Torrington is a hamlet in Kneehill County at the junction of Highways 27 and 805, about 30 km east of Olds and 26 km west-northwest of Three Hills. The Canadian Pacific named it, possibly after the market town in Devon, England. It was once a busy place with five grain elevators and an active rail line, became a village in 1964 and returned to hamlet status in 1997.
Torrington is known for its gophers. The World Famous Gopher Hole Museum opened in 1995, and by 2019 it held 47 dioramas with a cast of 71 gophers, but in October 2026 its volunteers closed it until further notice because of problems with its aging buildings. Clem T. GoFur, a 12 foot gopher sculpture, stands in the hamlet, and all 11 of its fire hydrants were painted to look like gophers.
Most homes here are older. In the 2021 census, 72.4% of occupied homes in Torrington were built before 1981, none were built from 2011 to 2021, and 17.2% needed major repairs. Natural gas in the hamlet is ATCO's, while land just outside the hamlet is in the Crossroads Gas Co-op area.

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.
