The Techs Residents of the Pass Rely On

Tucked into a mountain valley, Crowsnest Pass deals with mountain climate and high elevation. The mountain climate brings heavy snow, hard freeze-thaw cycles, and Chinook winds that can swing temperatures by 20 degrees in a matter of hours. All of that is hard on home systems. Whether you need an HVAC company in Crowsnest Pass, AB, or electrical services in Crowsnest Pass, AB, Charlton & Hill has the licensed trades to handle it.

Charlton & Hill has been serving Southern Alberta since the 1940s, but Crowsnest Pass has been here long before even our talented team has. Homes in Blairmore, Coleman, Bellevue, Frank, and Hillcrest are among the oldest here on the Canadian side of the “Crown of the Continent,” and older homes mean older systems. When your furnace, plumbing, or electrical needs attention, we make the drive out.

Heating & Cooling Services in Crowsnest Pass, AB

Mountain winters in Crowsnest Pass are an entirely different animal from winters in the open plains. Heavy snowfall, extended cold spells, and rapid temperature changes from Chinooks can put some serious wear and tear on heating systems. 

Our HVAC services in Crowsnest Pass, AB, cover furnace repair and replacement, boiler work, heat pumps, and air conditioning. And when the valley heats up in summer, our AC services keep your home comfortable through the warm months. Here’s what we offer:

Plumbing Services in Crowsnest Pass, AB

Homes in Crowsnest Pass are among the oldest in Southern Alberta. They were originally built for miners way back in the early 1900s. While they may not be operating on a plumbing system over a hundred years old, those systems have been patched and updated over the decades rather than replaced outright. 

As the plumbing company Crowsnest Pass, AB, homeowners call for serious work, Charlton & Hill handles everything from Poly-B repiping to sewer line replacement. Here’s what we offer:

Electrical Services in Crowsnest Pass, AB

Charlton & Hill is the electrical company homeowners call for panel upgrades, generator installation, EV charger setup, and electrical repair. Our licensed electricians in Crowsnest Pass, AB, work on homes of all ages, including the early 20th-century builds that make up a big portion of the area’s signature character. Older homes are usually still operating on smaller panels that aren’t up to the electrical load we use every day. We see that regularly in Crowsnest Pass.

Having reliable power in a mountain community is so important. Storms roll through the pass quickly. Power outages are much harder to fix here because Crowsnest Pass is far away from Lethbridge and Calgary, where there are many more power lines to act as backups. We’re a Generac Authorized Dealer and Authorized Service Provider, too, and we install and service standby generators for homes that need reliable backup power.

Serving Crowsnest Pass and Its Five Communities

Crowsnest Pass isn’t one town, it’s five. Blairmore, Coleman, Bellevue, Frank, and Hillcrest all came together in 1979, but each community has its own character and its own history. Today, the Pass is home to about 6,000 residents, a growing tourism economy (with people coming from all over to see the famous Frank Slide), and some of the oldest homes in southern Alberta.

That housing stock is part of what brings Charlton & Hill out here. Homes built in the 1910s, ’20s, and ’30s have systems that need experienced hands. We know what to look for and how to fix it right.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are common questions we hear in Crowsnest Pass.

Do Crowsnest Pass homes have hard water?

Even though mountain water sources usually have lower mineral content, the Crowsnest Pass water is hard since it passes through limestone. By the time it reaches the pipes in a home in Blairmore or Coleman, it is packed with minerals. 

For example, those minerals wear down your water heater, build up on its heating element, and make it work much harder and use more electricity to heat the water. That’s why efficient power and good plumbing go hand-in-hand in the Pass. We install water treatment systems and can tell you what your home actually needs. 

Is a generator worth it in Crowsnest Pass?

For many homeowners in the Pass, yes. Mountain weather moves fast, and power outages in a narrow valley community can last longer than they would in a city. Sometimes, a big storm can have you waiting in the dark for days. If you have a sump pump, medical equipment, or just don’t want to be without heat and light in the middle of a January storm, a standby generator is a solid investment. We’re a Generac Authorized Dealer and Service Provider and handle the full installation.

How do I know if my older home's electrical panel needs an upgrade?

In a home from the early 1900s or mid-century, the panel was only meant to handle a few appliances, not anything major. Signs of trouble with your panel include your breakers tripping regularly, lights flickering, or the panel feeling warm. If your home still has a fuse box rather than a breaker panel, we can talk with you about upgrading it.
