Our old refrigeration system at the Rochester Ice Arena was a used plant from another rink - it had seen a better days and there was no way to tell at what point any of the major components would fail. Since we have installed Emerald’s ice³ Cube Refrigeration System, I have peace of mind knowing that the system runs smoothly and I can be away from the facility without worrying that I have to go in to fix something.

The most obvious advantage the ice³ Cube Refrigeration System offered us was cost, the ability to retrofit our original chiller plant room, an energy conscious/efficient system, smooth operating cost control (ice³ Cubes turn on an off at certain times), and redundancy (back up capabilities in case of failures.)

For ice rinks, the biggest driver to stay open is the bottom line - it comes down to saving on operation costs. Emerald was able to show us how the ice³ Cube installation process would work to replace the system and the potential cost savings associated with installing the ice³ Cubes. We have been using Emerald’s ice³ Cube Refrigeration System now since 2012 - our electric consumption has dropped helping us save thousands over the course of each season. We have not had to raise ice rates in the last 5 years, which helps us keep prices down to keep kids playing.

Our favorite feature of the ice³ Cube Refrigeration system is ease of use and the support that has been offered since day one. Emerald stands by their product.
