Recreation
Polar prides ourselves on engineering dynamic and environmentally sustainable refrigeration systems that provide world class ice hockey and figure staking conditions.
Polar understands and enjoys working with our clients to facilitate great curling games by providing precise ice and ambient conditions. Hurry Hard!
Polar Engineering is well known in the industry for our experience in arenas, curling clubs, and recreation centers.
With this knowledge, we are able to develop custom refrigeration solutions which employ best-in-class control strategies to minimize electrical consumption.
Our refrigeration systems also utilize state of the art energy recovery measures which drastically reduce our clients natural gas and electricity consumption. This allows our clients to enjoy high quality ice year-round while minimizing operating costs and payback periods.
Polar Engineering provides a range of services which allow you to ensure that your facility’s refrigeration system is operating safely and efficiently.

Curling Clubs
Curling clubs require different design methodologies than other refrigeration systems. We will work with you to fully understand your club’s user groups, fiscal constraints, operating constraints, and desired operating conditions, allowing us to provide the best possible solution for your club.
Using our experience designing and project managing curling clubs across North America, we work with our clients to ensure the right refrigeration system is installed.
We recommend that our clients consider the following:
- Do you want your curling club to use refrigeration operators?
- Do you want to install an ammonia or Freon refrigeration plant?
- What is the best temperature to keep your club at?
- Is energy recovery right for you?
- Do you want to install a concrete floor or save money by installing a sand floor?
Grants
As energy, maintenance, and personnel costs increase year after year, the most cost-effective way of reducing a recreation facility’s operating costs is through energy efficiency upgrades and greenhouse gas reductions. Polar understands these upgrades can be very expensive and therefore works with our clients to secure millions of dollars in grants every year.
Furthermore, Polar understands everyone is busy and therefore enjoys helping our clients by taking care of the entire grant process include grant research, grant writing, engineering calculations, and project implementation. Please feel free to get into contact with our grant division to discuss if there are any grants that could be used for a project at your facility.
