Just a quick note to say how pleased we are with our Plate & Frame chiller install. It has been up and running since September, with a few minor glitches and no down time, everything has worked excellent.

    We haven’t analysed the decrease in power consumption yet. But we are confident there will be a significant savings as our compressors do not run as long as with our old system.

Finally, I would like to thank you and your people for the time and effort you put in to ensure the installation was a success. Without any doubt any initial scepticism of the new Plate & Frame system has been proven wrong and after your people made the final tweaks to get everything right, the result more than meets our expectations.

I am pleased to provide a letter of recommendation for Norlock Refrigeration. This past summer, Norlock was contracted to perform extensive upgrades and repairs at the Revelstoke Forum and Revelstoke Curling Club. The extent of the work included replacing the chiller, replacing the refrigeration lines at the Curling Club, removing a redundant receiver and compressors, replacing a make up water tank, replacing a condenser water pump, installing a small compressor and brine pump and installing computerized controls for the plant.

The scope of the work involved Norlock doing a mechanical design for a dual circuit brine chiller so that the Arena and Curling Club ice temperatures can be controlled separately. The Curling Club has started operation recently and we are extremely pleased with the quality of their ice as a result of this mechanical design.

I found Norm Lockerby to be extremely knowledgeable, conscientious and reliable in his approach to the work. He basically moved to Revelstoke for a month to make sure the work was co-ordinated in timing and met deadlines. He worked closely with City staff and volunteers from the Curling Club to find ways to save funds by having some of the work done locally as opposed to by Norlock staff.

Norm made one day trip to Revelstoke at no charge to meet with a BC Hydro official and then prepared a grant application for us that secured an additional $14,000 from an energy savings grant. We would not have received this grant without Norm’s assistance.

Norm spent time training our Arena staff and has followed up regularly since the work was completed to make sure everything is running smoothly.

I know that Norm Lockerby is committed to providing superior customer service and the attention that he gave to our project made me feel that he wants to establish a long term working relationship with the City of Revelstoke.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if I can provide more information about the work that Norlock Refrigeration performed for the City of Revelstoke.

Mr. Norman Lockerby and his Company, Norlock Refrigeration, have been servicing our City of Kelowna Rutland Twin Arenas for the past 2 years.

I have found Norman and his staff to be very professional and extremely knowledgeable, always friendly and prepared to take the time to explain what they were doing and what to look for.

Since Norlock Refrigeration has been servicing our facility; they have installed a Desiccant Dehumidification System in our Arenas and as a result our ice and air quality have greatly improved. They have rebuilt two compressors and adjusted the other compressors resulting in reduced hours of operation of all 4 Compressors by 20 to 30%. Also, there were a number of computer programming problems in our system and these were corrected by one of Norlock’s qualified Computer Technicians. In addition to this, the Staff of Norlock Refrigeration have been very helpful in training our staff.

When Norman asked me to write this letter of recommendation, I did so without hesitation. I am honoured and privileged to recommend Norlock Refrigeration to anyone who is looking for a professional company to service their refrigeration needs.
