Elite Home Services, a local, family-owned heating, cooling and plumbing company that has served Mountain View County for more than 18 years. Trochu is on its service list, along with Three Hills and Torrington. The team handles furnace repair and replacement, boilers, water heaters, air conditioning, plumbing and drains, with emergency repair 24/7.
Trochu sits at the junction of Highways 21 and 585 in Kneehill County, about 15 km north of Three Hills. The Town puts Calgary an hour's drive southwest and Red Deer 50 minutes northwest, with the Red Deer River valley 18 km away. It is named for Armand Trochu, a Frenchman who arrived in 1903 planning to raise horses. His St. Anne Ranch added a post office in 1906.
The settlement moved up the hill from 1909, when word came that the Grand Trunk Pacific would run through, and Trochu became a village in 1911 and a town in 1962. The St. Anne Ranch, southeast of town, is now a Provincial Historic Resource. The Trochu Arboretum grows hundreds of varieties of trees, shrubs, perennials and annuals, the museum on Arena Avenue keeps the presses that printed the local paper, and in a 2009 contest the town won the World's Largest Golf Tee, 40 feet tall.
Trochu's homes are among the oldest in the area. In the 2021 census, 26.7% of occupied homes were built in 1960 or earlier and 39.5% between 1961 and 1980, and 10.5% needed major repairs. Natural gas is ATCO's, and water comes from the Three Hills regional plant on the Red Deer River.

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.
