How ABR is Greener

Here at ABR, we care about the condition of the environment. There are many steps we have taken to increase the ‘Green Efficiency’ of our company’s operation. Here are just a few:

We are solar powered with panels on our building’s roof top we let the sun do the work of powering ABR technology.

All of the lights in our office are motion sensitive so when you walk in a room it lights up and when you leave they turn off.

In our warehouse we have switched from Sodium vapor lights to LED which lasts longer and is easier on the environment.

Our trucks are equipped with GPS tracking systems, so we ensure that the closest technician comes to your business, lowering the amount of time & gasoline spent on the road, reducing fuel consumption by 18%

100% of ABR’s delivery vehicles utilize ultra-low sulfur diesel engines
