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.

No Hot Water Is a Same-Day 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.

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.

Tomas and Nathan showed up and did an awesome job and we’re both professional, through and very friendly. They took care of our issue quickly and communicated everything they were doing before they started. I would recommend them to everyone

My wife and I just moved to Utah. We had a few things we wanted to upgrade and I needed a plumber. After looking over reviews and comparing a few quotes, I decided to use Rare Breed Plumbing. I am very glad I did. Chandler Horne did a great job of taking care of our bathroom faucet but he also checked on a few things for me since this was a new home and found an issue of high water pressure. (FYI- I have an Engineering Degree so I understand high water pressure, this was not just to sell more business.). I am very happy he found this as this could have been an issue in many other areas later on. Chandler also treated this repair as if it was he own home. This is the kind of person you want for any repair in your house. Thanks Chandler and because of you, I committed to Rare Breed for all our Plumbing, Heating and Air conditioner issues etc for the future. Thanks Chandler Horne!!

Nathan and Thomas were FANTASTIC! I love some good comedy with my service. I absolutely felt they were clear, clean, and transparent about the needed repairs and expectations. I researched several places and have no regerts 😜

Colson is amazing! He’s upfront, transparent, and so personable. He came in to give an estimate for a gnarly toilet repair, and his professionally and straightforwardness only adds to the company’s and his credibility. Highly recommend!!

I randomly called Rare Breed Plumbing and I would definitely recommend them to others. Kyler showed up on time and was very thorough at explaining all my options. I had a drain issue and after talking to Kyler I decided to go with flushing the drain out with a water jet. My drains are all working perfectly now. Kyler also pointed out some other potential issues that could occur later and suggested some ways that I could easily correct them myself. He also cleaned up very well afterwards. Kyler was very professional and knowledgeable
