuts show up as a failed inspection or a flood.
Why do some water heaters fail early?
Undersized, poorly installed, or never flushed. Add Utah hard water and sediment cakes the bottom of the tank until it pops, rumbles, and finally splits.
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.
