Elite Home Services, a local, family-owned heating, cooling and plumbing company that has served Mountain View County for more than 18 years. Rural properties across the county are on its service list, along with Olds, Didsbury, Carstairs, Cremona and Water Valley. The team handles furnaces, boilers, water heaters, shop heaters, plumbing and drains, with emergency repair 24/7.
Mountain View County covers 3,763 square kilometres in the Calgary to Edmonton corridor, and the 2021 census counted 12,981 people in its rural municipality, outside the towns and the village. The county calls it prime agricultural land: it had 1,576 farms in 2021, and its 121,604 cattle and calves were the 14th highest count in the province. Dairy farmers milk around the clock, and at seeding and harvest the heavy equipment is out on the country roads.
The county goes back to December 9, 1912, when the Rural Municipality of Mountain View No. 310 was formed from four improvement districts around Olds and Didsbury. After a wartime merger it became the County of Mountain View No. 17 on January 1, 1961, with Didsbury as its seat, and took its present name on January 21, 1998. The county office is on Highway 2A between Olds and Didsbury.
Rural homes come with their own utilities to think about. Outside the towns, the province's franchise maps show at least four rural gas co-ops, and the county has no community-based wastewater systems, so homes rely on septic, while private well owners maintain their own wells. In the 2021 census, 89.4% of rural homes were single-detached houses.

Gavin and Liam were excellent! We had Gavin come out and do a consult for us last winter when we noticed our furnace was acting up and made a plan to replace it. Today they came out and got the new one in place! Efficient and very knowledgeable. Very happy with the service.
Gavin was incredible to work with. He was punctual and even got the job done ahead of schedule. There were no surprises. The quote was exactly what it cost. I would recommend Elite Home Services to anyone who is looking for an HVAC contractor and specifically Gavin as he is one of a kind.
We needed a thermocouple changed out in our furnace. It being a holiday I wasn't sure what I would be looking at for service or price. The serviceman, Gavin, was here within the hour. He was very professional and he handled our problem quickly and efficiently, and we weren't overcharged for the holiday, like a couple other places insisted on doing. We are 100% fully satisfied and would highly recommend their service to anyone. A1 Customer service.

Yes. Rural properties across Mountain View County are on the Elite Home Services list, alongside Olds, Didsbury, Carstairs, Cremona and Water Valley. The team works on furnaces, boilers, water heaters, garage and shop heaters, air conditioning, plumbing and drains, with office hours Monday to Friday and emergency repair 24/7.
Outside the towns, the Government of Alberta's franchise maps show at least four rural gas co-ops: Foothills Natural Gas Co-op west of the QEII from north of Bowden to just south of Carstairs, Cochrane Lake Gas Co-op around Water Valley and Cremona, Crossroads Gas Co-op toward the east and Rockyview Gas Co-op on the south edge.
Mountain View County says private water well owners are responsible for managing and maintaining their wells, and there are no community-based wastewater systems in the county, so rural homes rely on septic. Inside the house, Elite Home Services handles plumbing repair, water heaters and drain cleaning. Call 587-328-0194.
Environment Canada's 1981 to 2010 normals for its Olds station put the average January day at -8.7°C, and the record low there is -43.3°C. On an acreage far from town, that is why furnace maintenance before winter and 24/7 emergency repair both matter.
