Dakota Community Centre

Dave Dulko - Facility/Buildings Management Specialist

Dakota Community Centre is a year-round two rink facility built over 26 years ago. Our ice plant was in desperate need of an upgrade that needed to be completed in as short a time frame as possible. The retrofit included a new chiller, high efficiency pumps and all related piping and controls. Prairie HVAC/R was the successful bidder on this project even though the original installation was by another competitor. Although our Community Centre had no past relationship with Prairie, it was decided that following a careful assessment of all bids Prairie would be awarded the work. I can confirm that the decision to work with Prairie was one of the best decisions we made on this project. The quality of the work was very good and their commitment to completing the project on time was exceptional. Prairie’s team worked tirelessly to achieve all project timeline goals and the new ice plant was turned on the exact day that it was promised to us. I would not hesitate in recommending Prairie HVAC/R for your next ice plant project. Thanks to Albert and his team of professionals for their attention brought to our Community Centre.

I commend your team on not only making good headway in a timely manner but the worksite is being kept extremely tidy.  I really appreciate that!  In addition, finding a manner in which to cut out the pipe and avoiding smoke and debris from getting into the air handling system was a huge benefit.  Great work guys, not that I expected anything less.

We had an issue with our CRAH units failing and Prairie HVAC/R proposed a solution that got us back up and running very quickly.  Prairie HVAC/R is our contractor of choice for this equipment and provides quality service with an honest approach.  Response times are excellent and we can often get same day service.  Prairie HVAC/R takes some of the stress and worry out of running a complex facility as I know I always have their support.

We have used Prairie HVAC/R as our ice plant service provider for over ten years, including a move in to our new custom-built facility.  Not only were they happy to work with us as a new business with a unique building and the challenges it provided, but they have grown with us to help us in the organization and maintenance of a much larger facility and system.  Prairie HVAC/R has always provided valuable feedback to us and our staff, as well as gone above and beyond to help us in times of emergency to work around the clock.  Albert and his family have been a part of our business since we opened and their care for their clients shine through in the quality of their work.

We have been operating two SMARDT chillers that Prairie HVAC/R engineered and installed.  They have been a dream and their cutting edge oil less technology makes them exceptionally low maintenance.  Any time there has been a minor issue Prairie HVAC/R's service has been prompt and efficient.  Their technicians always help to educate and are never condescending.  I would recommend them for chiller solutions in any commercial setting and am confident they will not disappoint.

Vitaliy Churilov - Maintenance Manager Western Region

Prairie HVAC/R has been a reliable and solid partner for Congebec Winnipeg over the past 3 years.  They have very skilled technicians that have worked closely with us to build a lasting relationship.  On several occasions I was pleased to see their technicians educate and explain to our operators better ways to run the plant, improve preventive maintenance practices or just deepen overall understanding of the system.  The owner takes pride in making sure that he and his team deliver on their commitments, and on several occasions I seen him step in to cover for a job that the assigned individual could not do due reasons beyond their control.  This gives me a high level of comfort knowing the owner and his team are always ready to support us in a time of need.

Dave Glenn - Pilot Mound Arena Facility Manager

Just a note to thank you for the great job installing the refrigeration system in the new arena in Pilot Mound. Your firm was able to respond to the many changes in design and stay on price. Everyone was impressed with the quality of the job and your staff's ability to work closely with the engineer and other contractors on the job. A big bonus for us was the web based building management system that you recommended and designed. You were able to integrate our heating and ice making equipment controls into one easy to operate system that will expand with our needs in the future. Now that we moved into our operational phase we are beginning to see the benefits of improved diagnostic ability to better understand any problems or adjustments we need to make. I look forward to working with Prairie HVAC/R in the future and would recommend any one with refrigeration or control systems requirements to use your expertise in their projects.
