Rare Breed dual outdoor AC condensers installed in Utah

Cooling and Air Conditioning

A house that will not cool in July is a system telling you something is wrong.

We find the actual cause before we quote a fix, then we do the work. Booked visits run on a 3-hour appointment window.

Every Cooling Service We Offer

We repair, install, and tune up central AC and ductless mini-splits across Northern Utah, and we diagnose the actual cause before we quote a fix, so you are not sold a new system when you needed a capacitor. An AC that gets checked every spring does not usually die in the first heat wave. Call 385-449-0144 or book online.

Comfort beyond the condenser: home zoning and comfort balancing for two-story houses that never feel even, smart thermostat setup matched to the equipment you have, whole house fans for cool Utah nights, and attic fan installation where the attic can breathe.

We cover Salt Lake, Davis, Utah, Weber, Summit, Tooele, Wasatch, Cache, and Box Elder counties from our shops in Sandy, Bountiful, and Orem. Every job is measured against our A STEPP standards, backed by a 3-hour appointment window and a 100% satisfaction guarantee.

AC Repair

Warm air, a unit that will not start, or ice on the line set. We check the charge against the manufacturer target and the electrical before anyone talks about replacement.

AC Maintenance and Tune-Ups

Wash the condenser coil, check the charge, test capacitors and contactors, clear the drain, and read airflow. Most July failures are visible in April.

AC Installation and Replacement

Sized off a load calculation and matched to the duct that has to carry the air. Oversized equipment short cycles, never pulls the humidity down, and wears out early.

Ductless Mini-Splits

Cooling for the room the duct never reached: a finished basement, an addition, a garage shop. No duct to run and each head is its own zone.

Emergency AC Service

A house that will not cool in a 100 degree week is not a next-week problem, especially with kids or older parents in it. We answer and we come out.

Do I really need to service my AC every year?

Yes. A spring tune-up catches a weak capacitor, a dirty coil, or a low charge while it is still cheap, instead of on the first 100 degree day.

What is actually included in an AC tune-up?

We wash the condenser coil, check the refrigerant charge against the manufacturer target, test capacitors and contactors, clear the condensate drain, and read airflow across the coil.

How do I know if my AC is the right size for my home?

We run a load calculation on insulation, windows, and layout. Bigger is not better. An oversized unit short cycles and never pulls the humidity out.

Is ductless better than central air?

For one room, an addition, or a basement that the duct never reached, ductless wins. For whole-home consistency, central air wins. We install both and we will tell you which one your house actually needs.

What does a cooling 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 air conditioner?

Yes, for qualified homeowners. We will show the monthly number beside the repair option so you can compare them honestly.

How can I lower my cooling bills without replacing the system?

Seal and repair the duct, fix the airflow, and get the filter right. We find a lot of homes losing conditioned air into a crawlspace before the equipment is ever the problem.

Why do the same cooling problems keep coming back?

Because the unit gets serviced and the duct never does. We look at airflow, load, and duct as one system instead of treating the condenser on its own.

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.

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.

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.

Chandler came by on a last minute call. He was kind, friendly, and very knowledgeable about water and water supply. I highly recommend these guys to anyone! He did a great job and was respectful of our home. Thanks Chandler, and thank you Rare Breed!

Jordan N.

Nathan and Coulson were very professional and respectful. Diagnosing a tricky wet spot on basement carpet and found the problem. I am happy with the results.

Lori S.

Colson was great. He explained everything and presented possibilities for additions/upgrades. Also, he worked efficiently and was easy to talk to. Hopefully I’ll see him in the future.

Michael B.

Colson and Nathan were super nice and respectful. They did a very thorough inspection and gave us fair recommendations for repairs.

Janelle L.

Update 10/13/26: Colson and Nathan just came and were super awesome and thorough. They’re gonna replace a bunch of leaky stuff in the crawlspace.

Chandler was awesome! He was really skilled, knowledgeable, and friendly. He fixed our tub drain issue. Then Cort, the owner of Rare Breed, showed up, too, to help tackle a tricky hose bib. They went above and beyond and were kind on the price, including a military discount. They also made sure to wear booties in the house to keep things clean. We went with their Herd Protection Plan because it’s worth it even with just the AC and furnace inspections, not to mention the other things that are included in the plan. We will definitely have them back.
