Hot Water You Can Count On. Installation You Never Have to Second-Guess.
No hot water, rusty hot water, or a tank in the basement that pops and rumbles is usually telling you the same thing: the heater is near the end, and in Utah that end comes faster. That rumble is sediment, and because we have some of the hardest water in the country, it cakes the bottom of a tank quickly and cooks the heater from underneath. We install and replace standard tank water heaters sized to your household, and we will tell you honestly whether yours is done or whether a flush and a part will buy you real time. If you are replacing it, we bring the install up to current code while we are at it.
Office hours are Monday through Friday, 8am to 5pm. Emergency service runs 24/7. We come inside a 3-hour appointment window. Leaking, venting gas, or out of hot water right now? Emergency water heater service.
Fast Relief. Built-In Protection. Long-Term Performance.
Whether your tank just failed or you’re planning ahead, Rare Breed delivers tank water heater replacements with more than just speed. We assess capacity, recovery rate, venting, seismic safety, and system protection, so your new install does more than work. It works quietly, safely, and long after inspection.
From standard 40-gallon gas models to hybrid-ready electric units with smart leak sensors, every install meets our standard: no guesswork, no callbacks, no compromises.
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.

Water Heater Repair
No hot water, a tank that will not stop popping, or a unit that is leaking at the base. We test it and tell you whether a part or a replacement is the honest answer.
Tankless Water Heaters
Endless hot water if the gas line and venting can support it. We will tell you when a tankless is the wrong spend for the house.
Water Heater Maintenance and Flush
Utah hard water stacks sediment in a tank and clogs a tankless heat exchanger. A yearly flush is the cheap way to keep either one alive.
Emergency Water Heater Service
A heater leaking across the floor, spraying from a valve, or venting gas is not a wait-until-Monday problem. We answer, tell you what to shut off, and come out.
Code Compliance and Safety Upgrades
Pan, drain, seismic straps, T&P, and combustion air. The parts an inspector looks for and a leaking tank ignores.
How Long a Water Heater Lasts
Manufacturer lifespans assume average conditions, and Utah is not average. What hard water does to that number, and how to stretch it.

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.
