Olds sits where Highway 27 meets Highway 2A, 5 km west of the QEII, about 90 km north of Calgary and 61 km south of Red Deer. Settlement began in 1890 where the railway reached the sixth siding out of Calgary, and Canadian Pacific officials named the townsite after George Olds, the railway's longtime general traffic manager. Olds became a village in 1896 and a town on 1 July 1905.
Olds College was founded here in 1913 and is known for its agriculture technology programs. The Olds Historical Society runs the Mountain View Museum and Archives in the former AGT building on 50 Street, the third weekend of September brings Oldstoberfest, billed as the world's first and only Bavarian Rodeo, and Olds Fashioned Christmas has run since 1993.
The houses span the decades. In the 2021 census, 25.9% of occupied homes in Olds were built between 1961 and 1980, 17.2% in the 1990s and 4.9% from 2016 to 2021, and 61.2% are single-detached. An older house may be on its second or third furnace while a newer one has a high-efficiency unit venting through PVC pipe, and Elite Home Services works on both.

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. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm, and Elite Home Services takes emergency repair calls 24/7, including in Olds. If the furnace, boiler or water heater quits at night or on a weekend, call 587-328-0194 and describe what it is doing.
From the Red Deer River. The Mountain View Regional Water Services Commission treats it at the Anthony Henday plant northwest of Innisfail and sends it to Olds through two pipelines. The Town of Didsbury, on the same supply, lists total hardness of 170 to 230 mg/L, hard enough to leave scale in water heaters.
ATCO Gas. The Town's franchise agreement gives ATCO the exclusive right to distribute natural gas within Olds, an arrangement that began in 1956. If you smell gas, leave the house first and call ATCO's emergency line or 911 from outside. For work on the furnace, fireplace or water heater, call 587-328-0194.
Cold. Environment Canada's 1981 to 2010 normals for the Olds station put the average January day at -8.7°C, with average overnight lows of -14.3°C, and the record low there is -43.3°C. That is why furnace maintenance before winter, and 24/7 emergency repair during it, matter so much here.
