Rose Refrigeration & HVAC is a Flin Flon-based HVAC and commercial refrigeration contractor owned by Kevin Rose. Address: 247 Green St, Flin Flon, MB R8A 0G8. The company has earned a 5-star rating from customer reviews and has no complaint history on file with the Better Business Bureau since the BBB opened their file in May 2015.
The business covers two service areas that overlap in the mechanical trades. On the HVAC side: installation, maintenance, and repair of heating, ventilation, and cooling systems for residential and commercial properties in Flin Flon and surrounding communities. In a northern Manitoba context, the heating component carries particular urgency – average January temperatures around minus 20 to minus 25 Celsius mean that heating system failures need to be addressed fast, and having a local contractor available changes the response time equation significantly.
The refrigeration side of the business targets commercial clients. Restaurants, food service operations, grocery retail, and industrial facilities that rely on refrigeration and walk-in freezer systems need a contractor with the specific skills and certifications for that equipment. Commercial refrigeration involves refrigerant handling certification, required under Canada’s federal Ozone-Depleting Substances and Halocarbon Alternatives Regulations, along with diagnosis and repair of compressors, condensers, evaporators, and refrigerant circuits. It is a more specialized discipline than residential HVAC.
For a town Flin Flon’s size – roughly 5,000 residents in the immediate municipality – having a local specialist covering both HVAC and commercial refrigeration means businesses and homeowners do not have to wait for a technician to drive several hours from Winnipeg for equipment problems that cannot wait.
Customers who have reviewed Rose Refrigeration describe working with the company on multiple occasions and report the service as thorough and the pricing as fair. One long-term customer noted working with Kevin Rose across multiple service calls over time.

HVAC in a northern climate
Flin Flon’s winters are long and cold. Heating systems run at high load from November through April. Sustained operation at capacity is hard on equipment that has not been properly sized, installed, or maintained. HVAC contractors working in northern communities develop practical familiarity with what works and what tends to fail in these conditions – knowledge that is different from the experience base of a contractor working primarily in southern Manitoba.
Air conditioning is also part of the work. Flin Flon summers reach 30 degrees Celsius and above, so cooling systems are not a purely southern concern. An HVAC contractor servicing a building year-round across the full climate range develops a comprehensive picture of how the system performs under both extreme loads.
Commercial refrigeration certification in Canada
Commercial refrigeration technicians in Canada must hold a Refrigerant Handling Certificate under federal environmental regulations. The certification is issued by Environment and Climate Change Canada and covers proper handling, recovery, and disposal of refrigerants to prevent atmospheric release. It is a separate credential from HVAC licensing and is required for any technician who opens a refrigerant circuit in commercial equipment.
For businesses that rely on refrigeration for food safety or industrial processes, the certification requirement has a practical dimension beyond compliance. Certified technicians are trained on refrigerant containment, which reduces the risk of refrigerant losses that can damage equipment, create food safety issues, and result in regulatory penalties.
