Water heater with a Rare Breed Plumbing service sticker and expansion tank in Utah

No Hot Water? No Panic. We Are On It.

No hot water, water that never gets hot enough, a pilot that will not stay lit, or a tank that leaks or rumbles does not always mean you need a whole new heater. Often it is a thermostat, a heating element, a thermocouple, or sediment from Utah’s hard water that a flush and a part will fix. We diagnose the actual cause before we quote, and we will tell you straight when a repair makes sense and when the heater is far enough gone that you would just be paying twice. When it is a real leak from the tank itself, that one is not a repair, and we will be honest about 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.

Schedule Water Heater Diagnosis

No Hot Water Is an Urgent Problem

Waking up to cold water is more than an inconvenience. It disrupts your rhythm, your family’s comfort, and your sense of control. Rare Breed responds with clarity, urgency, and diagnostic precision that ends the guesswork.

We repair all water heater types: gas, electric, tankless, hybrid, and indirect, and our technicians arrive trained to fix, not just replace. With stocked vans, code insight, and a system-first mindset, we get you warm again without the pressure to upgrade unless it truly makes sense.

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.

This often points to scale, thermostat drift, or sensor issues. We isolate the problem and return your system to full consistency.

Hearing strange noises or rumbling?

Hearing strange noises or rumbling?

That’s sediment buildup, and it’s damaging your system. We flush tanks, inspect anodes, and rebalance pressure to prevent wear and failure.

Repair or Replace in Hard Water

Utah hard water changes the repair versus replace math on a water heater. When a repair is worth it, and when patching a tank is money thrown away.

Shannon S.

My water heater had broken and Thomas was there within a day, and the water heater was replaced and running smoothly the following day. I was grateful for Thomas’ professionalism and knowledge on what was wrong. He explained it in a way that made it easy for me to understand. The parts and the labor were all set out for me to see what would need to be done and how much it would cost. I feel the price was quite reasonable. I know I have purchased a good product. I appreciated Thomas’ cheerfulness. I felt like I was in good hands. I will definitely have them come back for any water or plumbing needs. I have for my home.

Vikki M.

Such an amazing company!! Dom came and did my safety check and was so educational. Loved working with him! Dan L came out to do my sewer line inspection. Told me everything looked uneventful which in sewer line talk means it all looks great. Thank you for the peace of mind!!!!
